Hey
I'm looking to buy a shoulder rig for the C100. Ideally I'd want something that is partly 'future proof' as sooner or later I'll be moving on to another camera. Any opinions on this? I run a Ninja 2 off my camera and I'm also looking at a Zacuto EVF and a Follow Focus. I want something that I can set up fairly quickly and is well balanced and comfortable on my shoulder.

Thanks!

I am a wedding videographer and for past two years I am using Gini rigs, I had never had a problem and the rig looks like new and I am working a lot! You can check out my Bio section in my website for more pictures and setup. I will be more than happy to assist you with your questions.
 
Thanks!

I actually have access to a gini rig this weekend for a shoot. I've been playing around with it but I find that I can't get things tight enough! The follow focus keeps falling away from the camera and the handles and shoulder mount keep moving around. ANy tips?

I do not use follow focus because I need to change lenses, being light as possible because I am shooting for 7-8 hours with the rig on me and I like that my left hand makes another support point , so I use my bare hands and I just love it that way. If you need very precise focus tracking you will need follow focus. My rig is super tight!
