This is a quick review of the www.cpmfilmtools.com DSLR shoulder shooter kit. I’ve spent 3 months using this rig on several projects before putting together this review. Over the course of the last year and half I’ve used quit a number of DSLR rigs before settling on this configuration. There are a few tweaks that still need to be made to this design before I would call it perfect, but for its price range it is a very well made device. Pros Light weight, Carbon fiber construction, Solid build quality, Cage configuration protects camera, Lifetime warranty, Cons: Less configurable then some other rigs, Shoulder plate needs improvement, Handle grips need to be better secured, Lacking top mounting holes for accessories, Bottom line: This is a great rig for the price range of 0, and it seems every month cpmfilmtools.com upgrades or reconfigures rigs based on user input. In the 3 month time frame I’ve had this rig to test out, they have address a few issues I’ve had with my model. The light weight design keeps your rig lighter, but the lack of wish bone type connectors limits otherwise possible configurations that some users might need. Video was shot on a canon HF S100.
