This lightweight rig is remarkably well-designed and especially useful for taller people who don't want to shoot tilting down at their shorter subjects. Its single-grip design leaves a hand free for adjusting focus. It would be best used with a smaller, lighter camera like a Panasonic Lumix. I recently switched over to a 5D and that camera body is too heavy to balance on this rig, which is why I am selling it. As you can see in the pictures, I am including the 4lb counterweight and the optional body strap.

Here's a good if somewhat creepy review of this rig by Darren Levine:
