Looking for a cage for my GH2, or possibly a shoulder brace depending on what you have. I love the camera, but want a little more protection/bulk for it. I also may end up getting a follow focus system, so if you have rails, that may be an added bonus.
 
Brandon,

Check out the GearBox GB3 at www.photographyandcinema.com

I believe the price is $137 for the cage, rails and rail adapter, and top carry handle. The grips are just widely enough spaced to provide quite a bit of stability hand held with some practice. The weight is fairly light and it is very flexible in the range of cameras it will accommodate.

I have the GB1 (the basic cage without rails or adapter), with a Manfrotto 577 quick release adapter mounted on the top of the bottom plate so with 501PL plates I can go from the cage to Manfrotto 501 or 701 head on tripod in seconds. I use an Olympus OMD E-M5 (similar in size and weight to the GH2) with it, have had a GH3 in it, and one of the videos on the GB series page shows a Canon 5D MkII fitted in it.

An amazing piece of gear for the price. Be sure and watch both videos on it.
 
Bruce:

I know you've used the lumix 20mm F/1.7 in the past.

How have you dealt with manual focus with that lens?
Any recommended methods?

Thanks!

Steve
