Forget the stupid video:
http://video.corriere.it/spettacolo-cultura/spettacoli/index.shtml?videoid=ef18df72-a884-11e0-ad5c-15112913e24f
but the camera operator there uses a very interesting tool with his DSLR camera, he seems to focus with a wheel placed on a rail which stands on a camera grip placed on his shoulders.
That seems really useful for videos! And perhaps not only videos, for instance telephoto photography could benefit I think from the shoulder support and the focusing not done directly on the lens.
Can anybody identify the tool with anything in commerce?

Check out the latest Outdoor Photographer magazine now on the news stands. There is a two page (I believe) spread on these.

My local camera shop has a rig that looks a whole lot like that on display on one of their counters. Has the focusing knob like that. It also has a four-leaf shade for the lens mounted somewhere somehow. A real contraption looking thing. Fascinating stuff for a gearhead or techie, which I suspect most photographers are -- or the old school ones at least.
