I just came across this device:
http://www.b-hague.co.uk/canon_eos_5d_mark_ii_lumix_gh1_camera_support.htm
It looks great to me. And it's cheap too. I currently mostly use a Manfrotto Fig Rig when doing weddings, but it's a bit too large and clumsy, and I can't attach my monitor to it.
This Camframe actually looks like a much better shape (rectangle vs circular) and has shoe mounts on top to place monitors and such. Also, you can mount a baseplate under it so it can be used directly on a tripod.
What's not to like? Well, just curious if anyone ever held them and know if it's any good. It's kinda cheap so... Almost too good to be true.
Any downsides that I'm overlooking? Why would this be worse than a circular Fig Rig for instance?
