DIY shoulder rig parts help

[cosbovfx]

I am in the process of building a shoulder rig for my hmc150, I bought the 15mm carbon steel rods from Mcmaster carr, (which work very well with my Cavision matte box). I am now in need of a way to connect the pieces together. I am trying to build a rig similar to this one http://www.danielschweinert.com/blog/files/tag-camera.html He used parts from this German company https://www.berner-straller-shop.de...TIKEL&p_KAT_ID=33&CFID=20212&CFTOKEN=43339669 I would really like to find a US equivalent store. Do any of you know a supplier that would have something similar. The part numbers on German site are.

nlm29022
nlm29034

Any help would be appreciated

You need something along these lines I think http://search.newport.com/i/1/x1/pa...sories/x2/section/x3/chapter/x4/family/nav/1/. I thought grainger had post clamps similar to what you posted but for some reason I can't find them by searching.

I made a very similar rig but the rods are about 10mm not 15 and the distance apart is not the industry standard so mounting to it takes some more work. Anything thats built to mount directly to rails doesnt fit so i have to mount it in various other ways.

All in all the rig was a breeze to throw together and works fairly well.

Yeah, these are looking good, I wonder if the 16mm could possibly work. Thanks alot for the help.

This is mine, the "johan-dslr-shoulder rig" A 15mm rod matte box fits, but i i had to drill holes for extra screws.

These aren't too expensive, especially if you just need a couple of sets and plan to reuse components modular style. You can even pick up a few, then add more as needed.
