Today setup this recoil shoulder rig the difference between this and normal shoulder rig is that you need to have a monitor or EVF due to the placement of the camera. The camera is actually on your shoulder instead of being held up in front of you. By placing the camera on you shoulder the weight be also towards your shoulder and would lessen the need of having to add a counter balance weight and making the whole setup lighter.

Can we use this monitor on an HDMI camera? They seem to be only RCA! Would a little rca to hdmi powered adapter work?
This one is only RCA as most Canon DSLR from Rebel Range don’t output HD and this is enough for those.
