SmallRig Shoulder Pad Pro Rig Kit

If you're a videographer or photographer seeking a robust and reliable support system for shoulder-mounted shooting, the SmallRig Shoulder Rig Kit (Pro) 4274 is an indispensable tool for your gear collection. This professional-grade rig kit is meticulously designed to enhance your shooting comfort and efficiency, featuring a trio of essential components: the VCT Shoulder Pad, Extension Arm, and Handle.

The VCT Shoulder Pad is the cornerstone of this kit, boasting an ergonomic silicone design that molds to the contours of your shoulder, providing a comfortable and stable base for extended shooting sessions. The pad integrates a two-layer quick-release plate for swift camera attachment and detachment, and a vertically adjustable 15mm rod clamp at the front, allowing for precise rebalancing of your camera setup. Additionally, the VCT-14 quick-release baseplate at the bottom facilitates a seamless transition between shoulder and tripod modes when used with the VCT-14 Quick Release Tripod Plate 2169.

For customized handling, the Extension Arm is a versatile addition, offering a retractable design to accommodate various shooting lengths and compact storage. The arm's NATO rail system enables smooth length adjustments from 6.6 inches to 10.2 inches, while a secure locking mechanism ensures your settings remain intact.

The Handle is engineered for ergonomic comfort, featuring a silicone surface and the ability to adjust to different angles through the ARRI rosette connection, providing a more comfortable grip and enhanced control over your camera movements.

Designed with compatibility in mind, the Shoulder Pad Pro Rig Kit supports a wide range of cameras from leading brands such as Blackmagic Design, Canon, Panasonic, and Sony. Its sturdy construction can handle equipment up to 5 lbs, making it a reliable choice for professionals who work with heavier gear.

The kit's dual rod system, with a standard 15mm diameter and 60mm spacing, includes a front-end that can be vertically adjusted by 24mm, ensuring proper lens center alignment with various camera models. The built-in Manfrotto 501 quick-release plate allows for an 80mm forward adjustment, simplifying the process of balancing your equipment's center of gravity and attaching accessories like follow focus and matte boxes without the need to dismantle your setup.

Additional features include standard M6 ARRI rosette mounts on both sides of the shoulder pad for attaching control handles or other devices, and a convenient 1/4"-20 threaded hole on the right side for mounting magic arms or additional accessories. The built-in flat wrench provides on-the-go adjustments, further enhancing the rig's practicality.
