Anyone use a DVRigPro with a Redrock M2?

So there it is. I wish I had someone who could take a picture of me with it on. I'd still trying to fix some parts. The power adapter was wired wrong and blew out my wireless adapter. But I only paid $30 for it, and just found a better one on Ebay for $40. Still trying to figure out how to mount the battery adapter. Also, the system is pretty heavy on the front and right side due to the M2 and the Marshall. I need to workout the weight issues. But I have found the Firestore is best where it is, so I can see that it is recording.
 
... J... I gotta have that monitor dead in my face, so I've got mine mounted where your Firestore is.... Does it feel weird with it all the way out there?
 
I did a test last night and used the M2 on the DV Rig Pro. Also I shot a music video a year ago with the Mini-35 and the DV Rig Pro - came out nice . I am using a magnet on the lcd to flip the screen and with this trick you have to keep the lcd looking up a little so I have the arm bent slightly - the shots are looking pretty steady - I'll post a picture of the setup tonight (another false promise, Danny?).

With the Mini 35 and the DV Rig Pro it went perfectly fine and I am going to assume it will be just as good with the M2.
 
I own both and have been using the HVX/M2/DVRigpro on a feature I'm shooting. I put the baseplate mount on the other bar, faced it forward, and secured it using a headless screw. It was definitely gerry-rigged, but its solid. The weight including all that and a HD Marshall monitor was around 20 lb. so I went to home depot and bought additional springs that fit over the outside of the suspension rod. This just about balances the whole getup.
I will try to get a picture of it, but I haven't been the once taking the production stills.
 
konton,
I bought an external 9V DVD battery that I mounted to the side of my M2 to power it, but I saw a guy who just took the 9V holder out of the M2 box and mounted it to the side for easy battery replacement - smart.
 
konotn how hard is it to pull focus with this set up? does it get too heavy or is it working out for you?
