just went out on a limb and ordered the Gini Rig DSL 17 Magic Plus... i usually wouldent want to buy a seller overseas but the the rig was priced at $800+ and i got it for $400 even. I have heard these rigs are heavy but they are generally pretty good rigs for the money. any testimonials?

LOVE my Gini rig ... pretty damn solid for the cash. a bit heavy but hell it stabilizes shots excellently

I'll let you know in a couple of days... I ordered one from his website as they are cheaper than the Ebay store... I figure I couldn't loose to much at the price he has on his site... $179

Do you have a link?

Thats the link.. looks like its down at the moment....

so far, my 2nd week having my $400 Gini I still love this rig. aside from one very very very small paint chip the rig is in excellent, sturdy working order. before this shoulder rig i had a Zacuto Striker for $750...the difference in price is insane.

Got mine in the mail yesterday... super quick on the shipment, I was suprised... The materials and finish are top notch... all I did so far was unpack it and put it together... can't wait to start using it...

I'm looking to put a really right stuff quick release as that is what my camera's use...


Best way I know of now to get one is to just go on Ebay and make the guy an offer and see if he takes it.

yeah making the offers is the best, shocked as shipping as well, 2 days to california!...i got a manfrotto 577 QR plate works great
