Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)
Whilst its not Arri it does work . Shoot 35 shoulder pad with Manfrotto QR system mounted to Manfrotto long camera plate. This sits the camera at eye level on the operators shoulder.

You could easily mount the arri dovetail to the Shoot 35 shoulder pad & have a viable solution as described by the OP.
The price doesn't seem all that bad either ($400.00). How well it is made and how long it will hold-up are anyone's guess, but probably worth a look (especially if you are on a tight budget).
