so i finally got it in
I have to say that Tim (i believe was his name) is most likely one of the best individual sellers i have ever dealt with. He responded to my emails quickly, and even shipped this to me EXPRESS mail!!!! Its hard enough to get someone to ship to APO to begin with (cough REDROCK cough) but this guy pulled through and amazed me 110%.
anyways, on to the rig itself.
It looks a bit different from the phtos online, im guessing they updated it, for the best 100%
Instead of terminating at the rear shoulder pad, it now is a pad mounted to a rod. So i can adjust the axis of the pad (which i did, a little inwards to my neck) along with horizontal position, and you can angle the rig itself where it meets the main rails.

Uses a gitios (spelling?) quick release mount, seems to be of good construction IMO. All the quick releases allow you to pull up, and turn to reposition the placement of the extended part (the part you have leverage on to turn it)
the handles are pretty cool. ive found a few very comfortable positions, and will test out which ones are most comfy this weekend. it has a LARGE amount of adjust-ability for sure, and all metal rods except for the main pair of carbons.
Also has a counterweight on the rear of hte shoulder pad, that appears to be able to be expanded upon with tapped screw holes (will be calling tonight about extras!) it is a tad front heavy, but with one or two more counterweights, it will even out even after a matte box.
Also the camera mount, where the quick release is mounted is vertically adjustable. you loosen a set screw, and it slides up and down (thumb turn screw) so you can fine tune the height to meet your eye, or if you have a battery grip, it can mount on here as well with no problem. quick release plate also allows battery door opening while installed, a great perk. there is a tapped hole on the bottom to mount a quick release plate for tripod use, or whatever use.
overall, im pretty happy with it. its solid, pretty configurable. all i need to finish it is an LCD mount, and carry handle (essom?)
here are some more picshures, which i will update once its not 8 pm and dark as hell outside.

Yep, super awesome price to me. I honestly cant afford, nor justify a 1,000 shoulder rig alone. so i took a gamble on the indifocus rig, and it paid off to me. im happy with it for sure
 
Guess the FF would have to be purchased separately huh? But the box and lcd viewer is included? It doesn't give much information. And this seems better than the zacuto look alike rig from korea for sale on ebay. Cant find a link to it though
 
the shulder mount is only the mount
i bought the follow focus, and hoodman loupe separate
the ebay guy just knocks zacutos stuff pretty much

id rather support an american company, as i am such
 
The first look, I thought everything would cost $400. But after adding everything thats needed/in the picture, total came to 980.75 USD. LOL
 
The indifocus is awsome.... Here is my set up.. I had the Follow focus Pro and the Matte box added anothe 600 bucks but well worth it

by the way thats the Lilliput Not Ikan but all the Ikan Stuff Fits like a Glove. Ikan battery adapter and sunhood

if you guys want excatly what is in my pic, Minus the EBAY noga Arm MOD and the Battery adapter just Ask Tim to email you the RAil PRO price.. Usualy cheaper than Piecing it together,,
 
man i want that top bracket!

ill be ordering the mattebox with flags soon. just ordered the indilisder this morning
im mounting my monitor right abotu where you did too
 
You might want to Mount the Monitor slightly FWD if you want to carry it when shoulder mounted, the position I have it in is more for tripod
 
Also One thing to Note on this rig is that it adds weight , After all is mounted it is heavy for long periods of time but that is good for steady shooting
 
its going about an inch behind the camera body. and i can move the body forward a tad to make room

i do need to pick up a quick release for the tripod, but its kinda difficult to find someone to ship to APO for just he Qassy. i guess i can ask tim if he has any i can buy
 
wow, i have the indirailspro XVsm, but problem is the shoulder mount is not offset, i wonder how much he would charge for a rod, and a couple clamps to offset the shoulder?

Or should i just use one of the rail clamps to offset it and cut my rails?

(my rails are 24") i was thinking making a 14" front section, and a 10" back section.

(front section would have the handles, and camera plate, back section would connect by a rail connector grip thingy, and have hte shoulder piece, and one extra mounting connector probably for my h4n)

My question, is will one of those rail connectors be able to hold the two pieces together if they are only attatched to one rail each?

heres my rig now, but the fact that the camera is not offset means i have to crank my neck to the left to see the screen.
 
Looks like he changed the shoulder mount eh? That's good because I have one and the shoulder piece is a DISASTER. I never use it. That piece of aluminum is just bouncy as hell.
