The Redrock microShoulderMount is the perfect solution for an affordable, high quality run-and-gun style rig. Whether you have a 35mm lens adapter, ENG-style video camera, or a small format video camera, the microShoulderMount can deliver the support and comfort you need for handheld shooting.

 

New standard in price/performance for shoulder supports

The microShoulderMount delivers a high quality, cinema-grade shoulder mount at a fraction of the price of similar solutions. The standard bundle includes not only the handgrips and shoulderpad, but also offers extension rods for the handgrips, removable rod clamp, and an optional microMount connector for attaching your on-camera monitor or other accessory in a convenient place on your rig.

 

Ultra configurable

Virtually every element of the microShoulderMount can be adjusted to align and balance it for your rig. Almost all adjustments are made using thumbscrews, and can be further tightened with wrenches for added confidence.

The microShoulderMount has a unique shoulder pad that can be separate from its rod clamp for mounting beneath an existing rod plate (a common configuration for 35mm adapter setups). The hand grips, camera, and shoulderpad can all be adjusted to fit your body and shooting style.

 

Adaptable to a wide range of cameras and shooting styles

The microShoulderMount can be adapted to just about any style of shooting or camera.

  • The handgrips and shoulderpad can be integrated onto your existing 15mm rod system for a compact setup.
  • For maximum flexibility, the optional microShoulderMount can be run on a separate set of rods beneath your rig for quick attachment or removal of the shouldermount support.
  • For ENG style cameras with an integrated shoulderpad, the handlebar, grips, and rod clamp can be attached directly to the camera while using the camera's own shoulder pad.
  • For setups requiring precise balancing, the rod clamp can be separated from the shoulder pad, so the camera and shoulderpad can be moved independently on the rods.

The microShoulderMount is not a replacement for a baseplate system (such as a microSupport baseplate required for the microMatteBox) but is compatible with and configurable to an existing baseplate incorporate the microShoulderMount support system.

The microShoulderMount standard bundle can be used with your existing rods and M2 setup
