What do you use to stabilize the Mini while handheld, and to do Follow Focus?

I just stumbled upon this contraption, originally made for Canon 5D Mark II:

Cavision | Follow Focus Shoulder Mount Package | RS5DM2SET-F (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/637644-REG/Cavision_RS5DM2SET_F_Follow_Focus_Shoulder_Mount.html/BI/2187/KBID/2932)

Will this work with the Mini?

I use the original accesories of PS Technik, but are expensive.

Also Zacuto has a package of accesories designed for the SI-2K
Zacuto USA 888-294-3456 | Zacuto - SI-2K Kits (http://www.zacutoimages.com/p30059877)

The Cavision contraption will work if you take off the LCD cover, put the 7" touchscreen monitor, and put a battery holder with the correct Lemo adapter and a Bauer-tap to connect the Touchscreen.

I'm using a DV Multi-RIG pro. It's a cost effective, quite versatile solution. Lots of threads and spots to hook on additional accessories.

For lighter weight, I use a simple photography bracket which I can mount a shotgun mic instead of a flash.

Pictures of some of the rig setups in my blog.
