Bought Cavision Shoulder Mount, 7D Is Too Close, Help!

[Faymus Media]

i just bought this:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...580D_SPE_RS1580D_SPE_Shoulder_Pad_System.html

i need follow focus to fit, and the lense keeps hitting the top pin that locks the handles and with the shoulder mount flush the camera is just to low to look through the "lcdvf" magnetic viewfinder that i bought

will this work? is there a cheaper way? like if i buy the baseplate for 30 dollars where can i buy the part that mounts it to the one on the shoulder mount?

i just found this, is this the piece that holds that 30 dollar mounting plate for adjustable rise?

The link says for "ENG" so I´d say, no.
But why don´t you just write to the Cavision customer support and ask them what parts you need for the 7D to fit properly...?

to close to your face or to low?

Perhaps a photo of your problem will help us help you.

when i put the shoulder mount on my shoulder the camera is firmly on the mount plate....it sits about neck level...which is about 3 inchs too low.... and the lense hits the front screw....all i need is to raise the plate 3 inches

i will take a pic tonight

I got the same shoulder support,i use battery grip with 7d that lifts the camera to proper hight for me.
