I bought this kit and loved it, I no longer need it, I believe there is about $2600 in the kit, I paid $1800 (see ebay link for details, not my video, but the unit I purchased) nothing wrong with it, just do not need it, you pay for shipping, Paypal O.K. You can see my rating as the buyer.
Zacuto makes a great product that is both sturdy and flexible in terms of configuration and accessories. If you are in the market for a Zacuto rig you can save yourself several hundred dollars by purchasing this rig.
I've included a video of this kit on my ebay posting: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zacuto-Indie...-/280906311485
This is a highly flexible camera rig. It can be modified into three basic configurations.
Included components. For more details on these components review my video and also the Zacuto website.

This is a highly flexible camera rig. It can be modified into three basic configurations.
- Ballast configuration without Z-offset. I used this configuration when using the Sony EX3.
- Ballast configuration with Z-offset. I used this configuration when using the Panasonic HVX200
- Recoil configuration. (This is NOT a Recoil kit as sold by Zacuto but this rig can be configured to work just like a Recoil rig. See my video for details) If you are not familiar with a Recoil rig from Zacuto, essentially a Recoil rig places the camera and mounting plate directly over your shoulder pad and shoulder. This way the weight of the camera isn't in front of the operator and doesn't require a ballast. This reduces the weight of the rig. You will likely need to purchase an EVF to make this configuration work. (EVF not included) This Recoil configuration works with the smaller cameras like the DSLR's, or AF-100 and perhaps the Sony F3.

- Universal Baseplate with 12 inch 15mm rods: ( Zacuto website description in quotes) "The Universal Baseplate works with all cameras, including Panasonic HVX200, DVX100a/b,AF-100 Canon XL-H1, XL1, XL1s, XL2, GL2, XH-A1 Sony XDCAM EX1 EX3, Sony F3, Sony NEX-FS100*, SO-HVR-Z1U, VX1000, VX2000, PD-150, PD-170, JVC GY-HD100U,HD200U, HD250U, Silicon Imaging SI2K, RED ONE and any other cameras of this size. Zacuto Universal Baseplate includes 12-inch rods and works and allows mounting accessories off the front and the back of the rods. " I have personally mounted the Panasonic HVX200, Sony EX3, Panasonic AF-100, and a Nikkon DSLR.
- Shoulder Pad with 7 inch 15mm rods:
- Z-offset: The Z-offset includes two pieces. Both are similar. One of the two pieces has a quick release while the other only has Allen wrench lock downs. The Z-offset offsets the rig for some cameras like the Panasonic HVX200 so you can look through the eyepiece
- Zgrips: These are the original Zgrip design from Zacuto.
- Additional 7 inch rods (15mm): for extending the rig for for the Top Double Mount and Red Plate.
- 12 inch articulating Zamerican arm with Zicromount: lets you mount an external monitor like the Zacuto EVF (Zacuto EVF not included)
- Double Mount with Red Plate, Zround, and 3 Stud Anton Bauer battery plate
