Shape Rig Style for DSLR Kits

2014-03-11T21:00:00

I've used Shape rigs on plenty of shoots, so I was familiar with the quality. The one button handle grips were a huge selling point for me. Nice not having to put the rig down to change the angle of a handle, and everything is rock solid. I was looking to buy a larger Shape rig, but I'm happy this set up gets my foot in the door. The Half cage fits my 5D mark 3 perfectly. Putting in something else other than a DSLR will be another investment but thats fine with me. The rig is so nicely weighted, shooting ground shots is a breeze. Modifying Shape rigs on the fly is quick and easy. I'm surprised at how affordable Shape gear is. The only thing I would change is having the small levers be ratcheting. Small gripe, I think.
