    I have a canon 7d and lately I've been using the video part of the camera but with the camera being so big it's hard to hold it steady with my telephoto lenses. I'm totally trying this!

    I was at a camera show looking at some of the rigs that looked like crap and cost $400, plus. Your rig can be set up almost anyway needed, you can have two or three cameras with same rig and still only spend $100. I will visit your site, I hope you have a donate to fricken great idea button.
