complete DIY Shoulder rig (SUSIS 800)

Finished my 'SUSIS' shoulder rig. After a few prototypes, I got it all figured out. The rig is really well balanced, strong build and has a good wheight while being not too heavy. (1,6kg) (2,3kg with juicedlink preamp)
It cost me les than €20. I found the SUSIS 800 car mount on a fleemarket for €4. I already had the handles and the nuts, bolts and brackets cost €10 or so.

The key part is a second hand 'SUSIS 800' car mount. I got rid of the suction part and flipped the middel part so I could attach the manfrotto quick release plate.



Features:
- The rig can easily be adjusted in many ways to fit anyones ergonomics
- Many possibilities for mounting an external field monitor
- very well balanced
- strong
- quick release on a tripod
- set up in seconds RIG -> juicedlink with screw ->camera with Manfrotto 577 GR adaptor
- cheap (less than €20)
- ultra short parts list

nice work, looks nice and stable.

Wow...I like the look of this thing.

So are you going to show us how to build this thing and where to buy the main parts? or just sell some you make for the forums hahah

I thought I should add that it looks great though!

Another thing is I looked up that SUSIS 800 part and couldn't find it anywhere...so I wonder what could work in its place?

Looks slick mate, good build.

It is extremly easy to build. I believe any DIY-er could rebuild it if you take a good look at the detailed pictures in the Flickr set.

I have send them an email to find out how much this susis 800 costs, if they still make them. I am shure there should be other types of car-mounts that are similar and could work as well.

You can rent a SUSIS 800 here http://www.be-verleih.com/produkte/stative/susis_800

Thanks for the nice replies guys.

Just got a reply from SUSIS. Seems that the SUSIS 800 costs €135. I expected it to be a bit cheaper to be honnest.
I'd say: Let the search for more budget alternatives begin and build this kick ass RIG
