Alternative for Manfrotto 577 Rapid Connect Adapter in rigs?

QuickHitRecord — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 13:39:36 +0000

Incorporated into a straight rig, the Manfrotto 577 Rapid Connect Adapter just slightly offsets the camera from the the rods (see picture) so that they no longer line up in a straight line. It's a nuisance. Anyone know of a cheap Chinese alternative that accepts Manfrotto's standard 501PL plates that won't do this?

I'm really impressed the IndiSystem AIRSupport and am thinking about getting it for my GH2. Anyone have any experience with this? It's $399, weighs only 3lbs, and comes with everything you see here:

12" Carbon fiber rods

Height adjustable camera block

Shoulder-mount/shot-gun brace

Front adjustable handles

Thumb controlled friction follow focus

Matte box w/ No-Drop French Flagtm
