The CCS Steady Shot is a sturdy platform that has two main functions, long lens work and video work. This rig has tones of adjustments to be able to get the exact angle you need for your shoot.
I just purchased a CCS SteadyShot - mount only delivered 09/01/21. I also own other pieces of Cotton Carrier equipment. This video is old, old, old and really doesn't show anything about adjusting the mounting brackets for best use. I realize some will depend on individual's specific camera equipment but there must be some adjustments common to any camera / lens system. For example, mounting a Manfrotto ball head or mounting a Manfrotto Quick Release. For example, when I mounted my Manfrotto 486RC2 or Alzo ball heads I notice there is no way to use a set screw to keep the base tightened to the top mounting plate. And how is the Manfrotto 323 with RC2 quick release attached to the top mount plate? What about mounting the lens mounting foot directly to the SteadyShot mount plate?
