    Aeoncine has just released the details for their new rig. Looks like they also have a scarlet/epic top plate, which came as a surprise for me. Too far out of reach for me budget-wise, but worth dreaming about. All titanium??

    Nice designs. Some of the pricing is mysterious, like the top plate/handle combo. I'll keep watching until they are a bit more real.

    Great to hear the Titan is coming. Congratulation to Konstantinos et al at Aeon....I agree with Phil though, prices are to high for my taste, looking to get my hands-on for real world testing.

    Sorry but so far none equals the capabilities of the CLUTCH form RED, but most importantly ALL FAIL BIG TIME to understand the most important element of comfort and stability as well, as horizontal aligning which is imperative with a GOOD shoulder mount, and so far the only ones that have realized that is ET, with their Shoulder Pad, which allows for swivel so to correctly align it to one shoulder, RED has given me reasons to believe that they have a Shoulder module coming that will do just this to apply to their CLUTCH, once that happens the CLUTCH will become my one and only MOst absolute Favorite Shoulder system to date!!

    So we'll see how their balancing will work, as this is what interests me the most, and with one third of our movie on shoulder, I consider it the most important element, so good luck to them.

    thanks for your comments gentlemen.
    Mr Rossi, the very same design you are seeing allows for +-10 degrees from center rotary adjustment ( its also made for right or even left side operators.)
    if that is not enough , and someone requires more than +/- 10 degrees it can be made for +-20 degrees or even +/-30 degrees with no additional cost
    the very same shoulder pad has a front to back adjustment of +/- 23 mm from center(total 46mm)
    you can also have an extra fine front to back adjustment from the QR-BASE at additional +/- 10mm (total 20mm)
    Tool-less of course.
    thank you very much for your interest.

    The clutch doesn't suit everyone Ketch particularly as you say the shoulder pad, which doesn't suit my shoulder at all.

    The Titan really appeals and i look forward to seeing it in person ASAP :-) Theres a lot of nice touches there designed in by people who are shooters first. I like the totally tool free approach and the top plate with EVF & monitor mounts look very interesting

    $6000 is insane.. I don't care if it makes the camera weightless and shoots for me..

    I agree Jason. There is some crafty designs in there. In an overcrowded segment I think these guys can actually bring something new to the table. I do however feel that the price bracket they are aiming for doesn't jive with the way they are rolling this out. Doesn't seem like they want the DSLR crowd, yet I feel the marketing is a bit too gimmicky. Pros want hard facts and not teasers. I hope they can show this stuff off at NAB.

    I'm not justifying the price but the Clutch may come close to 6K when adding all the stuff the Titan has. But yeah, the whole kit is out of my range for sure.
