Lens support at DVinfo.net

Hi all, I need some advise, I have an xl1's and use the canon EF adapter to enable me to use SLR lenses, what lens support would be the best to use, I am going away filing next week so as a temporary measure I got a manfrotto 293, which does the job ok, long term I have been looking at Mike tappa's lens support system, Any other options?
Also what I have noticed is that when using the EF adapter it sets the slr lense slightly to the right, which makes the support sit at an angle, will this be a problem even with Mike tappas support system? can I get a straight through lens adapter (ie: not canon EF) just purely an adapter with no glass in it?

Hope that all makes sense, any help would be great thanks
