Support your Sony a7S III or a7 IV mirrorless camera for handheld shoots with the Shoulder Mount Kit from SHAPE. The kit includes an aluminum camera cage, a wood-lined top handle with push-button adjustment, a baseplate with a 15mm LWS quick release rod system, a lens support bracket, a V-lock adapter, an HDMI cable clamp, two 18" 15mm rods, dual handgrips with push-button adjustment, a shoulder mount, and a back pad.
The cage and top handle provide numerous mounting points for accessories, including 1/4"-20 threads, 3/8"-16 ARRI-style accessory mounts, shoe mounts, and a 15mm rod port. The camera mounts onto the baseplate, which features an integrated 15mm LWS rod clamp for the included 15mm rods and a V-lock adapter. The dual handgrips mount onto the front of the rods and can be quickly adjusted using the push-button design. A shoulder pad mounts onto the back of the rods for a comfortable fit, and a back pad attaches to add security and counterweight.
The Shape Quick Handle + Rod Block is a professional video stabilization accessory with 2 camera handles, each providing an individual rotation angle of 360°. You can attach the handle to the camera platform using a simple screw knob. A simple push button located at the articulation allows easy attachment and removal.
Combined with the anodized aluminum Rod Block, the Quick Handle offers composite camera support for all 15mm rods. You can achieve precise positioning by sliding the Quick Handle along the rods and tightening the small red knob located on the Rod Block. With 2 screw-threaded holes, the Rod Block provides for attachment of components such as the Quick Handle.
The SHAPE Mini Composite Shoulder Pad is a comfort-padded and comfort-shaped shoulder pad for the back of your camera rig. Outfitted with a 15mm-mount SHAPE Rod Block, the pad attaches right onto a pair of 15mm rods, slides into the best position on them, and tightens in place by a quality lever. It also has a black Screw Knob under which you can add a SHAPE Counter Weight or a SHAPE Back Pad, both optional and both back-supported accessories that work as extensions of the shoulder pad. 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.
The Back Pad from SHAPE is a standard rig component included with most SHAPE camera rigs. Its design features a powder coated anodized aluminum plate and arm which are attached to a thick padding on the side facing the user. The pad is easy to both attach and remove from your rig, and it supports the SHAPE BOX attachment. Additionally, the pad's position can be adjusted to the user's preference – up to 2" vertically and 360° horizontally.
