There are many options out there when it comes to DSLR rigs. What is hard is that most are either large and expensive, or small, cheap, have few features. The Edelkrone Pocket Rig looks like it takes the best of both worlds and combine to make this awesome Transformer of a rig. I’d say it’s like Bumblebee, packs a lot in a small package.
It’s supposed to have been shown in NAB 2012, but the major HDSLR sites I frequent doesn’t seem to highlight this. Guess everyone’s been gaga over the Blackmagic Camera =)
So the Edelkrone Pocket Rig is just about the size of a battery grip, but it also houses a shoulder stock and 15mm rods to mount a follow focus. Yea, this is has so much cool factor. Only thing I wish is that the integrated rods have screw ends to attach longer rods as needed.
You can find the Edelkrone Pocket Rig at their website for $299, which is fairly reasonable. Hopefully, the quality is there, too.
Does anyone have this already? Any thoughts?

It looks like you can attach a quick plate to the bottom of it, so you can use it on a tripod.

Where can I get the complete package? not only the Pocket Rig but the LCD extender, the handles for the shoulder mount and the focus servo…?
On their website, http://www.edelkrone.com. I really dig their follow focus, too, and apparently, so does NAB, which awarded their follow focus “Best in class”:

I was there at NAB but I guess I missed out on their booth…so many things to see at that show. I just can’t find the parts, separate or as part of a package on their site.
I’m interested in the pocket rig, the lcd view extender and the focus.
Do you happen to know which LCD viewfinder extender they use in this video? and if not, would you recommend any in particular?
