Manfrotto SYMPLA Shoulder Pad

The Manfrotto SYMPLA Shoulder Pad component gives a SYMPLA video rig, a solid point of contact and support for secure and smooth off-tripod shooting, without physical strain. The anatomically curved, soft rubber-covered pad is fitted to a SYMPLA Universal Mount, so it can quickly be attached to (or detached from) SYMPLA rods.

The shoulder pad can also be attached upside down and used as a point of contact with the operator's chest or stomach especially useful in combination with the SYMPLA Fig Rig for further stabilizing hand-held shots, or when the SYMPLA rig is fitted on a monopod, to prevent unwanted movement or pivoting. The part of the shoulder pad that normally goes behind the camera operator's back has a 3/8" thread to hold one or more SYMPLA counterweights and balance the front-mounted load.
