Best Shoulder Support Rig for Canon Nikon Sony Video Cameras

  As we have seen, a shoulder rig has to be flexible to changes over time. A rig could change during the course of one project, or the course of several years. If you’ve selected the components of your rig wisely, you won’t have to purchase additional gear every time something changes.

  One of the advantages of having this guide is that it helps you foresee problems you might not have considered, and this helps immensely when choosing a rig.

  The other, equally important consideration, is one of cost. If you don’t have the budget for an expensive camera setup, then you’re obviously not going to buy the most expensive rig. For this reason, I have divided this chapter into the following areas:

  Sevenoak SK-R01 Shoulder Support Rig for Canon Nikon Sony Video Cameras Camcorders DV
  SEVENOAK SK-R01 shoulder support rig is a highly compact video tool designed for stabilizing lightweight SLR cameras and camcorders weighing up to 22lb (10KG). SK-R01 has many features, such as soft foam shoulder pad, adjustable height, flexible configuration, movable camera fixed platform, detachable handle grip and so on.
  Designed with adjustable height and flexible configuration, it can be easily adjusted for different height and left or right shoulder operation and for suiting body types. The detachable handle grip can be used as a stand-alone support for lightweight cameras.


  When used together with Sevenoak hold strap and counter weight, it makes a perfect equipment for you video.

  Detachable hand grip can be used independently
  Can be used on left or right shoulder, designed for cameras up to 5.5lbs
  Great rig for anyone who needs to do shooting in a guerrilla style with technique in public places


  All the screws are 1/4", universal for most camera and camcorder.

  One way to tackle this problem is to make the rig inside-heavy, by placing the follow focus, EVF and/or the monitor, etc., inwards. It might help slightly, but it will contribute a component to the ‘sliding off’ force. It just makes it worse!

  In my opinion, ‘mis-balancing’ the rig isn’t the right way to go about it. The right way is to tackle the second point – the shape of the shoulder pad. Get a good shoulder pad to level out the rig. If a tripod head needs to be leveled, then why not a shoulder pad?
