In the past years I've been using rigs from Zacuto, Redrock Micro, SG Pro and all kinds of combinations of the three of them. Although you can make some decent rigs from above said brands, for my own style of shooting and a certain comfort level expected I'm still not 100% satisfied.
In the past months I've seen ads pop up everywhere introducing a new brand "Edelkrone", since it's a German word I immediately thought, hey a new brand from the home country, but I was far off, they're from Turkey.
Anyways, I came across such an ad again and finally had a look at their website:
http://www.edelkrone.com/
Initially I was overwhelmed, looked like they have a lot of products so I checked out a video that was like half an hour or longer where the company owner showcases all the rigs. It's actually a modular rig, you can buy the simplest one and add on the other components to make it the biggest rig they offer.
I particularly liked Modular 7, can't find it in their store though. Modular 9 with the double shoulder pad was what really got my attention though, for anyone who shoots features, docus or is on other jobs where you shoot shoulder mount on 12+ hour days you know how straining and heavy even well balanced rigs get...
anyways, I'm writing too much here.
I want to know if anyone here on dvxuser has bought or tested any of the Edelkrone rigs. Although it looks super nice on paper and from what I can see in the videos, I'd like to get some real world user feedback before buying something.
They seem to be reasonably priced, well machined piece of gear. Only the Modular 9 with its double shoulder pad is really expensive but I guess they take the liberty to charge more since nobody else is offering something like this.
Looking forward to you guys' feedback, thoughts.
