My friend James Wvinner of www.YTCfilms.com needed a DSLR rig that was good for both lock-down shooting on sticks and for handheld. He was preparing for some heavy-duty multi-cam shoots and wanted something that had a lot of possibilities for expansion and space for add-ons. I contacted Brian Valente from Red Rock to help us out and he put together a custom rig configuration in no time flat. The way we had the battery plate mounted in the back, it balances out the rig for shoulder-mount applications, plus the AB batteries can power both the camera and the on-board monitor at the same time. With a quick release, the rig come apart and plops right into place on the fluid head. Gotta love it!

I'll ask James if he can bring the rig into the next DSLR Boot Camp on August 21st: www.canonbootcamp.com
