Re: Shoulder Mount reccs for Ex1

Chris, this is EXACTLY the support I have and it's saved my life on two documentaries which involved moving around in restricted space with no time to erect a tripod. It is light and can be attached and detached in seconds. I too have the tripod quick release add on so if tripod use is needed it takes no time at all to swop over.

Craig has a point about needing to fish it out of the bag but it's so light it can almost be attached to one's body if you are scared to lay it down somewhere handy, it's not all that attractive for anyone to steal. The 'breathing' problem is valid with this and I've got blue in the face holding my breath on occasions and you can't get the camera high enough for interviews so beware of 'the nostril syndrome'. Philip Bloom used to demo this on his site but I haven't checked if it's still on. I repeat, for me it's been a lifesaver.
