So I was looking online for Shoulder rig options for the C100 Mark II and I couldn’t find much besides the expensive ones that cost’s almost as much as the camera itself. They are nice though but I wanted something that is less complex and still get’ts the job done.
So I got creative…
I found the chinese Company Smallrig and found out you can built almost every rig you want.
For under 1000$ I got the following:
Baseplate:

Matte Box:

Atomos Recorder:

Smallrig 15mm Rod Clamp with Shoe Mount: $26.00 (http://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-15mm-rod-clamp-with-hot-shoe-mount-1597.html)
Smallrig Single Railblock: $10.39 (http://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-single-railblock-860.html)
Would I built it excactly the same way now? Probably not. For example I wish I would have invested in a better baseplate and for a few hundred dollars you can get a nice grip relocator too.
The Monitor/EVF solution is also not optimal. But you can also just use the rig without the mattebox, follow focus and monitor and you have a lightweight rig that is less obtrusive.
I hope this gives you some inspiration for your rig and if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment and I get back to you.
