Our editorial take on the SmallRig Shoulder Pad Pro
The SmallRig Shoulder Pad Pro is designed to facilitate quick transitions between handheld shooting and tripod mounting for cinema cameras. Its core functionality revolves around a durable aluminum baseplate integrated with a silicone shoulder pad, aiming for comfort during extended use. The system features both front and back 15mm LWS rod support, which is a standard for attaching accessories such as follow focus units or matte boxes.
Compatibility is a key aspect, with the rig supporting a range of popular cinema cameras including various Blackmagic, Canon, Panasonic, RED, and Sony models. The inclusion of ARRI-style rosettes further expands its adaptability by allowing for the attachment of compatible handgrips or other accessories, though the unit itself doesn't include grips.
For tripod integration, the Shoulder Pad Pro incorporates a VCT-14 plate for quick attachment and detachment. Accessory mounting is handled via multiple 1/4"-20 threads on the baseplate, providing options for supplementary gear.
