Since many rig manufacturers are here as well as people who are already using C300, so I would like to ask this question.

I am looking for a rig to use the C300 along with my long lenses (Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM) as well as other lenses. I will be using it for wildlife. I don't want the C300 to dangle from one end. I would appreciate if you all can suggest something.

I had a half a day session at Canon with their representatives. I am impressed with the C300. I will need to pick up a good follow focus as well.

Look forward to your suggestions.
Cheers,

I'm looking at the Movcam Dovetail with Bridgeplate (http://16x9inc.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=892) with the Movcam Top Handle (http://16x9inc.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=839) for our C300PL package (we're using a 9" long Fuji PL Zoom) in order to properly balance the camera on the tripod. Best low-profile solution I've seen.

Movcam /16x9 products for c300 are excellent. Their add-on top handle has been received really well. Many mounting points for accessories if needed. Multiple cold shoes that are movable offer increased flexibility http://16x9inc.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=839

Or a Bebob rig. Very light and a suberp counterbalance http://www.bebob.de/Rigs-and-Cages/Titanium-cages/?XTCsid=c36ec7eb82cbc6c0275a6614a6910d1f
 
How do the redrock micro blue rigs stand up? I have a random assortment of old redrock gear, but the packages they're offering nowadays look pretty versatile which is exactly what I need. Shane Hurlbut seems to dig redrock's gear as well.
 
The red rock rig is definitely their most functional, robust product. It is super solid, and sleek. Personal experience.
 
At Texas Media Systems we carry the Red Rock shoulder mount rig for the C300, the Ultracage. It's definitely a solid piece of equipment and very versatile. I've had clients come in and customize it for other cameras too; they like it because of the weight system in the back and the well-designed shoulder pad.

Red Rock is nice but I purchased the Movcam and could not be happier. Best built rig I have ever owned and perfect for the C300.

Here's our hybrid Arri base plate, arms, grips/Manfrotto Sympla horizontal offset/Opteka counter weights shoulder rig.
