edelkrone Pocket Rig 2

GH5+600mm lens ... handholding? Ouch. FS700 with no rig .. handholding? OUCH! Rather than kit up some huge vest support system (which are great, but large and cumbersome making it hard to run and gun especially if you don't appreciate being noticed ...) I opted for thisPocket Rig 2 thing. It's not perfect .. I would say I wish I had otehr options for it, like a little longer, and/or more options for flex joints/angles, but it is definitely a big help. It is heavy .. .but very well engineered. The rod system is a great idea, and well implemented. A small follow focus and lens support for bigger lenses is in my future. I never did want to have a full rod/matte box rig ... sure they look cool and are quite useful but too much tweaking, as well as large. This will suit my needs for such. The pivot points are something you can easily tighten, and this helps immensely, however you want to really work with it to tighten the minimum for your needs .. this makes it easier to deploy, as well as reduces wear on the joints. I wish there was a dedicated slot for the 3mm hex key so it would always be with the unit. I wish the entire unit was smaller and lighter, but lost none of its functionality or strength. Hah. So I say good job Edelkrone .. another useful (niche) tool!
