Redrock has partnered with several vendors to ensure you have all the elements you need to be successful using the M2. Here are solutions to a few additional items you may not have considered (Please note: These products are presented to you as a convenience to help you find your complete solution. Redrock does not take orders, profit from, or support any products on this page. Please refer to the appropriate reseller)

Upside-Down Image in Production

One of the design trade-offs in producing this low-cost, high quality adapter is that the M2 image is projected upside-down on your field monitors and on tape during production. Fortunately, there are several simple ways to address this:

  1. The "kitchen magnet" approach (see Redrock user forums, or see the DVX setup picture)
  2. On-camera LCD monitor(see below)

Redrock has partnered with EVS to offer you the following LCD on-camera monitors. All these monitors come with the 180 degree flip needed to correctly view M2 images while in production - and you get a huge screen to boot!

 When ordering from EVS, Call In your order, and mention the "Micro35 Discount".  You will get 10% off the Nebtek NEB-64H monitor and 10% off the IKAN V7000 and V9000 monitors.

Upside-Down Image in Post- Production

72mm Lens Diameter

Redrock has no affiliation with adapterrings.com, but they have a fantastic selection of step-up and step-down rings and a simple-to-use catalog.

Visit Adapterrings.com to inquire and order on any of the products listed here

The M2 requires your DV or HD camera lens diamater be 72mm.

If your lens is a different diameter, you can use step-up or step-down rings to get to 72mm (some sizes may require more than one step-up or step-down ring - that is fine).
