Review on πŸŽ₯ FILMCITY Shoulder Rig Kit for Cinema Camera / Production Camera 4k (FC-05) with BMCC Cage Rig, Matte Box, and Follow Focus Accessories by Brian Page

Revainrating 3 out of 5

worth $250? I don't know but it's pretty decent

I shoot a story about 3-4 times a week. I've had it for about 2 months now and my biggest issue with this thing is the screws. They don't fit the typical hex wrenches that most people have. I had to go to the hardware store and they really struggled to find the right size. And the odd length screws themselves, the only ones I could find, were too long so I had to tighten them. So if you ever lose one of the screws or the included Allen key, get ready to go crazy. I have no idea why they have these screws that will not fit in any cinema equipment, not even anything ever made to spec. The other is the handles. Sometimes they kind of slip, but just a little bit. Not much, and it's definitely not that big of a deal, but it's worth mentioning. After a while, the pauldrons start to hurt, but any pauldrons are if you wear them for too long. In addition, it's really durable and a pretty good shoulder pad. . Like follow focus and steering wheel. Mattebox is pretty decent. I don't know if it's worth $250. I think they should be around $75 but hey. There are no instructions either. Very strange.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
