Zacuto Recoil Pro V2 Rig for Sony FS7 MkII Camera

The Sony FS7 II Recoil Pro V2 is a shoulder rig designed specifically for the Sony FS7 II camera. This is a Next Generation Recoil rig designed for optimal balance and comfort when shoulder mounted or on a tripod. With lenses and cameras being similar weights, the balance point is where the lens meets the camera body. In a shoulder mount rig, the balance point needs to be directly over your shoulder which puts the camera behind you. The Recoil rig adjusts for that balance point and relocates focus, monitoring and camera controls forward, creating a lighter, shorter and properly balanced rig. The Sony FS7 Recoil Pro V2 shoulder-mounted rig includes our VCT Pro baseplate, the FS7 II Trigger Grip to relocate the Sony FS7 II handgrip, a LANC extension cable and our Axis Mini for Sony FS7.

VCT Pro Baseplate
The VCT Pro baseplate is compatible with all cameras including Canon EOS C-series, Sony FS5/FS5 Mark II and FS7/FS7 Mark II, AJA CION, BlackMagic, Panasonic EVA1, Panasonic Varicam LT, RED cameras, Arri Alexa and Amira, DSLRs, Mirrorless and more The VCT Pro has a built-in, curved shoulder pad and an Arri M6 rosette for accessories and grips. It comes with quick-release, extendable 6.5" rods at the front and lightweight spaced quick-release rod ports at the back. The v-wedge tripod connector is compatible with VCT14 tripod adapter plates or use the 1/4 20 and 3/8 16 screw holes for direct connect to your tripod quick release plate.

The red sliding top plate offers easy adjust-ability for lens changes, removing your camera and balancing your rig correctly on your shoulder. This sliding plate combined with a double screw track offers 10" of camera balance sliding range. You can quickly release your camera from the rig by sliding the red plate completely off and using our VCT Pro Dock to quickly transition it to a tripod, slider, etc. The lightweight, adjustable rod mount is set far back in the plate, offering plenty of accessory-capable area under the camera lens. This allows you to position your camera further back on the plate, keeping the balance point of your rig directly over your shoulder. The sliding track of the rod riser offers 25mm of vertical adjustment.

The shoulder pad portion of the VCT Universal is set as far forward on the plate as possible, also to maximize your accessory capable rod area and aid with balance. The VCT Universal Baseplate is the core of our Next Generation Recoil rigs, designed for balance and comfort for every camera. Keeping the camera low prevents already tall cameras from being too top heavy. With our VCT, the distance from the bottom of your camera to your shoulder is just 3/4 inch.

FS7 II Trigger Grip
The FS7 II Trigger Grip is the most adjustable handgrip specifically for the FS7 II. It allows for single-handed 360deg. rotation with the simple press of a trigger. Flip it down for a low, rock-solid handgrip. Raise it up for more of an Aaton style position. Or quickly flip it all the way up to set your camera flat on the ground or for storing in a case. The FS7 II Trigger Grip attaches to your rig or camera via an M6 Rosette - the industry standard. The VCT Pro has a built in M6 rosette to give you a rock solid connection. It is 11.5" long with 6" of length adjustment. The handgrip allows 360deg. of rotation to adjust the handgrip into the perfect position for combatting fatigue.

Axis Mini for Sony FS7
The Axis Mini for Sony FS7 and Sony FS7 II is the most adjustable ENG style mount for the Sony FS7 Monitor, giving you full 360 deg. motion with four adjustment points. Designed to attach to the FS7 Rod Lock, it leaves plenty of room at the lens for focusing and will work with the widest of lenses. It can easily be adjusted with one hand while the rig is on your shoulder. The Axis Mini has extensive articulation for use in a variety of positions, both shoulder mounted in a Next Generation Recoil or in tripod operating position. It is very small and quick to install and remove.
