DSLR shoulder rig with Bracket for led light

[Norman99]

I have seen almost all shoulder rigs but none that have provision to place a led light on other than the camera's hot shoe. What I am specifically looking for is a shoulder bracket that has a kind of C bracket ( preferably adjustable up-down ) that goes half way around the camera with a few shoes to attach a shotgun, video light, etc to it. This way it eliminates the strain on the camera's shoe.

I suggest checking out the 'Opteka CX 1' shoulder rig. I use it all the time, for all sorts of video shoots. It has the option to attach two flash or c brackets either side, which can hold video lights or microphones. I attached a flash bracket with a camera grip to make an extra handle for better stability.

This is a video I shot ages ago using the shoulder rig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osqGq1KwM68

Yes, I already have that Opteka bracket, paid 100 bucks for it. Nice and well made for the price BUT I need a bar or C bracket or for another description a sideways U bracket that bolts undernesth the camera ( preferably the rig) and has 2 hot or rather cold shoes that will allow placement of a microphone and a LED video light. The LED video light must be mounted DIRECTLY in-line with the lens. I feel that nothing should be attached to the camera's hot shoe directly unless it is light and will not cause undue stress to it, like a mic. The bracket I am looking for must rise about an inch above the camera's shoe, must clear the camera's side about an inch and must be made of black anodized aluminum. It would also be nice if the vertical side of the bracket has a few 1/4 X 20 treaded holes in it so as to place other shoes to it for whatever. I am surprised no one has thought of that. Perhaps one exists, but where ?
