Looking at including one of these in my f3 purchase. Anyone using either of these.

Element Technica F3 Riser or Shape bp 700
 
I am very happy with my BP6000. I choose it over the ET because of the arms. The 6000 was designed around the F3 where as the 7000 is a little more universal. If you want to make an offer for my 6000 you could save a few bucks and I would upgrade to the 7000.
 
I purchased the BP 7000 at NAB, and am generally pleased. The 7000 is an adjustable version of the 6000, but the vertical range is quite small. Plenty of forward and back adjustment with the 7000 due to the groves in the full length of the baseplate. Just enough vertical room for my Alura lens, (had a bit more flexibility with my Zacuto baseplate. The shoulder mount feature is very nice, however, you do have to remove the pad (velcro) to engage the tripod adapter plate properly. Also, I find the shoulder pad is not thick enough to properly set the camera level (yaw) on my shoulder (could be me). Otherwise, I'm happy with the purchase.
