New Rig for GH1

my only concern is that it looks like the handles are positioned too far back to balance well, especially with long lenses.
 
my concern is not suggesting that it needs to be bigger or less stealthy. just make it so anyone can slide the handles forward or back....or position them slightly forward of the camera body so at least the weight is centered over the handles. a shoulder brace is pointless if all the weight of the rig/camera is forward of your handles.
 
Adding a few parts would give you the ability to move the handles forward.

Everyone has their own preference.
 
I really like the fact that this rig is so compact and that you can fit follow focus on it... I don't think balancing would be too much of an issue in regards to keeping a steady shot (considering the 3 points of contact).

Wonder what follow focus is on there?

There are also a lot of rigs popping up lately that are right around $250, if this was right at $200 I think it would be a little more desirable. Photokina is only a couple week away and buy Christmas there will probably be anywhere from 3-5 more hdslrs on the market. That means more people making more rigs for even cheaper to stay competitive.

This place does seem to have pretty decent prices, anybody have experience with the quality of their products?
