I'm using this rig with a 5D Mark II at the same time secured a Zoom H4n. It was at a couple of shooting there, so I can tell about my experience. Positives: The price is really good. It can be adjusted in different ways to fit the needs. The handles can be mounted accessories / screws. Relatively pleasant Schaumstiffgriffe. It is very easy and can be put together after easily into a backpack. Negatives: It consists of no robustesn material, almost everything is made of plastic. The handles have to be very tight and to remain stable. Fearing to turn it I have not tightened too much so they slip sometimes. One can indeed give the rear arm on the shoulder to the weight crashing something, but what only slightly mitigated the weight. The most weight is then in the arms and back. After about 20-30 minutes which is not funny when you used heavier cameras. No pipe system Mattebox and follow focus. I'm going in the future a more expensive Rig buy many of these problems has not. Where I can eg counterweight Attach rear. But I am glad that I did it myself bought to bridge because it is for the price really good! That is why the good rating. I would recommend it in this sense. However, it is imo not suitable for long-term professional use. I hope I could help.
