does the eyecup viewfinder stay up the whole time or can it fold all the way down it looks like it sits against the brace?

if you bend the main shoulder piece right i don't see any reason why you can't make it look like it sits against the rig. remember to size it up when you bend that shoulder piece though. the good thing about this rig is that it's custom :)
 
over the last two days i've sent out a bunch of plans for the rig. but it seems that people aren't getting them. your ISP might block it because i sent it as a attachment in MS WORD format. if you asked for one and didn't get it e-mail me and i'll AIM it to you or something like that. let me know....

-thanks

hey all...

so i was thinking about making some improvements to this shoulder mount and selling them. i was think about $50 plus shipping(but i wouldn't ship the counter weight). would anyone be interested?

the reason i ask... a couple of people have asked me to build one because they're not that good at DIY's
 
Hi There Major
Nice job done, very nice and slick design you are the man!;-)

Yes i'm interested in making one for my use, could u plz help me in the blue prints of its design i mean can u share with me the drawings or plans.
 
Just FYI, but VMajor Films hasn't logged in for almost 6 months, so you might want to look elsewhere for the plans. It seems that he gave them to several people here, and perhaps they still have them.

You might also try this thread, where another user has built essentially the same shoulder mount.
 
already tried that

I have asked for the plans from members here and no one responded so I just assumed that the thread was too old. I ended up figuring out what the parts were anyway.

Sure. When I get home I will see what the parts numbers were. They tended to be all Simpson Strong Tie products.
 
Wow, i didn't expect this...

Wow, i didn't expect this...

Well, I must say that I'm really happy that so many people have asked for my plans. I've got a lot of good feedback on them. I'm sorry that I haven't been on the threads for a while... Productions are very demanding and time consuming. :) anyway, enough of my egotistical bragging. :) I've sent out quite a few plans today. If anyone else needs them or you asked for them and didn't get them. please send me your email and I'll try to get them out ASAP

Thanks again,
Vince
 
Just in case VMajor does not log back in, last activity was 1-31. Can someone please email me the plans? it is my user name. gmail.com
 
Is there anyone who has these plans who could email me? I've pm'd the original poster but have gotten no response.

if anyone could, my email is alexwelgraven (at) gmail (dot) com

i'd really appreciate it. thanks

Hey all,

I was looking at the Verizoom web site and i seen that they had the 1shooter for $129. not bad, but i don't really have alot of money to spend on accessories. so i said to my self "i can make that" what i didn't know was i can make that for less then 35 bucks. i got all the parts from Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and OSH. ( the most expensive parts came from Wal-Mart.) You might be able to save some money if you have the parts lying around the house. check this out, if you want to make your own. PM, E-mail me or post here and i'll GIVE you the parts list and instructions on how to put it all together.

here are some pics of it.

Hey bro. Please send me the instructions how to assemble this as well as a parts list. I partnered with a friend to form our media business and he already had shoulder mount. It is very uncomfortable and at times can just be painful. It's extremely hard to focus on getting a good shot like this. We are on a limited budget and what you have there looks great. If you could show me how to make one of my own it would be GREATLY appreciated. You can email me at brokenfansales@gmail.com. Thanks!!!
