Hey guys, aparently Indie Systems is the answer, thoug there are way to many complaints about this company actually shipping what they sell... and i cant afford to wait on "Tim" guy almost everyone complains about, I even emailed and never got the answer, all I needed to know was the actual shipping time to wait.

so I need something like the compact ultra and the Indie focus, there was a guy from India who posted his version of a rig, thoug i havent seen much about his solution and very little testimonials,

Also there are Cavision products that are cheap and look okay but... their followfocus is expensive and it takes 3 to 6 weeks to have it shipped from b&h.

I cant spend $$ on micro solutions, their prices are retarded, its just clamps and rods no NASA science behind it. I dont want to do a DIY because i need something reliable.

Anyone have suggestions? webstores... that sell an actual working product that can be shipped fast and realiably...

Thanks DVXUSERS!
 
Still waiting for mine, will prob put up some kind of review later. Stuff from India usually takes 2-3 weeks to Europe, I'm guessing longer to Guatemala (?)

My previous India products isn't exactly great... shoulder rig broke off (in the actual cast, not a joint) and my "fly cam" hade some minor faults that I had to fix. The principle of these products is, unfortunately, to give a "pro" look and not so much quality.

Should mention that I've never had any additional costume fees with "cinecity" (and it's many ebay forms). So that's good. But yeah, I'm gessing the rails/mattebox kit will work just fine, but I wouldn't pick up their follow focus if I were you, prob just sloppy and overall of bad quality... judging from my prev "cinecity" products I feel fairly confident that their follow focus is a waste of money.

Proaim is okay, you get what you pay for, if you only have certain budget to spend and you want everything, go for Proaim, but don't expect the quality too much, but will works fine.

I have RR focus, and I don't really like it, it's too bulky and heavy. If I want to buy one now, I'll go with Cavision.
 
Got my "rig" form India today. One of the front rings was broken, spent 4-5 hours making some changes to the rig, screws and the plastic parts sucks, but the baseplate is actually quite nice. The flaws that are there were expected, have bought stuff from these guys before so I was indeed a bit worried about the base plate, but it seems they have "stepped up their game" a bit in quality. But the stuff that is made of plastic you should HANDLE WITH CARE, you get what you pay for...

(Put a Manfrotto support backwards, perfect balance and some more quality feel to it, lol).
