Canon 7D DIY Wooden Shoulder Rig With Follow Focus.

I love it when the story is so close to home. I found this really cool little video from Cinema 5D viewer Clifford Bergqvist in the videolog portion of the site. Clifford employed his father to construct a really nice shoulder rig for his Canon 7D, using wood and a neat little follow focus built into the left handle. Great job filming this little Doc on the construction of the rig. This looks like a great way to save up for some nice Zeiss ZE glass. Thanks for posting this Clifford.

Great father!

Just amazing. Love the fact that you started with a tree limb and ended up with a full DSLR Rig! I love the inventive follow focus most though. Great idea.

Loved it. I wish I had enough cash to set up a workshop like that and make lots of toys.

Add a rubber band shooter!

Just some doubts about the precision of the follow focus……..

Looks nice. I like the FF!

Man! That follow focus is great, and got me thinking you could actually stack two rotative bars, one for focus and one for zoom. Then it would be a master piece.

No one can touch that Follow Focus! Grab the patent for that idea fast.

Big bow to your father.

That will be patented by zacuto, redrock micro or some other company in a heartbeat. Such is the the world of money.
