Superb new shoulder mount. Best yet

Phil, those curved rods that hold up the camera look very tiny compared to the weight that they will be carrying. Do they bend or flex at all?
 
Thanks, Philip! I just blooming ordered one.

Hey Philip, can you recommend a good handheld steadicam-like stabilizer for the EX1? I won't be using a vest or anything, I just want to walk in the woods with one. Gracias for your time... you're THE EX1 resource guy.
 
Hi Buck

I guess if you are going without a vest then it would be the Merlin with the new Gimbal. Using others without a vest would be very heavy
 
Can you actually walk around with this mount and get a steady picture, or is it really for just standing in one spot?

Well it isn't steadicam so no, but it is as steady as you would be with a full sized camera, maybe steadier due to the adjustments and flexibility of it. So walk around freely!

The weight limit is 7 pounds so I would say don't use a 35mm adaptor with it unless it is a Brevis sans flip as it is very light.
 
Not bad... but I really love my Cavision shoulder mount. Very adjustable for different situations...and I can "grow" it as I add a 35mm adapter. I have four contact points for steadiness ( 2hands, shoulder, eye piece)...Best of all, it was only about $250 !
 
Does this thing have a problem with the left lean of the EX1? Can the shoulder pad be put on the left shoulder like other devices?
 
Cinecity makes some nice gear - good price too (O.K. the first 35mm adapter was crap - didn´t tried the new version)

I got the "Indicator Magic Arm & Vest + Flycam 6000 " Steady-System, blimp, railsystem andwhatnot. Nice affordable stuff.

Phillip-

Have you used the DV Rig Pro? If so, how does this Cinecity shoulder support compare? I realize it's a very different price point, but I'm still curious as to how they stack up in your opinion.

The DV rig pro is much more heavy duty and more expensive. It requires you to put on a belt and half a pole. The Cine city one is quick and easy to use and is cheap. It also works really wel

Is there a quick way to go from the Cinecity to a tripod? I haven't figured out an elegant way to do that with the DV Rig Pro.

Thanks in advance. Your information and answers are always top notch.
 
yep. same as with dv rig pro. Get manfrotto plate and base kit, the size used by dv rig, cant remember the model number, am assuming you dont have a manfrotto tripod, attach your tripod plate to the bottom of the manfrotto base. Attach the manfrotto plate to bottom of your camera. this will fit both the dv rig pro and your tripod so it will just slide on and off. If doing with cine city rig, you will need a second manfrotto plate to scew onto the top of it.
