A: The SHAPE Sony FS7 Bundle Rig with Follow Focus is specifically for the FS7. If you mounted a C100 Mark II on it, it would be missing a right handle arm.

Q: 6. I am using the FS7m2 with the 18-105mm zoom in front, and the small inboard batteries in back, so there is a lot of weight forward. I would like the camera to balance on my shoulder. Of all the shoulder/tripod rigs, which one will allow you to move the shoulder plate the farthest forward?

A: The rigs that are specifically designed to do what you ask are the ones made by Zacuto marketed as the recoil. It will get the camera back so that you have balance. Zacuto Sony FS7 Recoil Rig B&H # ZAZS7RV2. Another way to achieve balance is have a v-mount or gold mount battery in the back.

Q: 7. Can you mount the camera to this baseplate using the center screws, shifting the camera back an inch or so, similar to the zacuto baseplate?

A: Just be aware that you will likely go through the adjustment game forever if using the shoulder mount for anything off of sticks. I know they sell an accessory wedge to place under the rear of the camera. Might be worth looking into if you are for sure going to change the screw placement.
