Bought this together with the starter kit to try out a central source. It's rock solid on the rods and the battery is snug. The coiled cables are really nice and labeled appropriately. The only thing not good was the dummy Canon coupler. poor quality, in two pieces when it arrived. But it didn't matter, I couldn't use it on my Zacuto EVF or 7" monitor since the cable came out at the side. Impossible to mount. Otherwise I'm very happy!
