Inexpensive Options for Shoulder/Handgrip Rigs

I really like my "Gini Rig". I got an extra gizmo that I couldn't find any use for (I *think* it's for stabilizing big zoom lenses...but I don't know) so I used it to make an accessory plate. I have it covered with velcro hooks on one side and the velcro fuzz on the other. I can stick it in several places on the rig but I like it over my right hand grip. It's perfect for holding the wireless mic receivers in a one man show.

I'm new here and just learning. I just got a 7D, This is a great froum, and I'm looking forward to watching the growth happen. Just curious, but it seems to me that the video seems soft overall. Do you feel the same?

$265 right w/ shipping... please tell me you didn't get it for $200 including shipping or my stomach will be soar and my heart jealous lol

Does it balance well? Do you need to add counter weight to the back? Can a follow focus be attached to this rig? I wish someone would make a FAQ about this rig, it seems to be VERY popular.
 
Hey, already posted in the gini thread on the gh1 forum but thought id spread the word of this great product.

Got my gini package today, had almost forgot about it since i placed the order the 13th if i recollect correctly. Won this auction for 225$ and added 2 pairs of 10cm rods for 12$ a pair which brought me to a total of 300$ delivered to my door.

As for the product, this stuff is awesome quality nothing to complain about, when you lock something it stays solid and locked in place.

Snapped a shot of the parts fresh out of the bubble-wrap as well as a quick configuration i made which actually works stunningly with 4 points of contact.

The Ebay listing didn't include the 4th contact, was that just a surprise?

I just bought this one:

Well, if a monitor and a rail can be next to each other, i think a FF mounted on the rail + a matte box should be fine.
 
I can't find any good deals on a gini rig, they're all from the seller's store at inflated Buy it Now prices. Does anyone know where else I could buy it?
 
I'm digging that BushHawk gun stock. You put a small rail on top of that thing and you can run and gun...(no pun intended).
