Review on πŸ“· 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) by James Edwards

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The best setup I've seen in 40 years of filmmaking.

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 1:00 am and received it on Monday at 9:00 am. Monday was Presidents Day. Seriously, I'm ordering four more units, so I've got five. I rent or rent one unit, the others are fully equipped with cameras for my production company. In addition to all setup options, they even include a low mode for cameras with a grip to either install the included grip or simply mount lights or mics. I cannot recommend this device more highly. You must have this for your production cameras. What you see in the SteadiCam installation photos.
