I use two AWB stabilization kits on my camera, both of which have been extremely beneficial. The standard kit attaches on top of the front and rear standards. A custom designed kit attaches the rear standard to the base. If you call or write to him, possibly he can also design something specific to your needs.

No matter how cool that is.
Randy, I emailed Alan a couple of years ago and he got right back to me.

I'm just wondering about the workflow. So you focus, adjust movements, and refocus if necessary. Then clamp on the stabilization device. If you need to refocus it's loosen the stabilization rod and retighten after refocus or re adjust movements. It might be prudent to re-check focus after clamping the rod.
Notes: 1) You could also use the rod to rig a bellows support to prevent sag. 2) Be careful with a wind break umbrella. If it's attached to the camera support the whole thing could be toppled in the wind.
I can see some advantage with this system with cameras that have different sized front and rear standards. It needs double the number of screw tensionings compared with the side support system. Side support is mechanically a more effective system as the bracing rods are directly above the standard/base connections. And, of course, the materials and colour will look out of place on traditional wood/brass cameras.
Thanks Roger. That's good to hear. I address this and more in my Rant.
I emailed this outfit about a week ago and have heard nothing.
