Check out the video
These guys seem to be making a super crazy compact shoulder rig with mount for your follow focus or matte box. Ive been looking for a rifle stock style mount so i can travel lighter and this thing has got to be as light as it gets man.

Bloody amazing stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing pricing and maybe checking it out of they are at NAB.

That rig looks pretty slick!
I love the modular concept they put into it. Not only can you add on/take away from it, but the parts rotate and expand. Very Transformer-ish. Very cool.

Yeah, when i watched through it the first time and i saw the rails come out of the shoulder stock i was floored. Great ideas. I hope the pricing is somewhere that i can reach. Good thing i got my tax refund coming in.

Yeah, that stuff looks real good. I'm guessing it's going to be mucho expensivo.

Wow... Pretty damn ingenious!

Wicked!

It looks cool but most of the design is almost like a copy of www.handyfilmtools.com products except that fancy and slick Flexi Follow Focus. And yes, the Pocket Shoulder Rig looks interesting but I am not going to get that because if you look carefully, the video finally ends up with the monster rig too!! (after all the addition on the handle, Monitor Holder, and double shoulder support right??).

 

[treynolds]

Yeah, it did mostly look like handy tools rigs. Especially the way the double shoulder support folds out. I like the small one for travel. I would bring one handle with me and a small follow focus. They did do a quick cut and then bam a huge rig again.

Kicap and treynolds - that's because Edelkrone is just the new name for handyfilmtools hah, they've changed their company, possibly a merger there or something.

 

[treynolds]

Well that's good to hear. Im glad Handyfilmtools is still working.

Turkish cell phone number? where are these guys? ahh Ankara! Price would be interesting to know...

 

[treynolds]

I'm sure there will be pricing sometime next week at NAB or at least more info.

The double-shoulder mount is priced at $3k. Ouch.

They are not only good ingeneers, they also seem to have some good marketing experts: give the product a german name (translating to sth like "noble crown") and raise the price to Zacuto level... I watched them from the beginning, should have bought back then, but now they´re beyond what I would pay for a rig... Well at least for a non-RED rig...

Good thing I made my own for about 75 bucks. Nothing like the 'battery grip' though, best thing I've seen yet!
