Camera Supports

Hi there guys.

Im looking for a shoulder mounted support for my DSLR for a filming project.

Something like this would do.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Professional-Shoulder-Support-Mount-Camcorder/dp/B007FMXK3A/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ph_2

Does anyone have any further recommendations, support or advice on this product or similar.

Thanks

WOuld the mono pod option be okay for moving footage rather than stills?

I’ve used my monopod like this but with a slightly smaller lens.

I use one that has the spring loaded rod to a belt pocket – it really helps with the heavier lenses to reduce the arm strain.

Bought mine from the “bay” place – actually bought 2 as the first one was a cheapie but gave me enough time to decide I wanted to buy a better one.

Cheapie works if you don’t need to do a lot of shooting but like everything the build quality and better ergonomics of the better one are worth the investment.

My .02 worth.
