This is my version of the Bulldog shoulder rig that I use to film parts of our The Santa Fe TV Show (http://www.SantaFeTvShow.com).

The display is in a comfortable position, and the rig feels very solid and it is very well balanced even without weights in the back. The GH2 mounts a 50mmCanon FD lens and I used the lens shade from one of our EX1s attached to a 77mm step up adaptor. No vignetting at 14mm.

The HDMI output of the GH2 is GREAT, it fills the 16:9 screen from side to side and I can read all info!

What does a rig like that cost? It looks sweet.

Do you mount an audio recorder on there or do you have a body pack or something?

Call Tim at Indisystem 319.504.3985 and ask him. We do testing for them so I can not give you a correct answer.
Tim is very available to customize the rig to your needs and saving you money. By the way, his stuff is built in USA. And you can feel it when you put that rig on your shoulder.

Hope this helps.

It depends on the size of your audio recorder, but my Marantz 661 would fit mounted on the side bar (the one where the monitor is attached to. Remember. that vertical bar is adjustable up and down a good 2", with standard 1/4 holes in it where you can mount extra stuff. Very nice design...
