Post pics of your rigs here...

Nice stuff Matt, looks like you got the Libec DV950 pod. I have one of those along with an LS382a. Libec stuff is rock solid.

Hey good find, India is really coming up with a cheap version of everything.

Wonder how sturdy it is? Blue handles got to go :P

that photo is of my rig and yes it's called the "gliders" from India. According to dvtec.tv it's a copy of their 1st gen shoulder support. I was very suprised at how well it works and is made. The shoulder bar is steel, the front bars are aluminum, and the joints are ABS. My biggest gripe is the stitching on the shoulder pad is a little rough in places, but for this price I didn't expect a Zacuto.

Nice people too- when I emailed them about a part that was sticking, instead of sending me a replacement part they sent me a brand new unit. Now I have two of them :shocked: dhanyavad cinecity!

I modified it a bit- added some velcro fasteners and changed out the blue foam grips. The most important part is actually the shock absorber (not pictured). It takes out all the jerks from your footsteps.

Thanks for the indormation, I'm gonna give a try to this "Glider" rig and a Matte Box from this dvcity.com shop. With some modifications and at this price this shoulder rig cannot be that bad i guess.

Based on the above post of yours, could you sent me the picture again? I just want to reconfirm.

By the way, did you get the Glider SHoulder mount from the Indian company? How is it?
