The Canon C70 Shoulder Mount from SHAPE combines a C70 15mm LWS baseplate with handgrips, a shoulder pad, a behind-the-shoulder pad (Back Pad), and 18" rods. When purchased separately, the baseplate normally comes with 12" rods, but in this kit, they're replaced by 18" rods. The baseplate is designed to match the optical center of the C70. It includes a camera adapter plate with two 1/4"-20 screws to firmly mount your camera. On the bottom, the baseplate offers multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 tripod mounts. It also comes with an HDMI clamp that attaches to the side.
The included Quick Handle dual handgrips mount on the 18" rods and are individually adjustable at the push of a button next to each one. The Back Pad attaches to the shoulder pad, securing via a large screw knob on the shoulder pad to provide additional comfort. It has thick padding that rests against the back of your shoulder, allowing you to hold the full rig more securely. For optimal comfort, the Back Pad can be vertically adjusted 2". Also, it features two 1/4"-20 threads on the bottom for attaching optional counterweights and other accessories.
An optional SHAPE Counter Weight can alternatively be attached to the shoulder pad in place of the Back Pad, attaching to the shoulder pad's screw knob.
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.
