Ikan ES-T07 Tilta Blackmagic Cinema Camera Rig (Black)

Honestly, the only reason more people don't have this rig is because of the price. I decided to go for it based on the reviews and the look (not to mention the ever so handy Rec. button on the handle.. so helpful). This rig does not feel cheap, which is good because it isn't. Everything about it is sturdy and snug. The handles feel great and the wood has a coolness factor to it. I can't tell you how many people have ogled over this thing. Since its made with Anodized Aluminum, its pretty light.Comes with the cable and all tools you need to set up your camera out of the box. I also purchased the Ikan shoulder pad for it (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GYVSHK4/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2). Its like they were made for each other ;)Can't say enough good things about this rig. Just buy it already and be awesome.

This is a very well made cage. The metal is very nicely cut, and you feel like you could take your camera into war. You'll immediately need to purchase a shoulder mount and an offset to put on the bottom bars. The handles are well made, but I never use the red trigger button (it was unreliable to be honest). There are two locations for the handle placement. The one in the main photograph shown is unusable. Based on the location of the screen on the back of the camera, I don't know how you could ever feel comfortable filming with the handles there. What I did was put the handles on the lower attachments and flipped them so I could get more leverage with my shoulder mount.There are a lot of parts to this cage and assembly was difficult without proper instruction. Once I figured it out it was fine, but about a month into use I noticed that I often had to tighten some of the pieces, which takes a lot more effort than it needs to in order to disassemble and reassemble to find the loose screw.Overall I think this is well designed and very flexible with a lot of options to add accessories to your rig. The top handle is great and it's built like a tank. The Blackmagic is already very heavy, so I didn't value the weight of the cage, though it is heavy all assembled. Overall it's not without it's flaws, and it's a bit pricey, but this is probably the cage to get if you have the budget and don't want to worry about quality.
