Nice work! I like how it mounts into the holes on top of the camera.

I have a question regarding the disk and cable used. Do you have any links?
Is the enclosure for the disk 3d printed?

I like the small disk but in my setup I would prefer the disk below
the camera like a winder or vertical grip or mounted to 15mm rails
as the camera would almost exclusively  be used in a studio with a 1st assisant
and remote screens.
Have you tested your dis for max dng write speed?

Having the disk below, like a winder/V-grip is a good idea. I opted against above/below due to my need for solid tripod mounts and the fact that I wanted a better grip for handheld shooting.

Yes, the enclosure is 3D printed. Below are the links to the drive, adapter and cable I used. I have not tested the drive to find it's speed - it is much faster than SD card though...

Tried to have a look at the 3D-File linked in the Video, but both, the Grip itself and the Inserts just lead to an Error-Page. Also the Link for the Rosette and the Standoff seem to be swapped.
 I Personally would want something Protecting that Cable Coming out at the Bottom, so if i set the Camera down or it falls over or something, the Cable wouldnt take all the Stress from that. Extending the 3D-Printed Material Down a bit on the "outside" would do. I would want that material to extend at least 1x or 1,5x the Thickness of the Cable beyond the Point where its Fixed (aka, the Point it would bend from, so the Cable would have at least a bending Radius of something like R=2xD or R=1,5xD, which would be worlds better for that Cable than a Sharp bend at Full Force.
 As Far as Mounting goes, i would use this:
 https://www.ebay.de/itm/255280846968
 (Standard Arri-Rosette with a Slot For Adjustable Mounting on 1/4" Holes)
 To mount to the Left Side of My Cage i am Building (see: https://forum.krontech.ca/index.php?topic=683.0 . Just Posted some Updated Images of the Progress there.). That Plate seems Fine and sure works fine if you dont have a Cage, but as i soon have a Cage, that is just More Streamlined. Still need to Tap these with 1/4" 20TPI, would probably end up using the Lower two of these (see Image).
 .
 Will PM you soon about further Details.

Apologies for the delay - I was traveling. Anyhow, I think I fixed the links...

Your suggestions are very do-able - I like the idea to protect the cable with a guard that extends from the handle. I could modify the design for you if you like.

You cage design is EXCELLENT! However, your rosette mount would only save a few millimeters of thickness as compared to the one I am using. I also don't understand how it will attach to the cage as you need a male base on the rosette and that one looks to be female. Unless you plan to use the slot to screw through - in which case, I think it would work but puts the point of connection well outside the rosette and could prove to be less robust.

Hi There! I have recently acquired a Chronos 2.1 and LOVE my camera! This is my first post on this forum. However, I was very inspired by the 3D printable SSD Cage. I have taken it a step further and buried an M.2 SSD into a handgrip for my Chronos. I have made a brief video to showcase it and (hopefully) attached an image to my post. Let me know what you think:

I have provided a BOM in the description of the video in case you would like to make your own. I am also prepared to build up a few for anyone who might want one that is plug-and-play.
