Making some gear to help with making videos.

I'm getting a lot of comments wondering why I don't just hang the camera under the rail.
There are a couple of reasons why I don't do this:

The first is the camera has a large monitor attached and the main reason I have this is to allow me
to fine tune focus. I just can't focus using the small LCD (poor eyesight) so the monitor needs to stay. With the monitor and the cage handle the camera just wouldn't get very much closer to the floor, and
composing and focusing would be very difficult.

The second reason is all my controls for ISO, aperture, white balance, shutter release are on the top of the camera. Flipping the camera upside down obscures all these from view as well as places them in a different position from normal which would make it very difficult to make the adjustments that I need to do.
Using this platform is way faster (a few seconds), keeps the monitor on top where I can tilt it to a comfortable angle and keeps all the controls accessible and in the positions I'm used to.
