Hey everyone,

I'm curious to see other 5D user's rigs. Please post pictures with what you like and dislike about your rigs!

Any more information you care to add would only be helpful!

Thanks in advance!
 
For most things, monopod/tripod + camera + Z-finder (+ lens hood + ND). I like that this does the job and I'm not carrying too much crap! If desperate for height, can extend monopod and hold it above crowds, and try to keep still. Not ideal for low shots, though (when I need to do really low shots, I sigh, tell myself I'm taking one for the team, and lie down in the dirt).

Often a Videomic Pro on top. Sometimes a rotolight.

Don't ordinarily use follow focus or mattebox or monitor/EVF or attach separate sound gear (will have dedicated sound recordist if sound is needed). Don't use external batteries.
 
Depending on the shoot (or the client) I use either the Manfo 562B-2 monopod with z-finder which is very versatile. Then I have a Proaim 6" cage which I use when I need the shoulder support or to impress the client (usually the latter). You can see my review of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfMAkl6B_5Q
