I scored a decent deal on eBay for a cage and a rod riser. I've already got his DSLR rig which is of fantastic quality, so if the Scarlet stuff is more or less the same quality, I got a steal.

I'll post pictures when my Scarlet and my cage arrives.

Yes, I'm using an RRS ballhead, but the panorama setup is from 360Precision. The rotatators from RRS doesn't have click stops.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of 360Precision. Looks like very cool stuff, thanks for that.

Dmitry, wow am I confused. That cage was that cheap, and it arrived? No dodgeyness/scam?

I'm looking at this and don't know what to make of it, because there is nothing that comes even close to as cheap as this http://camera777.com/dslr-rig/41-pro...ed-scalet.html

I do not know what to make of this.

I'm pretty sure it's not a scam. Others have gotten the same product here, they're just not vocal about it.

And the reason why it's so cheap? They're a 'cloning' business. Almost no time spent in R&D, labour is cheap, and there's almost no overhead to deal with since they're just found online. The only difference between this product and others, is that it's a Korean guy pressing the button on the CNC mill, and not an American or a German. They're made to the exact same tolerances and use the same billet aluminum. Not sure about their anodizing though.

Here is a look at my rig. Scarlet-X AL with CinemaOxide IDX Plate, x bottom plate w/ 15mm rods clamps and top handle, RedRockMicro Matte box and Follow Focus Blue. Another setup includes the Zacuto EVF mounted off the handle.

@ Jospeh

GiniRigs are a Korean manufacturer well know within DLSR circles with a solid track record. They have now branched out into creating rigs for Epic/ Scarlet. Whilst I don't own a cage, I do own some rail components & a FF. The build is exceptional, comparable to Zacuto or Berkey, the pricing structure is also exceptional, in a good way. If you jump on US Ebay & look under Red Scarlet or Epic you will see what I mean. I have seen the cage Dimtry has, go for $199. A word about their pricing policy, its all over the place, some items are listed as Buy it Now for $1200, whilst the same item will have a no reserve price @ $199 go figure.

Currently GiniRigs has this

a whole rig including cage, handles, follow focus & shoulder Pad for $499 no reserve . They also have one at 99 cents with no reserve!@$# , no way will it go for that but if your on a tight budget worth considering. In terms of payment & postage I have never had a problem....they are solid.

My standard rig ... my back is killing me today though ... so not shooting anything. Would love in my next project to have something a bit smaller, lmao ... it will probably be more monsterous though.

I really like shooting down though ... not a lot of rigs allow shooting down and up.

Hey Patrick

Nice setup ...I see what you mean by a sore back.....do you have assistants helping you ?

I was reflecting back on the "old days" on getting similar shots with Elemac "Spiders", jibs & hot heads & three grips & 2 trucks and long set up times. Its amazing how far gear has come........a lot more sore backs then.
