@MediaBrighton You are right, that is a great design! How does it work? mine didn't work as expected, so after I find some free time (dealing with my new born baby and work, you know ;) ) I hope I can come up with a beter design. Cheers!
@mmunera I would like to know how to make the follow focus I have a rig but focusing sucks when I take my hand off, is it a hose clamp attached to wire connected to the handle?
I don't really remember right now, I just moved to a new flat and I have everything packed in boxes, I come back to you when I check that out. However to be honest, don't use that monitor I got. The reason is that the image doesn't really comes in HD quality and then is it pretty much useless for sharp focusing. Try to get monitor in which the image resolution and could be the same or better than the camera one.
ur rig look like its profesionally made.... kindly enough upload step by step video so everyone out there can make their own instead of buying the expensive one..money saved can be used for something else
Sorry for the late answer, I'm crossing for a busy part of my life right now. But there is many people asking me about how did I made my ring.
This was a initial prototype, but I'm not 100% happy with it.
I'm probably moving to a new house with more space where I can probably work on my new project. For that one I can record step by step the building process.
Great! hopefully you record how you make it. I am getting ready to start making my own rig so I would be very thankful if you told me how you made the Grip/follow focus. That was a great idea!!! Good luck on your new rig.
I my god, I think I lost the piece of paper where I putted the name of the parts I used.
I didn't make a step by step video, but what I can do is to send you some pictures of the ring so you can more or less figure out how to put the parts together.
For the focusing ring, I would suggest u not to use the one I created. The reason is that the movement of the focus isn't smooth and it looks bad on the video. Best! afterwards. Sometimes when I focus it goes jumping). Best
I like how you've edited this together. Have you made any altercations to the design?

This is one of the coolest DIY shoulder mounts I've seen so far. Extra points for the follow focus too.

Do you have video on how to build it?

@XaosWear,
No really, but I find some time soon I can try to sketch what I remember I did. Or even better, I am planing a simpler version in aluminum.
Best!
