Someone just posted on the CML about getting a great deal on a 5DM2 kit and I immediately thought "How much did they pay you to take it?"

Holey cow. I think he wants someone to pay for his new Komodo set up.

Oh, yes. I spent a lot of money on products with those names on them (also Jag35, Cinevate, Letus, Varavon, Shape). I know that some of those are still around, but SmallRig really took over.

check the c300 rig used on Mobius to promote the c300 and 30-300 lens (http://resourcemagonline.com/2012/02/vincent-laforet-the-move-to-filmmaking/2677/)

lol. tilta sitting back, smallrig not even a thing (the Chinese probably knew most of these small players would go under).
I forgot about Letus. Look at Shane Hurlbut's master series promo. It feels like I'm watching a ps1 demo. At 00:30 seconds "man cam"!

I think it might've still been an unfinished version where the buttons aren't labelled or a custom modification (in original article you can see high res image).
The labels look to match the stock original c300 buttons, rather than their own custom hot buttons. I had to look up a picture, I didn't know from memory!

That is hilarious. Assuming that the balance point of this rig was under the top handle, what was the shoulder pad for? Still, I have to hand it to them. The short looked amazing. It still does!
I'm guessing that the blue stickers were the labels for the buttons. It was a pre-production model, after all.

I clicked the link and saw more...thing barely made it out of the factory.
And, yeah - classic I's and II's C-Log1/2. It just screams it. (Especially II's 2 in other videos.)
I swear they are the only cameras of their kind and Canon never made one like them again. IMO, the C200, C300 Mark III, C70, and C700s all have their own look, I guess naturally as they should.

I know I did a foray into SmallRig, was really excited by their interactivity and co-design approach... but wound up going back primarily to Zacuto, Wooden, & Shape as all my SmallRig's crappy metal galled and stripped. I have maybe four low-stress SmallRig pieces left in my rigging kit, all the others have been sold or recycled.
Even some of the ancient plastic CPM rig bits have held up longer
I do admire their ability to quickly put out novel camera-specific solutions to rigging problems. It does help when you leverage customers designing things for you (especially without any royalties paid).

-I spent a lot of money on Red Rock to make my original C300 useable.
-Chrosziel existed way before the dslr/large sensor digital cam revolution.
-Berkey Systems: He builds good stuff. I have his top plate and handles on my F55, still today.
-He who shall not be named…. Lol
rogar-BlackEye(DBG-Zacuto: around before the “revolution’, too. I still have and use some of their stuff designed for broadcast cams and real film gear/accessories.
-Can’t comment on the rest
