and which kind of rails are those? I don't think i've seen that Raiser before. Looks good. How do you find the Cavision Shoulder mount? It looks like all the weight would be on your arms where it is. Have you considered adding weight to it to balance it out?

how do you like working with the indislider?

Hi, the Matte box costed $160 in Ebay, it's plastic, rotating stages.

The raiser is just a combination of 2 rods systems fixed with 2 Cavision lens supports link
The cavision shoulder mount is solid, but not so confortable.
Yes, the weight is totally unbalanced. As soon as i get a monitor to attach to the front side of the rods, i will move the shoulder under the camera instead of having it behind the camera just to be able to see the built in LCD

how do you like working with the indislider?

The Indislider is not the best dolly out there, but it's a buck for the space. I can do small movements without hiring an assistent + dolly. It's an amazingly smart concept.

I've decided to mimic your set up.

Does the indislider pan smoothly?

 

[pernell91]

do you use something other than the on-camera viewfinder / lcd to ensure focus?

What Tripod head do you have?
