This simple, ergonomic shoulder mount is designed to be universally used with most DSLR cameras. It comes with a small baseplate to attach your camera to and from there, gives you a 15mm LWS rod setup to which you can attach the included follow focus and handles as well as other accessories. Also included is a shoulder pad with several adjustable pivot points as well as counterweights to allow you to fully customize how you’d like the pad set up. The included “15mm Rods to ¼”-20 Support Bracket” provides ¼”-20 mounting points to allow you to also attach your rig to a tripod’s quick release plate.

Baseplate

The baseplate snaps onto the rods, and provides a removable registration pin that can be positioned for an available Canon 5D or 7D.

The sliding baseplate features a 1/4"-20 captive thumb screw tie-down.

The included follow focus unit snaps on and locks to 15mm LWS rods. It features a variable tension adjustment and two adjustable hard stops, which comes in handy when working with lenses that feature unlimited focus rotation and effortless movement. This allows you to add a comfortable amount of drag to your focus knob, and the hard stops allow you to make rapid focus pulls with repeatable accuracy. When working with lenses that feature their own internal focus stops, you can use the hard stops to give you a beginning and end to a snap focus pull, lessening the risk of over shooting and "pinning" the end of the lens and damaging it. The focus-marking disk is angled, making it easier to see your marks from behind the camera or from the operators position. It includes 9" and a 15" focus whips, a crank handle, and 5 removable lens gear rings.

Universal Handgrips

The handgrip mounts to either 19 mm studio support rods or lightweight 15 mm support rods without having to use adapters or changing out support bridges. This allows you to use the same handgrip system that easily moves from one system to another. The handgrip clamps onto the rods, so it is easy to put on and remove. Unlike grips that slide onto the rods, this unit pops onto the rods, so it is easy to change its position on the rods without having to remove the matte box, follow focus, or lens supports.

The supports can be positioned to almost any available position on the support rods, so you can adjust the position to give you the optimal mix of balance, support, and comfort. The rosettes allow you to adjust the rig in almost limitless positions. Each component can be separated at the rosettes and allowing you to custom configure the system based on the needs of the shot. The ARRI rosettes allow you to use available ARRI handgrips or other available accessories that feature ARRI compatible rosettes with this unit if you wish. You can also use the components of this system to expand the capabilities of cameras and other supports that feature Arri compatible rosettes. The locking levers are "kipping" (spring loaded), and this allows you to loosen or tighten them fully, even if you cannot rotate them a full 360°.

The rubber handgrips are textured and feature the Tilta name impressed into the grip providing a slip resistant surface.
