News! Link to New Sliders and Dolly systems Page
You can now order custom cables from us. The plate system also works on Sony Z1U, Z5U and Z7U's. The EX1 is a great camera, but we can make it a better sturdier system. The addition of our Stronger Plate protects the connection between the EX1 and the tripod. It keeps the screw from loosening by adding 3 more 2mm screws into the metal frame in the EX1. You simply remove 3 of the screws in the bottom of the camera, and install the longer ones we supply through the plate. We supply all the tools you need. And the optional wing takes the added stress of wireless mics NanoFlash etc. and puts it directly into the new plate instead of adding more weight to the sinlgle 1/4" screw on the bottom of the EX1 Most orders ship the the same or following day. Money back guarantee if you are not 100% satisfied. Contact me for any custom needs or suggestions. Contact us if you have any questions or special requests contact me:
What people say about our system: I just got a couple of these from Olof for each of my EX1s. Mine are exactly as pictured above, black plate and wing with the single shoe. First of all, Olof was very helpful in the days leading up to my order. I had a lot of questions and he always responded promptly. Once I placed the order, I had the plates in a matter of days. First thing I noticed is that they felt super solid. They're obviously well made. All the necessary tools and screws are included and installation was a breeze. The plates are a perfect fit and I feel good knowing I'm no longer going to be putting massive stress on the cameras' tripod connector. I have yet to actually use them in the field but so far so good. I have a few shoots this weekend so we'll see how it goes! Thanks Olof! Olof built pictures # 9 & 10 for me and I am very pleased with the quality and how well it functions. The stiffness of the bottom plate is a needed addition and now being able to add either the nano off the back or to the side simplifies my kit bag. Thanks Olof great work. I was Olof's "beta tester" for this product, and it is terrific. I sent my camera to him so that he could attach the plate for me. My factory tripod receptacle got ripped out -- Olof repaired and made a much stronger bottom plate for a lot less than Sony would have charged to just bring it back to factory. The "wing" is very handy -- I used it last night to mount my Sound Devices preamp. In addition, as you'll see from the photos below, the threads are configured so that I can use both screws and the pin for my Sachtler wedge plate. If you're adding any weight to the EX1, such as a lens adapter or teleprompter (I had both when mine crashed), this is a must-have. Or if you're not as careful as you should be about not putting excess pressure on the factory receptacle (that's me too), ditto. By the way, when Olof had my camera I had him also fix an issue I had with one of my XLR inputs. And he had the camera back to me in less than a week! __________________ Olof, Chris Clifton by Email.

When using the hood loop I find just using the "lean" small brace with the large Swit 96WHr battery works very well for me and Sharyn likes that as well. It also fits in a small run bag that way. And all of this can be mounted adjusted or removed while on the sticks.
Keeping the brace straight and sliding camera forward on your shoulder is a very comfortable way to use the LCD even outside in bright sunlight.
