    Seems like Gini Rigs is working on a more complete site.

    I've got a gini rig and was looking for a new shoulderpad. thanks for the alternatives above

  • tonalttonalt

    Gini has many new interesting products: http://search.ebay.com/?sass=gini-2011&ht=-1

    Especially the new cages looks interesting and a rig that has shoulder bad with mount holes.

    I think prices are very reasonable, especially for the cages.

    This one is very popular:

    I use this, cheap and very comfy! Just be careful not to rip it when you put it on:

    I have Gini Rig, but dislike the shoulder pad. I remember someone saying there was a replacement that most get.. can anyone point me in its direction?!
  • fehafeha
    Have any one tried new follow focus from Gini ?
    "New follow focus, 0.8 gear Custom made gear box"
    Any experience ?

    Here is the pic of my rig. It can be made just using tent polls $15 and plug wire clamps $10 and legos as a follow focus. I use this one when im running and gunning. I also have a blue one i use to cover wedding ceremonies in just a stationary position and its larger. The Lego follow focus is smooth and reliable.

    @TheMonk
    You could just configure it that way. How far away "behind" the rig are you planing on having the shoulder pad? I just configured a basic straight rig, is that what you are thinking off? (sorry for the crappy pic).

    @cordvision

    Do you have inline/straight versions of your rigs?
  • kazuokazuo
    I would grab one if I was looking for one! Cheap! I picked up a Gini some months ago. It's very sturdy, and the material they use is first class!
  • cordvisioncordvision
    That will still take awhile. The project is in its infant stages, and I don't have a price estimate yet. I'll let you know as soon as it's ready, but don't hold out for it since there's no shipping date as of now.

    @ cordvision

    Hit me up once you have them available. What's the estimated price? Will the 25% discount be viable?

    Thanks.
  • cordvisioncordvision
    that is actually one thing I'm working on. Shipping costs are prohibitive, so I decided to manufacture some locally. Stay tuned :)

    @ cordvision

    what about counter balance weights? Didn't see any on your website...

    Here are some pictures of the rigs :)

    Hello Everybody
    I moved from Switzerland to the U.S. a few years ago, and I'm working on getting my own small business up on its feet. I'm importing slightly customized rigs to the U.S. and I'm also working on my own accessories that get machined locally. If you are interested in a rig, and don't want to deal with overseas shipping and would prefer to have local support (if you are a U.S. resident), check my store here:

    Rod diameters should be industry standard AFAIK. 15mm I believe
  • julesjules
    my rig arrived today - took just 5 days. Looks great!

    Novice question, but are the rod diameters/clamps etc all a standard size between rig manufacturers? ie can i easily add to the rig, or would i need to buy more gini products to do that (which is hard because you don't often see single parts)
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev
    Good news.
  • hishimaruhishimaru
    So after many days of sending messages and no replies, Gini finally sent me a revised invoice for the counterbalance. Shipping cost is around 18-20 dollars if combining with the rig.

    @tonalt I sure hope they redesign it....the current model is pretty crappy....first generation stuff. Lots of backlash, can't change sides, very few adjustment....anyone interested I can put up my usual crappy video.

    Yes, the weights are easy to drill through since they're lead, sealed in a vinyl pouch. However, drilling into them exposes the lead, which could become an environmental hazard. Note that the weights come with two thin slots cut through them, which a thin nylon belt could be threaded through.
