Cheap Chinese dslr rigs?

Rivo_Kikkul

I'm right now looking for some budget filming rig for my GH2 and G6. Ebay has some rigs with decent price but can they really be used normally and not break apart first day? One I am looking is: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Video-DSLR-Follow-Focus-15mm-Rail-Support-Camera-Rig-Matte-Box-Handle-for-HDSLR-/400505349767?pt=UK_Tripods_Heads_Stablisers&hash=item5d3ffaa687 Seems that this has everything i need right now...even can mount a mic to the top handle or smth. Does anyone here have any experience with some rigs liek this or exactly this?

One referenced is not good. Starting from shit screws and up to all else.

If you want very affordable rig - check new Forga DP 3000 stuff.

I'll list them tomorrow on weekend deals also.

Yep. Just for S&G I bought that MB awhile ago and it was the most pathetic thing I had ever seen :) Well, besides my social skills that is!

VK, when you post about the 3000 stuff, can you give an explanation of how it compares with the dp500 stuff?

Thanks

I bought and have been using the Beginner's Rig from personal-view deals. I've been using for a while and it's held up great.

300 is more budget thing. For example they use cheap plastic screws.
But specially for our deals it will be same metal screws as on their better products :-)

Buying it direct from China without eBay's cut often can be a little cheaper, some decent sites I've purchased stuff from is:
