I'm looking to assemble a rod-system. I'm looking here (http://www.hysonfilms.com/Products.html) for the rods, and so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a low cost camera plate to use with the rods.
Essentially, my problem is that I don't have much to spend and yet I need several features. I would like a height adjustable plate (like here:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=335222&is=REG&addedTroughType=search)
and I would also need the adjustable support thing - also included with the cavision - for an adapter I'm building. But, at the same time, I'll need rods of around 18" because I'll also be using a mattebox. So I could buy the Cavision and replace the rods, but that just doesn't seem very cost effective. I could also buy something like this:

but it doesn't have the adjustable support for the adapter, etc.
So, basically, is there a place where I can assemble the individual parts I need modularly?
