Well I butchered the last post, so let me retry here.
So this is a pvc shoulder rig I made with a follow focus attached. Currently I am making designs for a monitor arm/mount and shoulder padding plus weights. If you guys want instructions on how to make this I can post something.

Did a way more basic shoulder rig back in the day, also have made a handful of u cages and fig rigs. The two I was most proud of were my merlin style steadicam and glidecam version for gopros people laughed but they produced awesome results. Its funny I was on a set the other day watching the 2nd ac help the 1st ghetto rig a spot for the monitor with pieces of wood and duct tape

i have not made this exact design but it looks awesome and worth a try, simple easy rig that would be perfect for any fisheye filming. the only thing i would add is a few spots to place machine screws and wing nuts to make the design more collapse-able. also some pvc glue in other joints. finishing touch could be to sand down the pvc and add some matte black paint and this rig would be a hot piece of equipment!

I made one of these, it was real nice to use and could be disassembled pretty well. Only downside is I needed to move the screw forward so my fisheye lens didn't capture the handles, which unbalanced it a bit but that was for a camera where the the mount was directly under the lens ring
