The shoulder rig really improves the quality of shooting handheld with DSLRs. The rig is easily converted into an array of setups that are very quick and easy to go back and forth to each configuration. In seconds you are able to remove the shoulder part of the rig and have a nicely designed platform for a tripod configuration. This comes in handy for running all of your accessories and being able to mount your head plate, so that you are ready for controlled production to ENG "run and gun".
With a $200 price tag, this is hard to beat. I will end up playing around with more configurations, and will keep you updated as I progress.
The Carry Speed viewfinder for $50 is a steal compared to other competitors. The viewfinder does not have a diopter, which can be somewhat problematic for people with out 20/20 vision (doesn't seem to effect me though). The viewfinder utilizes a metal frame that adheres to your camera, with tabs and magnets in the viewfinder to attach to the frame. It works fairly well, but there is some sense of carefulness so that the viewfinder doesn't fall off. Carry Speed suggests wearing the lanyard that comes with it.
More cameras, rigs, tripods, heads and accessories to follow!
