    Do you think that the side handles and the base plate are compatible with a TACTICAL TOP PLATE ?

    Greg, what is size and spacing of the holes? Do they match RED's spacing?

    Ordered via ebay, paid US300/- received it 10 days later.
    Great product, and steal at the price.

    Just got my Gini cage system and it is much better machined than I had expected. All of the holes seem to line up perfectly. I paid a little over $300 on ebay which is a deal. There is also a handgrip system with rosettes now. I would recommend it if you are on a budget.

    I got mine as well. came to $290 shipped. Top and bottom plates, 4 side cage arms, two 15mm rod risers and 4 15mm rods came in the package.

    All parts fit exactly, very tight tolerances. Seems machined exactly like the x and VF Brook cages, except 1/4 to 1/5 the price.

    Bottom line: Fantastic value for your money.

    Insane, for less than the price of most top plates? A little hard to trust, but I will get one on eBay once more start to pop up. Thanks for the feedback

    It's too good of a deal to be true, yes. And I feel most are skeptical, but just keep in mind that the cheaper rigs are clones and have not spent the time in development in making these rigs from scratch, hence probably the reason for the massive price difference (Oh and because South Korean labor is a lot cheaper than American.)

    Do you have any links? I just did a search for "gini" on eBay and it didn't come up with anything like this.

    Type in "Scarlet Cage" or just "Red Scarlet" and you should be able to find it.

    Oh yes they're a company that get my total respect, having a website called scarlet-epic.com - nice to show respect for trademarks guys, way to go.

    I don't think a true pro would be seen dead with this IMHO.
