[@onestudios8660]

This is the review everyone needs to see. All it's upsides, downsides and even fixes for it's downsides.

[@ScottDumas]

Thanks so much! Glad to hear that :)

Hi, what are the VCT-U14 issues you briefly mentioned?

[@Utsab_Giri]

What rosette handles are you using? And what are you using to mount the C200 grip to the handle? Thanks!

[@ScottDumas]

I have the 1684 arms here, though the longer versions might be nice, and the C200 grip just screws right into them. I'm using a Zacuto extension cable to connect it to the camera.

Great video comparison Scott!

[@patrickfougere0001]

great video! and a very good review. I think I watched your video like 3 times. I love the fact you said what you like and didn't like, with the PRO'S and CON'S, and even showing a DIY fix for the issue. My Smallrig shoulder pad and Smallrig VCT-14 BASE PLATE COME NEXT WEDNSDAY (along with some other goodies)! I'll let you know if they fixed the back pin space issue. Your video was a deciding factor for me to get this plate. Question though... what length extension arms did you get for the rosette mounts? I got the ARRI Rosette Arm 1684... I think they might be too short for my needs. It looks like you got the "SmallRig Extension Arm with 2 Arri Rosettes 1807". I hope I didn't just blow $120.00 for nothing! lol Keep up the great videos.

[@ScottDumas]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I did actually get the 1684 arms as well, and they are a little short so I wouldn't mind having longer or extending ones, but I can manage well enough haha. Thanks again :)

[@emmnauelalexandergonzalez9078]

Do they fixed the problem with the small rig combo? Thanks

[@projectcarslabo8307]

Good evening Excuse me I have the same problem of playing with the sole or I can buy the two pieces that you have changed please Thank you

[@ScottDumas]

I'm not sure if Smallrig has fixed this with newer versions but you can contact and ask them about it. Otherwise, it's just a bit of DIY. Annoying and time consuming to sand it down, but it does help :)

[@gostepfilmpro]

Thank you Scott, really informative!

[@ScottDumas]

Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@prasannp7]

The Kessler quick release system uses Arca-Swiss plates.

[@ScottDumas]

Ah, good to know! Thanks :)

[@tomgosy]

THERE IS A VCT PLATE MADE BY SMALLRIG (Now anyway, I don't know about the date at which this video was made)

[@ScottDumas]

Right! This was made before it haha... I'd love to test out Smallrig's version ...if they're watching ;)

[@artlovee]

Great review

[@aaschasse]

Can you please also link to the cable you've used to extend your handle this way?

[@ScottDumas]

It's from Zacuto and they don't seem to have it listed individually on their website. I contacted them directly to buy it. SHAPE also sells one though, and that's readily available on B&H etc. Just search for SHAPE C200 grip extension cable and you should find it easily

[@WojtriX]

What length rods do you use on the back

[@ScottDumas]

In this video I think I was using something around 10cm rods... I have a set I sawed down to be even shorter too haha.

[@WojtriX]

@@ScottDumas cool, I am purchasing the same set for the Ursa Mini Pro

[@bernhardtsen74]

kickass gear!buying the D850 next year! this little D750 I use is nice but the video settings and video menu is not great!must train my shitty back and tone up my legs to get used to a shoulder mount that u use!such a shame that I saw Sicario 2!meaning they used Roger Deakins for the 1st half of the movie and a generic action shooter for the 2nd half!

[@ScottDumas]

The D850 will definitely be an upgrade! The D750 was nice too but mine gave me too many problems and I moved up to the D810 (before switching to Canon). The D810 was a beast though and I'm sure the D850 is even better :)

[@gestaltungsraum42]

Thank you !!

[@ScottDumas]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@codycooke6047]

I’ll stick with Zacuto rather than a cheap Chinese knock off. Good video though!

[@ScottDumas]

Haha Zacuto stuff is great- a little overpriced perhaps but great. Hope you enjoy :)
