Nice to see the rig... But way too many pics to scroll through, especially via my iphone. We don't need to see image after image of the lens and camera. Just a couple of rig pics would suffice.

Said I'd join this board so here goes.
So, here's what I've been up to in the pictures: -7D body w/ 70-200mm Sigma -Zacuto Z-Finder -Rode NTG-3 Mic hooked into Zoom H4n via XLR -Headphone splitter to feed audio from Zoom to headphones and into the camera for reference audio (still need to figure out how to get this working ALL the time) -And my favorite, Genus GMB/A rod system w/ cinevate universal rod mount for the Zoom (+$2.60 in Ace Hardware trinkets) I actually put the rod system on backwards, so instead of supporting the lens, it acts as a mount for the Zoom and other equipment. I've also found that if I mount the camera slightly off-axis to the Genus plate, I'm able to use the rods as a shoulder mount while still being able to see through the Z-Finder. I have 4 points of contact that way: hand on lens, hand on body, Z-Finder on eye and rods on shoulder (just like Zacuto says we should do it!). It works rather well in my opinion, as it gets rid of the jitters apparent in non-IS lenses. And, if I stop my heart for a few seconds I can actually get some steady shots with the 200mm zoom :) Tripod is a bit weak for this setup: it's a stand-in as my proper one is in the car. I've yet to try the mounted blimp... |

This is my simple DIY steady bar which I'm finding I'm leaving on all the time. Aslo a DIY loupe.

lookin good boys!!
also on the discussion end...the "LCDVF" magnetic viewfinder is great....i used double sided 3m grey tape and use a very sharp knife to make it exact like it came, took off the coating and used that, much stronger... goes on and off... also for those who are going cavision, its a great setup! |

Cool thread!
I guess there are as many ways to build your rig as there are people to build them. Here's mine. It's DIY and a lot of tweaking and refining to get it to this point. Made mostly out of aluminum with some stainless steel bits. The Viewfinder is DIY as well. It's part aluminum and acrylic. The whole thing sits on my shoulder hands free. |

Here's one I posted a while back, though there have been a few changes with the advent of Magic Lantern.

Keep posting pics guys:) |
Looks comfortable but don't those front and back brackets limit range of motion a lot? How's packing it up for transport?
