Shoulder support for DVX/XHA1 with SGpro

Yes. "Pimp-my-cam" threads! That'd be a great contest. Who has the most pimped out camera... you'd have to limit/judge it to/by specific cameras. (Wouldn't want a RED user winning right of the bat)! Then the winner would get a free trip to NAB or something like that. Everything considered, 35mm DOFA, lenses, shoulder mounts, rails, follow focus, matteboxes, etc. etc. etc.

Do you have to modify the output, or is it simple wireing?
Are you driving everything on the rig from the gel battery?

It's just wiring so far... But these days I am working on a converter box that allows me to run the whole rig (marshall lcd, hvx, m2 adapter and even a small 2,5" harddrive to dump footage) with the battery

About Zacuto, considering the handgrips alone are already 750$, and since my maximum budget is 500$, I doubt he'll give me that much of a discount..

Hm,
I use the MultiRig with the SGpro, it is OK for adapter work (with a plain HVX it works like a charm...) and sub 500$...
You might also want to check the other rigs from DVtec...
 
Are the cavision extended grips and shoulder pad better in your opinion or not? It is a bit cheaper though no counterweight.
 
I've seen people with their own counterbalances. Velcroed on even. I think you just have to pick... quality or counterbalances.

The shoulder pat must be better, since the MultiRig doesn´t have one - this is also the weak point of the Multirig IMHO, but it´s all about size with this unit, they have other ones with a soulder pat aswell...

What I like about the MultiRig is the shock absorbing pole supporting the front-heavy setup.

I have that for my M2 setup;

What do you do about monitoring your footage with that setup?
 
I really like that setup.

I am torn between building my support system around my rails like you did, or getting a DVTek PRO HD rig. Once I add all of the pieces (grips, shoulder mount, support pod, etc) it starts to add up to the price of the PRO HD rig.

Also, I wonder if that monitor tends to bounce around being at the end of that arm.

Decisions.....
