I have started to work on the FS7 Comfort kit.
I want it to be small and light but well balanced and comfortable as well as modular.
Here is the beginning. Basically a very solid bottom plate that attaches with 4 screws (2 where the Sony pad was). A much more padded shoulder pad. very simple 15mm rail mounting up front and in the back, or as in these photos my cheese plate with IDX, AB or even other battery plates. This really helps to balance the rig on the shoulder.
I don't like moving the whole camera too far back because then it is awkward to operate all the buttons and a small lens like the 14-70 f4 in these photos.
The extra wing on the back cheese plate is for wireless receivers or other accessories. Everything comes apart quickly with thumb screws like my other kits.
I will probably have a batch of beta versions back from the anodizer (black) on a week from Tuesday. Contact me if you are interested in a beta version at a good discount. The final kit will be priced similar to my FS700 and other kits.
Any comments are welcome.
Here are some quick and dirty photos in my shop at the end of the first day of development.
