I am sorely tempted, I have been looking seriously at a Batrak, which I think looks a little better. But it would be a long time, before I needed all the space on the Batrak, and I could save $120. Do you guys have any thoughts on the Halfrak?Malachi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airdrew20012001 0 #2 March 12, 2002 It's fine if you don't mind side mounting a PC and top mounting a still. I have seen people go that way. I like the larger top platform for my TRV 17 and the rebel side by side mounted but that's because I am creeped out by side mounting anything because of irrational fears of riser strikes. People who use the half-rack have said it's never happened to them. Drewfus McDoofus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyingferret 0 #3 March 13, 2002 Yeah, I can understand that, hard to be too careful. Although I talked to one person that used a fin to mount his still camera in a vert position and a pc camera next to it. The main reason I am looking at side mounting, is because I really don't want to fly a ring sight unless I begin to make a living flying camera. And a side mount makes the pov of the camera at the same level as your eyes. My thoughts might be irrational too. Just guessing.Malachi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
