Anybody find a cheaper solution than the croiziel rod holder setup?
Might be adding a second full size camera and want a second rod system to hold the matte box.
Need the two rods and the attachment to the base of the camera.

I haven't priced 'em, but I've seen some Vocas rod holders/plates on cameras. Personally I prefer clamp-on matte boxes, they suite my shooting style much better, but I may be having to get a rod mounted matte box, I can't really find a clamp-on that allows me to use the full wide-end of my lens(13x4.5) in HD/16:9.

I got the handgrip w/rods, Sony plate, & matte box support for about $600 (if memory serves).
A mattebox support from VOCAS, the MBS-100 is costing about 300 US Dollar. It comes with 2 short rails, and 2 longer rails.
