    Quality control is fine, after all it's just a chunk of aluminum that surrounds your camera.... If anything it's overbuilt which provides all the more protection/sturdiness. Communication: like I said, it's smart to just call Tim. I know Indisystem just launched a new website which should make online orders (finally) work... But a phone call never hurts. Yes, due to the DSLR craze Indisystem has seen a huge growth surge and there are now 10 employees. I heard that emails weren't getting through due to ISP overload which caused a lot of frustration/forum complaints. But in my experience Tim is excellent with support and follow through by phone. As a shooter, Tim understands our needs and goes all out to meet deadlines. I know I appreciate that! I expect the new site and staff to help operations get smoother.

    well you know the only ones you ever hear from are the ones with problems....so I always take things like this with a grain of salt. Also the majority of those posts were from last year....so maybe he's got things straightened out.....we'll see. I'm calling now to order.....

    The Shrigg cage got me interested in IndiSystem. I was wondering about extending the setup with a shoulder pad and handle(s). So, I decided to poke around to find some reviews. I'm pretty turned off after reading this thread:

    Yes, there are some positive comments. But lots of issues with quality control and communication...
    Thoughts? Alternative POV?

    In no way Indiesystem is internet company, they are mostly phone based company :-)

    shrigg, I shot them a message yesterday (via their web site) with what I wanted (cage,DSLR riser and carbon fiber rods > $149), I requested they send a paypal invoice. I see nothing as of this afternoon 12PM US mountain time.

    @Shrigg Looks good, much cheaper than the ReWo cage too! Could you ship to the UK, and for how much?
  • OwlOwl
    About to order one, Looks great!
  • shriggshrigg
    It's powder coated (not anodized)
  • SkeptikalSkeptikal
    Is the production anodizing hard-coat (Rc >60) or standard?

    Thanks! I just designed the Shrigg cage to meet my production shooting needs, figured others might want one if it turned out the way I wanted. I've used it shooting for larger corporate clients and the little GH2 meets their approval wearing the cage. And my 65mbps 3 GOP footage was approved no problem, thanks again Vitaliy!! As far as the value, Tim Ovel of indisystem is the man to thank for the $99 price. All good stuff that I'm glad to be a part of!

    @shrigg
    Looking at his rig and the ReWo shows how good your rig is and an unbeatable value!
  • sfbay_jonsfbay_jon
    I posted the link to this site on his blog. He was surprised that people were looking at his Japanese-language site.
  • shriggshrigg
    Interesting: the maker of the Japanese GH2 cage came over here and saw the Shrigg cages, check his blog
  • shriggshrigg
    I posted on that thread asking and it's a custom, sounds like they would sell for around 80,000 yen. Did the conversion, that's $1,000 US

    See the post just after all the pictures:

    "These are not on the indisystem site yet... So anyone that wants one should just call them at (319) 504-3985 and request a paypal invoice for a Shrigg Jig"

    How much is the rods and rig package?

  • shriggshrigg
    @brianluce

    It works good as a package, a sturdy and adjustable way to add a mattebox and follow focus
