At the time of purchase, I was looking for an affordable solution rig as an amateur, and unfortunately, today it no longer suits me for several reasons. First, there was an article with metallic elements, it must be said, some rigs are plastic, to "tubes" and clamping elements, so a good point there. Note that for this price, it was intéréssant, there was a follow focus, fairly expensive piece, certainly, but its functioning can be improved rather well for any beginner. Today, things have accelerated professional side for me, and I needed something both effective, strong, and with a professional look, and it does not have all these faculties. Not possible to take the time for lack of a cons-weight too light, matte-box is questionable, etc. So I was forced to turn to a rig that costs 5 times as much. My comment is intended to be objective, then I would say that this article is really intéréssant for an amateur and casual use, of course, for professional use, this is not the case.
