Thought I'd share my new rig for the C100. Coming from a RED Scarlet owner this is such a refreshing rig for me. Just so lightweight and maneuverable. Can't wait to start shooting with it:

Kit includes:

Zacuto Z-Finder
Zacuto Gorilla baseplate
Zacuto 7" rods
Zacuto Target Shooter
Proaim Matte box (Cinecity)
Proaim FF (Cinecity)
Induro sticks with 75mm bowl - minus head (really light weight, though wish I got the carbon version)
Manfrotto Rapid Connector plate
Ninja2 w/monoprice 3' cable (small ends)

What's nice about this is with the Target Shooter and the FF mounted right side of the camera, I can go completely handheld by gripping the rails and using my eye and shoulder as a solid point of contact. No real need for a shoulder rig at all. All I need is a hood for the Ninja and I'm ready to shoot my next film.

Looks clean.

Do you like those Enduro legs? I need another set for two camera setup. Was looking at a Benro.
 
Yeah the legs are great. I have the metal ones of course but the carbons are a couple of pounds lighter. I just threw my Manfro 501 head on there for now so that adds some more weight but overall really happy and they are well made. And for $299 you can't go wrong really.
 
What length is the rod holding the monitor and is there a name for that little bracket attached to it?

Looks fantastic by the way, working on something similar at the moment myself.

The rod is about 3" long. I'm not sure the name for the bracket. It came with my original shoulder rig and I never figured out the actual name for the part. I'm in the process of changing the mount for the Ninja though. It's a neat solution but it gets in the way of pulling focus if you don't have a FF attached. I'm going to go with the Edelkrone EVf mount as soon as it comes back in stock. Dropping the Ninja in from above frees up the left side of the lens for focus or zoom.
 
Nice. I was looking at a matte box which could perfectly fit rokinon lenses, this pro aim one is ok ?
 
The ProAim matte box has been fine for me. It's a little plasticky but it's well made and it has a riser which has worked for the various cameras I've owned. With the built in ND filters not like you need to really use it for the filters anyway.
