C300: Recommendations for a decent rig setup

[Engelads]

So we're currently in the market for a C300, and I'd like to get some recommendations for a decent rig setup. We do a wide variety of shooting projects, ranging from weddings, to TV commercials, to long format videos. The camera would mostly be on a tripod, but we'll shoot handheld as well as on a jib, so the rig would have to be quite flexible.

Also, we were originally planning on going with a C100/Atomos Ninja2 combo, but decided to step up to the C300. Is there any reason to still get the Ninja2?

Thanks for any advice!

Ninja -> If you need to record direct to ProRes possibly (or have 2 cards in cam + external backup)? Otherwise, no.

The C300 does not output time code or stop/ start trigger over HDMI, so no there is no reason to get a Ninja 2.

I own a C300, and if I was starting from scratch I would order this: http://store.zacuto.com/recoil-v2-for-canon-c100-c300-c500/

The grip relocator I find invaluable. I would like my C300 to sit right over my shoulder, not in front of it as it does now. This looks like a good set-up but I have never seen or used it. It just looks like it all makes sense to me.

I don't work or represent Zacuto in any way, and in fact have dismissed some of their early designs for the C300 as being too heavy for OPC use. It looks like they have gone back to the drawing board and come up with some good ideas to make this camera more ergonomic.
