At its core, it features the multi-purpose SHIFT Baseplate and comes complete with a hand-finished walnut handgrip, telescoping top handle, and rod-mount cheese plate.
At the press of a button, the SHIFT Baseplate releases a flip-out chest support bar that helps balance the rig. When the bar is released, a soft and durable shoulder pad is also made available. When you fold it back up, it provides 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded tripod mount holes. The resting position of the bar is adjustable to different body types.

The cheese plate will allow you to mount battery plates, recorders, transmitters, receivers, and other accessories on the rear. It has mounting holes for Gold mount and V-mount battery plates and for the AJA Ki Pro and Teradek Bolt transmitters. It also has 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes for articulating arms and various other accessories, and a center slot for mounting anything with two 1/4"-20 taps spaced up to 2" apart. Two 1/4"-20 screws are included for use with the center slot. The cheese plate can be mounted either vertically or horizontally using the rod bridge included with it.
The top handle features a NATO rail and clamp design and can be secured to the rod bridge of the cheese plate when the cheese plate is mounted horizontally.
