will this set straight on a shoulder rig with a matte box?

I am not sure, but I would guess it would be awkward at best and probably not work so well. It would depend on the specifics of the shoulder rig. The unit extends from the back of the camera and I use it by holding the camera at eye level in front of me. The distance is 5" from the back of the camera (the LCD screen) to the eye piece.

Not a 100% sure. It uses 2 small screws to attach to gear so if your shoulder rig has two small screw holes then very possible.

Yes, but you'll only be able to use it in DX mode. In FX, it will vignette at wide angle.

Yes it will, had to do some basic alignment, no gun smithing required, solid mount

As long add you're using matched monitors it shouldn't be an issue. The mounts all rotate.

I don't believe it will. The release lever on this piece relies on the bottom area being open. You would be mounting this on what looks to be a larger plate, so you would have no area below the adapter to swing the release because of the plate, and you'd have no area above it because of the camera body. If, by some miracle, the Manfrotto plat is larger than the Cowboy platform you'd be okay. Just understand you add another level of complexity when trying to balance your setup. Once it IS set, it should afford you the ability to mount and dismount the camera quickly and return to the same balance point.

Yes. Absolutely. I also boughtc a matte box, follow focus, cheese plate and additional L bracket to extend the rig. It turns heads when i walk around with it. It's easy to maneuver with and looks highly professional.

I have a flat top with offset front sight, but with the Nikon mounts it should not impede the reticle or center of target but it will show in the site picture.

Technically yes, but it is not matte. You will definitely see your reflection in it under certain angle/lighting conditions.

I thinks so, although I have not used it on a large matte. Time, patience and a de-tangler should do it. Always worth a try.

It will fit about anything. Keep in mind, if you use a rail system, it will put your camera off-center which can be a problem with a rail-mount matte box.

Yes, the box is flush with the frame and the panel could be mounted on a flat surface.

Hello David,Yes, you will be able to pivot the mount between landscape and portrait.Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

No. The matte box adjustment for the rails will not extend that far up. You will have to adjust the baseplate. Tried it with my t4i. Still a good product though. Matte box is cheap but gets the job done.

no.You need a perfectly flat area (preferably a corner) to get a good mount. My bench had a small lip on the edge so this vise was returned.

Depends on the cameras/lenses. I think having one on each shoulder would balance well if both were about the same weight. But if you're using really big lenses on full frame cameras, that would probably be too much bulk.

I'm not sure. I have a low pro front block. I'm sure it won't fully clear but should co-witness
