shoulder mount

[boulder]

Kind of scoping out shoulder mounts and this super cheap one caught my eye for versatility. Has anyone tried it with an af100? The girl holding it is super cute so I'm tempted.

I would pass on this.

I would pass on this.

Unless the girl comes with it.

Yuck. The rig. Not the chick

You would be better off buying 15mm rod parts from COOLLCD (if on a budget) and building a nice rig.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not a big fan of shoulder mount setups which put the camera out in front of the shooter rather than on the shoulder.

I agree but the AF is quite difficult to work with shoulder mounted unless you have an EVF. Also since the AF is quite compact having a small prime on it means the camera can't be put backwards on your should too much or else you can't get at the lens.

I plan to order exactly this model.
Has somebody tried it?

I have the MultiRig Pro. Used it as a shoulder mount for the 5D2, but only when traveling.

Doesn't seem a good fit for the AF100.

the girl's cute, but that rig will break your back and shake your shots...I've learned (the hard way) that the camera should sit on the shoulders. check out this rig that Olof from westsideAV is building for the AF100

his prices are always reasonable and it would be worth the scratch for sure
