New Camera Shoulder Mounts

The movie I'm shooting right now is a comedy mockumentary.

Much of the film is handheld, and I've decided to use the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 VC for most of the movie.
I'm also using a certain grade of LowCon filter. I've been using my Old ass Birns and Sawyer DV2000 shoulder mount like this:

I've been having a LOT of back pain
and I think I want to switch out to one of these:

They have a similar appearance to the Zacuto rigs, but seem a lot cooler because they are made by a dude in Korea and are more affordable.

I definitely want to ditch my redrock setup if anyone is interested, otherwise it should be on ebay by the holidays.
