Low Profile Shoulder Rig
Maintain agility while using the Ātman Shoulder Rig. This low-profile, lightweight platform enables nimble and responsive handling. By keeping the camera low, you preserve natural movement and improve ergonomics, reducing strain on the body.
Versatile BUD Platform
The Ātman Shoulder Rig uses the wider 88mm ARRI BUD standard, integrating smoothly with BUD-compatible bottom plates such as our B4003.1056 – Universal BUD Plate and B4004.1038 – BUD Bottom Plate for the Sony BURANO. Additionally, it is also compatible with ARRI ALEXA 35, MINI, and MINI LF camera models when paired with the BUD-1 and BUD-3 bottom plates.
By integrating BUD with your camera, you can easily switch between different setups like shoulder, gimbal, and handheld. Use our full range of BUD accessories to make these transitions in seconds.
Optimal Balancing
The camera’s placement on the shoulder rig impacts the overall balance of the setup significantly. Using the ARRI BUD dovetail standard, we provide a spacious 165mm of sliding capacity, enabling you to adjust and evenly distribute weight, reducing the strain on your back, neck & shoulders.
The balance can be fine-tuned with added precision using the sliding shoulder pad situated on the frame.
For added flexibility in positioning the shoulder pad, check out the B6000.00010 – KASBAH Ātman Universal Shoulder Rig Kit (Two-Axis BUD VCT-14). This version includes a broader pad that allows adjustments in both forward/backward and side-to-side directions.
