Q: 4. How does this work with a Canon C200?

A: You could use this system with the C200. However the baseplate is really geared more towards use with a DSLR or smaller camcorder. The SHAPE Offset Rig for Canon EOS C200 would be a much better option, BH #SHC200OF. https://bhpho.to/2Z9dT2V

Q: 5. which counterweight works with this?

A: The SHAPE Counter Weight, BH #SHPADCW1, is compatible with the SHAPE COMPOSITE F3.

Q: 6. Will this work with a NEX_FS700?

A: Hello Christian,Our Composite F3 could work with the FS700, but since that camera has a viewfinder which is centered behind the camera, unless you're going to shoot with an EVF attached on the side, you might find the configuration a bit awkward. May we suggest you take a look at our COMPOSITE STABILIZER... this configuration is offset, therefore allowing you to have the camera's viewfinder in front of you.a href= http://www.shapewlb.com/en/product/camera-supports-and-accessories/baseplates/dslr-camera-supports/composite/dslr-stabilizer_3.aspx?id_page_parent=1 target= _blank http://www.shapewlb.com/en/product/camera-supports-and-accessories/baseplates/dslr-camera-supports/composite/dslr-stabilizer_3.aspx?id_page_parent=1/aWe hope this helps and we thank you for your interest in our products.The SHAPE team

Q: 9. How bad is the locking mechanism of this shockmount? (some users say it doesn't lock well) Can you do something to solve this?

A: Some users have mentioned having issues with the locking mechanism on the Rycote Universal Shotgun Mount for Cameras and Boom Poles. Perhaps you may want to try a different universal shockmount for a shotgun microphone. We have the Auray DUSM-1 Universal Shockmount for Camera Shoes and Boompoles (B&H # AUDUSM1), which has a 3/8" female thread on the bottom of the shoe mount. A 5/8" thread adapter like the Auray AD-5838-B 5/8"-27 Female to 3/8"-16 Male Mic Stand Adapter (B&H # AUAD5838B) can be added to attach it to a mic stand.
