SHAPE Creator Camera Cage Shoulder Mount Kit with Matte Box and Follow Focus for Canon EOS C50

This Creator Camera Cage from SHAPE provides an adaptable foundation for building out a complete Canon EOS C50 cinema rig while preserving functionality. CNC-machined from aluminum, the cage secures to the C50 via multiple 1/4"-20 mounting screws and integrates a modular base/side plate with a dedicated top plate for reinforced protection and mounting flexibility. Multiple anti-twist 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes with ARRI-style locating patterns support the attachment of monitors, wireless receivers, articulating arms, and other production accessories.

A built-in NATO side rail enables fast, tool-free mounting of compatible side handles and clamps, while the top-mounted cold shoe accommodates microphones, compact lights, or wireless units. The cage incorporates an Arca-Swiss quick release base for rapid transitions between tripods, gimbals, and handheld operation. An integrated HDMI cable clamp with thumbscrew tightening prevents accidental disconnection during shooting, and the design maintains unobstructed access to the C50's hot shoe, controls, ports, memory card slot, and battery compartment.

Expand the flexibility of your camera rig and lighting setup while avoiding lens flares and keeping lights out of frame with the compact Swing-Away Matte Box from SHAPE. Adaptable installation options allow the matte box to have a straight, swing-away, or clip-on configuration, and a removable silicone shade box increases customization for the optimal setup of your rig. Its aluminum and carbon fiber construction is lightweight, and the included rod block is height adjustable by tightening the knobs, making it compatible with lenses up to 124mm in diameter.

A removable carbon fiber top flag prevents flares in bright sunlight, and additional adapter rings further customize the size of the matte box's opening, ranging from 67 to 87mm. A fabric knicker secures the area where the matte box and your camera lens connect to prevent light from peeking through.

Use the compact SHAPE Follow Focus Kit with Single 15mm Rod Clamp with your camera setup to make focus pulling easy. The modular design allows you to add and remove any of the components without screws or tools, and its small profile allows the addition of a matte box or accessories around your lens.

At the core of the kit is a rubber, anti-slip follow focus wheel attached to a single aluminum 15mm rod clamp. The clamp rotates to adjust to most lens sizes, and it's tightened by a locking lever. The clamp's rotation also allows the focus wheel to easily swing out of the way when changing lenses.

Five drive gears are included to fit a variety of lens sizes: 0.5 MOD/78T, 0.6 MOD/64T, 0.8 MOD/38T, 0.8 MOD/43T, and 0.8 MOD/78T. The gears can be flipped from front to back to facilitate different lens configurations. A 49mm rubber friction wheel is also included for the 0.5 MOD/78T gear which is most commonly used with DSLR lenses.

For alternate fine-focus configurations, use the included speed crank or 11" whip, both of which attach to the center point of the knob. Four magnetic marking disks are included to attach to the focus wheel.

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.

This pair of 15mm Aluminum Rods from SHAPE connects to your camera rig, extending it and letting you add compatible accessories. With these two rods and a few fundamental accessories, you can begin building your own rig from scratch.

The rods are each 15mm in diameter, 18" long, hollow, non-threaded, and made of reliable aluminum with a silver finish.
