Shoulder rig help

Hey all.

It is with great sadness that I write this, but this weekend, while transporting gear for a shoot, my shoulder rig was stolen. I'm coming to you guys because, well quite frankly, I haven't had need to follow camera rigs for years, as I've been using mine for over 5 now with great success, and am in need of your opinions.

My previous setup ran like this all on 18" carbon fiber rods:

Mattebox (indifocus) - hand grips (indifocus) - follow focus (indifocus) - tripod mount plate (manfrotto) - camera riser (cinevate) - shoulder mount

It was a bit of a frankenrig so ideally i'd like something a little more solid. I'm looking at spending no more than $1500 to replace this baby but would like your opinions on what I should be looking at in this crazy market of HQ and LQ gear. Your help is greatly, greatly appreciated.

Thanks all!
 
I second Jason. I use a Tilta with Tilta handles, and it is the best. In mounts to a v-lock quick release plate right under the shoulder pad, which maintains your center of gravity between shoulder and sticks.

Sorry to hear about your rig.
