Just picked up a killer shoulder mount

After FX Guru
I was after a shoulder rig that was quick to use and solid, more like a traditional shoulder mount cam (no springs, etc). The DVrigPro is a great rig, just didn't fit my needs this time around (overseas run & gun).

The pics are poor, I took them with my cell phone...

Kai,
Very cool setup! I'm still working on all the accessories so I can look as cool! Man some of the setups I've seen on here make me feel like an amature! Very impressive!

Re: Just picked up a killer shoulder mount

Kai, from where did you get the nice eyepiece chamois?
They are very hard to get here in Germany (but we have better prices for Chrosziel equipment :D)

Great...This thread's going to turn into who's got the biggest.
 
Re: Just picked up a killer shoulder mount

kai,

so how do you like it during long shoots? how is the balancing of the shoulder mount considering how front heavy the dvx gets w/ the follow focus? thanks.
 
Re: Just picked up a killer shoulder mount

The eyepiece chamois is from Filmtools.com About 6 bucks or so (US). Great to have on there and oh so soft.

Boo- Haven't really had a chance to use it on a long shoot yet, first time will be on this round-the-world run & gun trip i'm taking this Friday. I'll post my results with the thing. The balancing is obviously pretty front heavy. I really got it to provide more stability because the camera loaded with all the accessories is too heavy to hold by just the handstrap ha. It's really pretty stable and should work out pretty well.
 
Re: Just picked up a killer shoulder mount

Kai- did you have to glue your chamois onto the eye piece like jarred did? I'm interested in getting one, but glue/ liquid cement makes me nervous. :-/
 
Re: Just picked up a killer shoulder mount

I got the XL1 eyepiece from Filmtools and it works great.

I used super glue on mine. I believe Jarred used rubber cement.
 
Re: Just picked up a killer shoulder mount

i didn't glue mine at all... just slipped right on and has stayed on so far.

What the hell? How? Mine was a pain to get on? What size did you get?
