The Shoulder Mount from SHAPE is an adjustable, lightweight, and compact 15mm LWS shoulder mount rig designed for the Sony PXW-FX9 camera. The rig is built around the baseplate and a set of four 8" 15mm rods, and it includes quick release handgrips, a shoulder pad, and a back pad.
The baseplate can be used to mount your camera or additional baseplate, there are tripod mounting threads underneath, and the 18" long 15mm rods pass through the baseplate. For shoulder-mounted shooting, handles and a shoulder pad are included to mount onto the front and back of the rods. The handles feature rosettes and SHAPE's patented spring-loaded push-button technology that lets you quickly adjust the angle of the grips on the fly with just the push of your thumb. For additional support and comfort, a back pad is also included that attaches to the rear of the shoulder pad.

The baseplate includes a pair of 12" 15mm rods that insert through the length of the baseplate and are secured with a locking thumbscrew. There are rubber pads on the top of the plate to protect your camera from scratches and prevent twisting.
