Great Fit for my Canon C300 Mark III

By Eric
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-31

I looked into several shoulder mount systems and ultimately landed on this well-designed VCT Shoulder Base Plate. While it did cost a bit more than what I originally budgeted, I pulled the trigger and I am so glad I did. 8Sinn created a winner here, and I am so excited to use it. I noticed when unboxing how light it is. I added front and rear rods and mounted my C300 Mark III on the included Manfrotto-style plate. I attached a Zacuto counterweight on the rear rods, follow focus on the front rods, and within just a few minutes I ended up with a perfectly balanced rig. I plan on buying a V-Mount plate and battery to attach to rear rods later when I need the power. I am blown away with the quality of materials and the design, well worth the money since this is one of those items you buy and use for years and years.

Light and Study.

Two questions: has anyone tried this on a VC-U14 to see if it fits? Also- is there a threaded tripod hole on the underside of the camera quick release in case I want to use it off the big tripod on a smaller monopod for mobile shots?
Asked by: Mike
This should work well with any VCT Style Plate, such as B&H # EIPS. It also does have both 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 threads under it.

Is the shoulder pad slanted, meaning is it ...

Is the shoulder pad slanted, meaning is it thicker on one side than the other so it fits ergonomically the shoulder? Or the thickness is the same from left to right? Thanks
Asked by: Anh Minh
This pad is not slanted. It is the same thickness on both sides of the pad.

Hi, I saw from Stone's review that the 501 plate set up seems a bit picky about what "501" plates actually fit. I have Manfrotto 501 plates and Sachtler 501 plates. Will they NOT Fit?
Asked by: Robert
The Manfrotto and Sachtler 501 plates are compatible with the 8Sinn Shoulder Base Plate's sliding 501PLong-type top plate.

Does anyone know exactly which replacement 1/4-20" screws work with this shoulder kit?
Asked by: Weston
This Manfrotto Set of Two 1/4" Camera Mounting Screws should work well with this system, BH #MAR116.138. https://bhpho.to/2ScM5ZB
