I've been doing some research on different rigs within my budget ($600 or less) and have come down to three rigs that seem to fit my budget. Ideally I'd like to have a rig that would include a matte box, follow focus, offset shoulder support, as well as be able to mount an external mic and possibly an external monitor. I am not looking for anything massive. I'd like to get some folks opinions and user experiences if any on the following, and by any means if you know of any comparable rigs around the same price please let me know!
-indiSYSTEM AIRsupport 2.0 http://www.indisystem.com/airsupport-2-0/
I have not found many reviews on this specific rig or half rig, it seems to be light weight and comes with a follow focus and matte box (though I'm not sure how well they perform). For the price I seem to get everything I desire right now within my budget..but quality wise.. will it last? Would I be able to safely mount an external mic and monitor? Would there be a better rig to get from indiSYSTEM?

This obviously would just be a foundation for a starting rig, which I would eventually need to add more to, but it contains what two things I would like, which are the follow focus and matte box.
Gini rig - http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Puing-/261005605461?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc5257a55
I have heard nothing but great reviews about GINI's rigs and this seems to be the best bang for the buck. Only thing that would not be included would be a matte box (which is not a deal breaker). However, I have heard that it is pretty much hit or miss when buying from GINI and I cannot seem to find a set price for this rig or his others.
Thanks in advance for anyones input!
