So a lot of people know about this rig here. it's been going around as a decent cheap shoulder rig.
Well I have been experimenting with it and I found something:
Removing everythign except the hind grips/shoulder-rest and the baseplate makes it a decent enough shoulder rig already.
If you hold your camera by the Lens and body a lot, using just the hind part is already enough for like 90% of applications.
Seriously, just having a shoulder rest is enough to stabilize most video material. It also folds to be really compact.
Why isn't there a "shoulder-rest-only" shoulder rig which is also hella compact like this one? I think with a small adjustement this could be almost as small as the camera:
>3 instead of 2 grips
>thinner padding and rods
>all 3 grips extendable
>no 90° locking
