Optimized for the Sony a7R IV camera, this SHAPE Sony a7R IV Shoulder Mount Rig protects your camera and provides multiple accessory mounting points while improving ergonomics and creating a shoulder-mounted solution to shooting with your camera. It features a CNC-machined aluminum cage designed specifically for your camera, and it includes a cable clamp to help prevent accidental pullouts and a push-button activated top handle.
The top handle features 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes as well as cold shoe mounts for attaching accessories. The included baseplate is height adjustable for compatibility with non-standard lens accessories, and it incorporates 15mm rod clamps for use with the included 18" long support rods. The shoulder pad attaches easily to the rods, cushioning the camera on your shoulder, and the back pad provides you an anchor point that helps prevent the support from shifting forward. The included handles also mount on the 15mm rods and feature the same push-button technology found on the included top handle, allowing you to quickly change the orientation of the handles without having to let go of the grip to loosen locking levers to adjust the position and then tighten them down.
The Cage for Sony a7R IV from SHAPE protects your camera without blocking access to any of your camera's features, functions, ports, or compartments. In addition, there are multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded mounting points along the sides and top of the cage, which allow you to attach accessories without stressing your camera's body. Each threaded mounting point has ARRI-compatible anti-twist divots, allowing you to use a variety of available accessories. An integrated cold shoe allows you to mount traditional accessories such as a microphone or an on-camera light, while still having access to the other accessory mounting points.
The included detachable cable clamp enables securing cables, including an optional HDMI cable, to the left side of your camera. A slotted D-ring screw allows you to easily mount the clamp without needing tools. The camera attaches to the cage with a 1/4"-20 Allen head screw, and the bottom of the cage features a single 3/8"-16 and multiple 1/4"-20 threaded screw holes for mounting on a tripod or other camera platform.

The Screw Knob's screw is a 1/4"-20 screw. If you remove the Screw Knob, you'll have yourself a 1/4"-20 screw-hole to add various 1/4"-20-mount accessories into.
