FILMCITY FC-03 Overview

From Manufacturer

The DSLR Shoulder Mount Rig with Matte Box & Follow Focus Kit from FILMCITY enables you to comfortably support your DSLR or mirrorless camera on your shoulder. The rig comes with a shoulder support mount, a top handle, dual handgrips for added stability, a convertible camera cage, a 4 x 4" matte box, a follow focus with A/B hard stops, a 15mm baseplate with quick release plate, a counterweight, a 15mm rod set, and all the required assembly hardware.

The lightweight camera cage is made from durable polymer resin and can be adjusted based on your camera rig height from 6 to 9" high, and it features multiple 1/4"-20 accessory threads on the side. A top handle mounts on the top of the cage and can be used to carry the rig or create low-angle shots. The cage mounts onto 15mm rods, and there are additional rods and an offset Z-bracket to mount the shoulder pad on the back of the rig, so the camera is positioned in front of your body. The baseplate also mounts onto the rods and features a quick release plate for your camera.

The follow focus features A/B hard stops, a whip, and a gear ring, and it also mounts on one of the 15mm rods. The matte box features side and top flags, it can accommodate two 4 x 4" filters or one 4 x 5.65" filter, and it has a knicker on the back to accommodate lenses up to 95mm in diameter. The dual handgrips mount onto the front rods, so you can handhold the rig comfortably for long shoots.

FILMCITY FC-03 Reviews

Good rig, but needs to be more rigid

By David
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2020-08-03

Overall for the money a great rig and follow focus is a workable solution for what I am using it for but I did have to make a few modifications to make it work for me. I use it with an Fuji X-T4 with SLR Magic Micro-Prime lenses. the hood is pretty flimsy and will likely be replaced at some point in the future but it works for now. I did have to trim the square hood because it was impeding to the lens especially when I had a wide angle on. I took off the flimsy gel slots as well. The riser arms flex too much under weight so I used the brace that is actually for attaching additional gear and placed backwards on the back side in order to further secure the risers so when I pick up with the handle it doesn't flex. Again, for the money its a good rig and does its purpose and I don't feel anything is going to come apart. Overtime I'll eventually upgrade but this will certainly fit the bill until its time. I placed my Anker battery pack on top of the shoulder pad to give additional weight in the back and to have power mounted. There was no way to mount the video monitor to this rig because there was just too much flex when I had the weight of the monitor on the rig. I instead mount it to the tripod. The biggest complaint I have with it is it should be more rigid because even under light load it flexes far too much.

Asked by: Aaron
Yes, you do not have to purchase a separate camera cage with the FILMCITY DSLR Shoulder Mount Rig with Matte Box & Follow Focus Kit since there are 1/4"-20 threads on the rig to mount accessories.
