DSLR Rigs

[Chris Y]

Having taken the bull by the horns I am progressing more into video.

Up to now it's been all handheld/ tripod and whilst I've managed to get some decent content, I'm looking at investing in a shoulder rig.

Ideally an offset type with a decent focus puller. I've a 1DX & 5DIII, various L's.

This seems to be the one I'm coming back to but I'd rather buy nice than twice over some variants of you know what I mean.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

I have a lanparte follow focus and base plate with rails and V-Lock battery plate, although not the shoulder mount system. The quality is very good, I tried a few at various shows and of the non-premium bras theirs stuff was very well put together.

I purchased the film city shoulder mount rig with matte box i mean its still being delivered but from the reveiws i read its a solid build for the price and sturdy and the rails are universal meaning that you can add follow focus etc...

Cheers. I ended up a while back going for a Fotga rig and basically built the parts up, upgrading a few bits like the focus pull, arms and matte box.
The build is pretty good for the £.
