Neel, you are so welcome and thank you for your support. I use tons of Tiffen WW ND filtration. Usually 6 to 7 stops worth. I like operating with a 1/50 degree shutter and around a 2.8.

Hi Shane,
Firstly, thanks for a great blog and spending the time posting and writing about your experiences. Its great to have someone of your skill set share!
I just have a quick question (it may have been asked before but I missed it, so I apologize). With your lightweight setup, what sort of aperture and shutter angle are you working at? I don’t see a matte box for ND’s, so I’m wondering how you get the most out of the lenses.
All the best, and once again, thanks for taking the time to read this.

Alex Huberfeld, yes I do like that rig. For your 7d if would use the 24-70mm Canon L Series zoom. Prime lenses 24,35,50,85,100mm Macro Canon L series. If you like Zeiss then I would go with the ZE lenses 18,21,28,35,50,85mm.

Dear Shane im a lone operator and want to get a low profile rig that i can pull my own focus with. I am on the cheap side and dont know what style rig to get for all purpose shooting. Should i get something like a Captain Stubling or ManCam style rig or something shoulder mounted from Redrock or the Jag35 Field Runner (http://jag35.com/new/products/the-field-runner/). Thanks Shane i would really appreciate your help.
