I've been looking into the CPM Flyer Shoulder Rig kit, but wondered if there are any other rigs that you guys may recommend instead?

Thanks for your cooperation,

I reccomend Jag35. I know some people have issues with their shipping, but I've not had any problems with them (shipping to the UK). Their products do the job, very very well (:
 
Thanks guys. I've looked around quite a bit and found some other stuff. The Jag35 Field Runner is for $275, but it doesn't seem to fit what I'm looking for. The style is kind of odd in my opinion. But that's just my opinion. I've read a couple of forums on here, and the Gini Rig's do seem good, but I feel better having something made in the USA with a Lifetime Warranty. I guess I've kind of answered my own question here (stupid me), I think I'm going to get the CPM Flyer Shoulder Rig that I liked. It's made in the USA, has Lifetime Warranty, I can buy additional parts if I need to, and it has a cage around it to sort of protect my T2i. CPM from this chart I also found online- http://www.dslrrigcomparison.com/dslrrigcomparison.pdf -seems like a very decent company and great customer service. But if you guys still have any opinions or other rigs out there, I would still love to hear. Thanks guys!

Has anyone here tried the Jag35 straight rig? What is the difference with the Red rock? Also has anyone tried their plate with a GH2?
 
Phenixone, I've used the RedRock rig, and I currently own the Jag35 Straight Rig, and I have to say, I prefer the Jag35 Rig more. Im not sure why, and Im sure I'll get a scalding here, but in this case, I prefer Jag over Redrock. (infact in most cases I do). Yes, perhaps the Jag35 Rig does have a little to much selfpromotion, on everything, however, its a small price to pay.

Its comfortable, light-weight & aesthetically pleasing (I do love the Orange & Black), however, if you plan to use a monitor *which you need to with this*, a follow-focus & matte-box, it may be a good idea to invest in 20" Carbon Fibre rods from CPM.
