Camera support help

Hey, I'm thinking about buying a camera support with 15mm rods, for the folllow focus. I own a nikon d5100 and a normal tripod, and I want a camera support that fits both camera and tripod and allows me to keep it if I change my camera.
Does anyone know's one cheap that I could buy that fits my camera and tripod? I'm starting at filmmaking and I don't really know what to buy.
Thanks
 
Be very wary of buying cheap systems. I was about to buy a shoulder rig system manufactured in India until I did my due diligence and read lots of reviews. Many people complained about the poor quality aluminium leading to bent rods. In the end I went for Lanparte - made in China by a company that mostly makes helicopter and race car parts. Reasonable prices for the quality. I'm in France but have been buying various bits from CineGearPro (http://www.cinegearpro.com/) in the UK, who have very reasonable shipping costs. Rather than buying a whole shoulder rig, I'm buying bits as I find I need them.

The first piece I bought would fit your needs: http://www.cinegearpro.com/lanparte-universal-adjustable-high-riser-baseplate-v1-96.html

That gives you a baseplate that will attach to any tripod and camera. It has the rods and you can add whatever else you need later.
