I can honestly say I'm very glad I took it. There are a few minor flaws such as the adjustment screws in places that are really difficult to adjust without taking the rig apart and I don't have muscular fingers. It's also a good setup for "beginners". I shoot with the T4i (650D) and I feel safe, reliable and have absolutely no wobble in the setup. (Note: I had to remove the battery grip to hold the matte box as the camera is too big and the matte box doesn't slide high enough). I believe there are 2 models depending on which rig you choose. Since there is no counterweight at the back, it feels a bit heavy at the front. It doesn't matter, but I attached some of my extra weights to the back of the shoulder pad. Matte box is everything. The bottom buttons are fine too, but they need a good tightening to stay in place. Top handle is the main thing. In summary, this setup works great once built, but setting up things like follow focus on the fly is pretty tricky. Finally, remember that there are no instructions included. There aren't really many parts, but putting them together for the first time isn't the most intuitive process. Have fun :)
