I've seen tons of these fairly cheap chinese made zacuto/red rock rip offs on eBay for a while now. There are a ton of these out there though..what is the cheapest decent solution for a basic 15mm lw shoulder mount that will also mount on a tripod?

I already have some steel 15mm rods of various lengths and couple zacuto 90 degree rod clamps. Can probably rig up a counter weight myself unless it's super cheap. Suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!
 
I have a bought 2 shoulder rigs/parts off Ebay. The first one I bought I really like, all aluminum construction, very sturdy. The second one I bought consisted off rods and a long lens support made from plastic, looked good in the picture but turned out to be total crap. So My advice is buy aluminum only, stay far away from anything that has plastic in it, especially plastic rods.

I don't see the rig I bought on Ebay anymore but this one is kind of close to it for $190.

Looks decent and all aluminum.

Here is a tripod/camera mount with rods for $72

If you want to spend a little more search for "Lanparte". That stuff looks like very good quality.

This is the best quick release tripod mount I have found on Ebay from Lanparte again.

Those are a few items that caught my eye on Ebay that looked decent. Hopefully this helps.
