Zacuto's Double Barrel throws in everything but the kitchen sink to deliver the most stable, versatile, rootin'-tootin' DSLR shoulder-mount handheld rig you'll see this side of a Texas throw-down. Mashing together the Cross Fire with the Fast Draw and adding dual grips and a Z-Finder Pro 2.5x, the Double Barrel gives you the ability to virtually wear your DSLR to the shoot (like a good set of Colt .45s). In fact, with an infinitely adjustable assortment of rods, handgrips, and baseplate--plus an LCD viewfinder, counterbalanced shoulder pad, and smooth-as-glass follow focus--you'll have little to do but point, shoot, and find someone to get your coffee.

Comments about Zacuto Double Barrel:
I love the sturdy construction of this support system. The counter weight makes it nice and steady. After long use it does start to get a bit heavy on your shoulder though. And personally, I would like a little more distance between the shoulder pad and the camera mount.
Overall, I'm glad I bought it.

Comments about Zacuto Double Barrel:
I recently used this product filming icebergs and whales in Alaska from a moving zodiac/ship, and I was very impressed with how stable I was able to hold the camera. The soft shoulder pad and counterbalance is perfect, and the dual handle grips makes shooting a breeze. I have been looking for a solution to film from zodiacs for a while, and this is my favorite.
I will add that the DSLR handle makes carrying the rig around very handy. I had a big grin on my face all the time, because I had finally found a quality made product that worked shooting on location.
