Though I can't see the reason for having a railssystem when you plan to offset the camera from the rails anyway? Am I being stupid? :S Would love to have a closer look at the Sumo anyhow, pitty there's no Shape WLB-distributor/dealer here in Sweden. Yeah, a late thanks for the tip about the Manfrotto 143BKT.

If you'd like to email me and help me in a quick discussion it would be tremendous. There are tons of reviews out but it's best to hear from the source =) More lame questions =)

I know what an offset arm from Manfrotto is but what exactly would it be used for in the case of the WBL shoulder rig? What do you mean by offset?

It is a standard Manfrotto piece. But what you are saying is true: any camera who cant be offset wont be comfortable. Even more so if you use a viewfinder! It is an option.

I imagine it's not very ergonomical. Looking at the pictures of the WLB I can’t see an offset between the camera and shoulder support so you need to lean towards the camera, right?
