Is there a guide to building a rod based shoulder mount for cheap?

[Jacoolh]

I mean by also buying all the pieces separately from cheap places.

Hey Jacoolh,

Just built this one. I don't like the Cinema5d one personally. Looks like you need too many specialized machines; not everyone has a disc sander at home . I modified his design by using all 15mm copper piping (just so happens this is industry standard for film and plumbing hahaha). I figured I might want to make some futher modifications to add my follow focus to the rig...

I have industry standard 15mm carbon fiber rods. Best prices anywhere around. Please check our EBay listings.
