Does anyone on here use their DSLR for film? Do you have recommendations for a rig?

Yeah, some do. But since I have the money, I think I'd like to spend it on a nice rig. I wanna look legit.

I used a 5D as a second camera and where a lighter cam was needed for a recent film. Use DSLRs 4 video projects all the time.

I like the versatility & modular design of Zacuto's rigs but like the feel of Redrock Micro more.

I go for practicality over looks when buying a rig. Also helps to know what types of shots you'll be using it for.

Nice summer reel! Totally dig the use of Timestretch! Ok, awesome. You ever heard of a company called JAG35.com?

thanks! I've been using a lot more dubstep in my productions lately. Heard of jag35 but never used them.

I know they started out making 35mm adapters but since that market is basically dead, I assume they make support rigs now?

Yeah, they're based here in LA (Rancho Cucamonga). I think I'll use a ProAim rig, FF, Mattebox, shoulder system, top handle, then
