I've spent the past couple days trying to figure out a good rail kit for my T2i.
I'm trying to find something affordable, but dynamic.

I basically want the camera to be attached with a Manfrotto quick release.
And with that on, attached to a rod base plate.
Then with 15mm rods, have hand grips on the front and a shoulder piece on the back.
Also on the rods between the hand grips and camera, a follow focus and later, a matte box.

Manfrotto Quick Release
Rod Base
15mm Rods x2
Hand Grips x2
Shoulder Brace
Follow Focus
Matte Box

I know I can find 15mm rods from many places.
I was looking at the D-Focus follow focus.
If I can't find any anywhere else, RedRock has hand grips for $22 each.
Matte Boxes are everywhere, and not a primary focus right now.

I don't know where to find or how to search for a Rod Base that I can attach a Manfrotto Quick Release to and I also don't how to find a shoulder brace that can be attachable to the rod system (besides RedRock).

Any help?
