I've read up on some really nice DIY shoulder rigs for the 5DMKII. Some costing upwards of two grand. Of course I can't find the parts to make a rail system based on cinema standards. At least not without having some parts machined. I think the toughest bits to acquire are the mounting blocks. I decided to see what was laying around the house and this is what I came up with. It's a shoulder pad from a camera stabilizer system that just looked ridiculous. I adapted just that part to a flash rail and some bits of bicycle handles and finished it off in flat black. The camera plate is from a manfrotto monopod. The total cost was 25 bucks.
