7D DIY Shoulder Support

[Pittsburgh0205]

I recently just purchased my 7d and after viewing this thread, I decided to make one of those pvc supports.

Here is what I shot with it.

Looks good. I havent seen very much test footage wit this yet. My one concern is how everything tends to lean because its a single rod on one shoulder. Did you notice a lot of problems with that? I feel if you could still have two handles it would be more effective.

Thanks,

Yeah I definitely agree with you that everything does tend to lean with the single line rod, but i didnt really have to much problem with the one I built.
I'll be building a two handle support very soon and I'll be sure to compare the two.

That may be, but for me its alot more comfortable to have it on a shoulder support and it makes focusings easier for me.
