📷 FILMCITY DSLR Camera Shoulder Support Rig Kit with Cage & Matte Box: Enhance Stability and Control for DV HDV DSLR Video Camcorders – Includes Free Offset Z Bracket (FC-02) Review

For the price it's great. It's mostly plastic, but unless you're using a very heavy camera and accessories I don't see that as a problem. The grips on the front tend to move back and forth, but as long as you're not pointing the camera straight down, it's not that big of a deal. The matte box is actually quite nice, it's amazing to get metal flags in a set for less than $200. I'm not a fan of "monk's panties" that connect the matte box to the lens. It's really stiff and difficult to keep from…

Delivery within 3 days of order. I was completely surprised since it arrived in the US from overseas. Everything was packaged very nicely, the assembly instructions are easy and this assembly is worth it! A good thing that you can change to your liking. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to add a starter rig to their collection. It also looks very impressive. The hues are metallic and everything is held very securely in the setup. I'm using a Canon 70D and I have EASY access to the…

Pros: - Multitasking - So many accessories included - You can separate it to make it easier - It's red, not damn blue (if you arrange it well, people might even think that you there's a RED camera on it) - it's very stable - looks very charming, you can impress the girls with it (trust me, they'll ask you what that is and abl abla) - it looks super professional (I have to be honest be you everyone actually asks you what it is on your shoulder not just girls) - It's stable - You can mount your…

Trick. Still, it's not perfect and you get what you pay for when it comes to camera hardware. Shipping from India was incredibly fast, arriving in less than a week. I ran into a few minor issues when assembling the setup as some of the metal bars could not easily fit into the plastic brackets, most likely due to issues with the molds for them. When I finally got everything assembled I was very impressed with how professional it looked and excited to put my camera inside. A word of advice: this…

I really like this setup. easy to assemble and convenient to use. The kit I bought did not include a focus ring adapter and I didn't realize at the time how much I wish I could pay a little more to get one. But that's definitely not a deal breaker. Just something beautiful. The only problem I have is that the angles of the "C" shaped bracket aren't quite right. I mean if you look at the product picture. The bracket holds the handle on top and then connects to the base. My top is not parallel to

I've had $2,000 units that just can't match the power, flexibility and rugged design of this unit. I will be adding four more to our production inventory, they are that good. I can connect my DSLR to ARRI Alexa. Flexibility is not to be found. I use the setup on a SteadiCam (photos), 40ft camera stock, tripod and because the grip is very strong we can swim freely too. You may think that the shipping cost is a bit high, but it reached me in three (except Sunday) days. I ordered it on Friday at…

After using this device for over a year, I have updated my review: Everything is fine. However, there are some serious problems: 1. It consists almost entirely of plastic. A few months ago I accidentally dropped the counterweight and it (the plastic holding it) broke into 5 pieces. The plastic parts of the rails also don't stick well to the metal rails - often this causes the rail to "spin" when attempting to use the rig. Forget about using shoulder grips with no modifications so they don't…

Great place to start. Amazing value for what you get. Let me start with the positive.1. counterweight. Most cheap rigs don't include it and they are expensive.2. Matte Box: not the best, but works in a pinch.3. the processing is fine and it breaks the little things i added.1. Fotga follow the focus.2. Teleprompter for iPad (Walking with a teleprompter is tricky! but if you can detach it, great, otherwise mount it on a slider or tripod.) 3. Inexpensive remote start/stop for the camera. What I…
