Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the camera support. They mention that it wears down pretty quickly and starts to not get tight enough to hold everything together. The follow focus is wimpy and not very good fit, and the sunshades are plastic. It has to be tightened quite often for the teeth to catch and work.

I needed a rig for my new Canon 7D for film production, and was shocked at the price when I came across this. This is no Redrock, but for a rig like this for around $300, I'm pretty impressed.The follow focus is probably the best thing in the set. The handles and base plate are not bad at all; I hate the shoulder pad on the other hand. It works if you absolutely have to use it. I'm going to most likely modify the one I have or purchase a separate one.The great thing is it's a 15mm rails setup. Reading in a previous review that the rails were a little short I pulled some 12" 15mm rails from an old rig I had. It's much better, and I ordered some additional rails for about $29 on ebay. You can customize these rigs in just about anyway you see fit. If there is something you don't like about it, you can always get a few clamps, arms, and rails to change it. I would encourage anyone that purchases this rig to look into customizing it; it's cheap, fun, and you can really build something nice.*No instructions in any of the boxes* Also I attached a Canon 50mm 1.8 which doesn't get right up to the mattebox, but it's just fine, no problem with the image. The mattebox is very cheap though, clearly the cheapest thing out of the set.

5.0 out of 5 stars WELL worth the money!

I will admit, I have only used this once, but I have to say that this is VERY worth the money spent! To compare this rig to rigs that are over $1000 is very unfair. Of course you won't get the same quality and the bells and whistles of something that is over 4 times more expensive... but what you do get is a fully functional rig with follow focus (which is HUGE to have) and a matte box to boot! Sure the matte box is made from cheap plastic, but it's kind of a throw in here. Just treat this rig with care and it will give you exactly what you want! The rods are aluminum and very sturdy. Follow focus works great! The only thing that might be a negative is the plastic fasteners. They give you two extra, and after looking at it I'm sure that you can use other standard fasteners as well should these break. Lastly, it does need a counter-weight system, but what do you expect for $250(ish)?

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy and Adaptable
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2014

This DSLR rig shipped and arrived in no time at all. It was super easy to build even without instructions. The follow focus (contrary to what others may say) is actually quite sturdy and it's actually reversible. I'm definitely going to be buying some longer 15mm rods to extend my camera further, as well as more adapter pieces for things like monitors and extra handles.

My only problem (As if you haven't read this enough) is that the plastic screws are very difficult to tighten sometimes, and yes, I fear they may break. They've held up pretty well so far though, so nothing to complain about really.

The matte box is pretty cheaply made but I suppose it does it's job. And instead of using a donut to prevent the excess light from entering the space between the lens and the matte box, I was able to fit a lens hood in there and it works just fine.

The counter weight was an excellent addition too. Balancing the rig on a tripod with the camera attached was simple, and the weights have threads so more can be added (Though I haven't been able to find them on amazon yet.)

Overall this thing feels pretty sturdy, and I love that it can add to it as much as I like. My clients are definitely impressed when they see me hauling this around.

This product is interestingly useful. I find many things already mentioned by others to be the case, however, with some simple adjustments, I was able to make it work better for me than standard configuration. The device is designed for you to hold the handles a bit away from the shoulder so you view the LCD of your camera. With no counter balance weight (behind you) for the shoulder pad, it's really not too steady, and when you take one hand off e.g for focus adjustments on your camera, you balance is tilted. So, my solution was to rearrange things.

1. I put a viewfinder on my Canon Mk III DSLR
2. Shortened the Rod distance between the shoulder pad and the handles so me eye can reach the viewfinder.
3. Tilted the rod connecting the rig to the shoulder pad,,45 degree downward versus straight horizontal.
4. Removed the right hand handle and placed in front of the rig (on the left rail inverted, So the handle is centered just below the Matte/front end of the Camera lens)

This now means I have three major points of contacts for stability...the front handle, the viewfinder and then the shoulder mount. The left handle is not needed for this setup. You hold the front handle with your right hand which is now centered relative to the body of the camera, the shoulder pad is on the right shoulder as well. You pull back tight on the handle while shooting so your forehead on the viewfinder and shoulder against the shoulder pad affords more stability. Your left hand is free to be used for focusing and available as a 4th point of contact.

If I have the time, will post a picture for this configuration but it's probably the most brilliant way to use this rig. It makes it more versatile and actually functional more so than it's original/intended design. Don't expect to walk and shoot with this rig. A lens with an image stabilizer will still be your best bet.

Overall, for me, with this new configuration and the nice follow focus which appears to work well with my Zeiss 50mm Makro lens , and the relatively low cost ...this is a 4 Star. I would give it a 5 if they had included an attachable counter weight for the shoulder pad. Again, don't expect smooth shot if you going to be walking with this unit...I would suggest a Glidecam or something like that to walk/move and shoot versus a rig like this....

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Rig for the Price!
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2013

Bought one for work as we have a spare 5D MarkII, wanted to see how it would workout as a spare backup camera and this rig helped to pull it off. The guys love it and each have their own opinion on it, but overall they love it. I liked it so much I bought one for my personal camera at home. Who ever thought that a T2i could look and work like a professional HD video camera using this rig.
For the price it does the job. It's not a $1000 professional rig marked down, so don't blast it, it is a prosumer rig at best.
It's strong, solid, stays tight and doesn't loosen up during the day. It's quick and easy to adjust to different users. Set-up time is fast. The Matte box is plastic, yes. But it holds its position where set.
This is a great starter rig for anybody that is a beginner and or wants and needs an inexpensive rig. Think of it as a set of training wheels, before spending several thousands of dollars of a more professional rig set-up.
