What the thread found

• A custom mounting plate that sits flush against both the camera bottom and Steadicam plate can reduce vibration compared to designs with gaps between components.
• Genesis camera weighs approximately 39 pounds without lens and mounting plates, and requires tethering to external equipment.
• Upside-down shooting with digital flip in post-production offers a stable alternative to low mode brackets and allows faster switching between high and low positions without bracket changes.
• Traditional low mode plates can introduce vibration due to gaps and mass magnification in the rig assembly.

Depends on

• The flush-mounting solution was still in development and not yet tested in actual production.
• Most productions prefer low mode equipment despite vibration issues rather than accepting upside-down image capture.
• The Genesis camera requires significant additional mounting hardware beyond basic camera and lens.
