Shrigg Jig Production Cage
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: http://bit.ly/pVdZ…

Special deals: Matteboxes, ND filters, ND holders, follow focuses
@Proaudio4 Check out the Shrigg Jig thread on this site. I'm a noob, but after looking at multiple $300-500 cages that comprise the 'low end', it looks like an amazing deal.

Cheap supercardioid mike
Does anyone know how this Sanhe mic would compare with an Audio-Technica ATR55 (unidirectional condenser shotgun microphone)? It's actually cheaper on eBay than the Chinese mic and I'd get it much faster.
