Hi, I need a shoulder mount for my 5DmkII, something light that I can carry and use for several hours straight without straining my arm and shoulder too much.
I'm considering these two products by Dvtec, the Multirig pro and the Dslr Extreme standard: the first seems more versatile and would allow me to keep one hand free, sparing me the purchase of a follow focus, but putting all the strain on the arm; the second seems to put that weight on the shoulder instead, avoiding arm strain and allowing (I think) me to film for longer without discomfort, but it would force me to buy a follow focus (talking about it, is it compatible with D\focus?),
then I have the impression (I've read this site's review) it would be quite unbalanced if hold only by one hand...
Considering my needs (as told, following and filfimg a music band in the streets for several hours straight) and my limited budget, what model would you suggest?
What's your experience on the field with these models?
Thanks!

but indifocus has a lot of shoulder mounts that are decently priced. He recently came out with the ULTRAcompact which I'm dying to have. But if your looking for something longer you could always get something like their dslr sm.
