    Ah, in the District of Criminals... ;)

    Bummer, you seem cool. Well, if you're ever back in Japan let's go shooting or something. I'm in Nagoya BTW.

    Looking forward to seeing your video, Thanks!

    Very cool!

    Do you have any sample vids using it as a make-shift steady-cam?

    I'm in Japan too BTW, what city are you in?

    Glad you liked it. Yeap... it took me a while to find what I like... or what I really want.

    Initially I wanted to record better audio. So I got a preamp and a mic. Plus LED light. How to carry them? I saw the original editman rig from http://www.theeditman.com. That looked cool. So I got one. I don't like bulky and expensive ones that do only one thing. I just need a few "right" gears to do all things I need to perform. This is it. Imma happy camper. Hehe.

    Hope you find a right configuration. If question, just ask here. Oh they got very nice lens support, too.

    Thanks for that Stonebat.

    I really love it's versatility and how you demonstrated that in your vid.
    It encourages thinking creatively with the camera in hand which I think is just awesome and the way have always found myself working regardless of what I have or where I am.

    I'd need to modify it somehow with some rails for FF and lens support. But again just love how versatile it is.

    I can't recall exact cost as I kept buying more blocks. Very roughly $700 total. High quality parts made in USA. Frankly I haven't bought made-in-usa gears in freaking long time.

    Canon S95 + compact rig version weighed less than 2 lbs. My 5 years old likes using it. :)

    My tripod is the cheap Weifeng WF717A from amazon at $149... but the price jumped to staggering $299. Anyways I didn't wanna spend too much on a tripod as I'm more interested in moving the camera around. The rig worked out nice for me.

    Very cool Stonebat, good vid. How much did you put that together for?
