What the thread found

• A short centerpost extension can be used as the sole support structure for an entire rig, creating a compact camera platform.
• This approach became practical with the arrival of lightweight professional cameras like the Alexa Mini.
• The sled is designed to be compatible with any rig featuring a removable top stage, excluding Tiffen M1 rigs.
• The monitor is mounted directly on the gimbal, which requires a brief learning period but becomes intuitive quickly.
• The sled has a significantly smaller horizontal footprint compared to other camera support systems like AR, Alien, or Lynn axis rigs.
• Customizable wiring options are available for integration with different rigs.

Depends on

• The concept was developed as a proof of concept at a trade show and its full production status is unclear.
• Compatibility is limited to rigs with removable top stages.
• Experience is based on limited testing at a trade show.
• The monitor placement on the gimbal may not suit all operators or shooting scenarios.
