Show Off Your Rig – RigsEnvy.com
Alain Pilon from Canon 5d Tips just launched a cool new project, RigsEnvy. The site is designed for people to show off their individualized DSLR rigs.

Introducing RigsEnvy.com!
After a small delay, here comes my first release for 2011: RigsEnvy! What is it? RigsEnvy is like Flickr but it replaces dogs and flowers pictures with HDSLR rigs. I wanted to create a microsite for HDSLR users to showcase and talk about their rigs. The site is still in beta, but I invite you...

I wont go into the details of the...
Crappy new rigs from Red Rock Micro
I just saw on Planet5D a Red Rock Micro product announcement: the Nano rigs. Basically, these are small HDSLR rigs similar to the Zacuto Striker line but cheaper.
—Disclaimer—
I haven’t tested these rigs yet. Actually, knowning RRM order policy, it could take months before I do. They build everything in JIT mode (just in time) which...
