GH2 Rig Recommendations

Hi,

I am looking to buy a rig for my GH2 (baseplate, matte box, follow focus etc), but I am not sure what baseplate to get?
Would any baseplate work on the GH2? What I'm worried about is whether the lens would be high enough to fit inside a matte box. What I'm considering at the moment is a Lanparte Baseplate.
Either:

Or:

I have been looking at a Proaim and a Lanparte mattebox as well as the Trusmt and the Lanparte FF.

What do you guys have of experiences with baseplates, matteboxes and rails?
All help is much appreciated

Thanks
Birk
 
Are you against a cage? I have the Photography & Cinema GearBox with rails adapter. I've combined this with Kamerar Matte box and FF. i have a quick release plate in the cage. the GH2 fits in the cage without needed the extensions. Lens is centered in the matte box, which is also height adjustable.

You can get either P&C or Kamerar cage for about same price of those baseplate...
