I am looking for a budget cage or shoulder rig with trip ability.

Amazon has been my only home for quite a while so maybe I am missing the boat.

I have looked at these:

and

I am looking for something that I can have on the tripod and be able to take off and shoot with on the fly. Both of these "styles" work for me but I like the lower priceline for sure.

If you've used or seen these or have suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
 
Thanks WG. Thats nice looking hardware.

I may try cheesycams DIY cage. He makes it look really nice when finished and being all metal is a plus.

But in all likelihood, I'll try it then since it will be ugly as dirt, I will buy something.

Here's the Shoot35 baseplate mounted to a Libec head with the Westside AV nano mount and shoulder brace. Baseplate is nicely machined and service was good - 3 days between ordering and delivery from UK to Pacific North West. Rods are long enough to support FF and lens support.

I've still to source the follow focus. I'm leaning towards the Sidekick friction FF.
