It IS pricey! I wonder if a local machinist couldn't make something similar. I checked out the video at the link you provided and it looks 'easy' enough to make up. I'm in no way a welder or machinist :) Maybe Zacuto or Letus should look at making something like this available in N. America, no? Awesome. It IS pricey!

Why do you think they asked a cinematographer instead of going with a photographer. This is very interesting considering they could have done all of those shots with just photos.
