Shoulder Mount for DVX/HVX and DSLR?

[diego1235467]

I want to buy a shoulder mount/ support system that will work for both a dvx/hvx, and a dslr.

I've looked all over the net, and I can't seem to make up my mind. I like the Redrock shoulder mount, but I've heard it's very uncomfortable. How bad is it? Also, how much would I have to spend in order to offset the camera so I could see the DSLR screen? I've also heard it takes FOREVER to get your stuff from Redrock.

For me it's down to the Redrock shoulder mount, the DV Multirig, and the DVrig Pro Extreme.

What I don't like about the dvrig products, is the fact that they're not modular. I know I can add a monitor and stuff to the Multirig, but it just doesn't seem set up for adding accessories.

And while the DVrig Pro Extreme does have rods, they seem small, and only good for a follow focus on a DSLR.

I need a shoulder mount/ support system that will be good for BOTH a DVX/HVX and a DSLR. I'm not going to be adding too many accessories, but I would like to have the potential for some upgrades.

Can you guys please help me decide? Or if you have another option, let me know?
I'd appreciate some help.

The DVTEC Extreme rods are 18 Cm long which is OK in most cases.

You can screw in 9 or 18 Cm extensions to make them as long as you need.

and... it is good for both DSLR and standard DV/ HDV cameras.
and... We ship next day from order, delivery is 2-4 days.

PS.- I do think the Extreme is modular...

Well I am leaning toward the Extreme. reading the review from the 5d guys, it seems its pretty awesome.

And it's great to see you actually care about your customers. Good customer support is a must for me, and it seems you certainly provide it.
