Recommendation for DSLR rig good for tall people (offset shoulder capability)

[jbklynnyc]

I'm researching shoulder rigs for my GH2 setup, which I usually use with a SmallHD DP6.

So far I've been having a hard time finding a good rig that has an adjustable shoulder support setup that would allow me to keep my camera closer to chest height rather than shoulder height. I'm over 6' tall and don't want to be constantly looking down on people and also worrying about converging vertical lines.

Any tips or product recommendations? Thanks.

At 6' 6" I'd love to find one as well.

I've had to pass some operating onto the "littler" people.

I dont know why you want offset with a monitor, id get a striaght rig

Our bulldog rig is an underslung rig. We also have a shoulder shooter. I am 6'4" and use the bulldog for most of my shoulder work where an external monitor is used. Otherwise its a sidewinder (conventional over the shoulder offset rig).

Bulldog is $649.99, with the rig you can easily swap top rods for bottom and have a conventional over the shoulder style of rig. We also have some new cubed rigs that are GH2/60D specific that allow articulation of the flip out screen. Might want to take a look at those as well.
