So are these the only parts needed? it doesn't sound like it is expensive. Rig-pro sells them for $900 which is very expensive comparing it to buying the parts separately.
I would like to hear from someone with experience.

But the piece it together your self way requires you to actually create the aluminum piece so the interlock with eachother and make the support cable and fabricate all tabs and what not. So factor in your time to do all that along with the cost of the aluminum the mark up on all the other parts needed like the clamps and you will probably sit around the same price range.

DIY is only cheaper if you have the skill to fab the parts that you can not just purchase from B&H or any other retailer.
