Description of Neewer Shoulder Rig Kit for DSLR Cameras and Camcorders: Film Making System with Matte Box, Follow Focus, C-Shaped Bracket, Handgrip, and More (Blue + Black)

【Professional Shoulder Rig】 Turn your DSLR camera or camcorder into a pro filmmaking system with Neewer Shoulder Rig. Rest it on your shoulder or hold it with the top handle for low-angle shots. 15mm rods connect all the components, and the 60mm-gauge rod rails let you adjust their positions at will. 【Universal Baseplate】 Baseplate is compatible with DSLR cameras, video cameras, and camcorders via its 1/4” and 3/8” mounting threads. The quick release plate enables instant camera mounting, and the bubble level gives you precise horizontal composition. 【Matte Box & Follow Focus】 Matte box fits lenses 43–77mm in diameter. The three flags block excessive light and avoid lens glare for clear, sharp footage. Follow focus allows you to adjust the focus smoothly and accurately with one hand. 【Comfortable Handgrips & Shoulder Pad】 Anti-slip dual handgrips let you hold the rig with a firm grip while filming moving subjects, and the soft rubber shoulder pad helps reduce muscle strains after a lengthy filming day. 【Accessorize the Setup】 Multiple 1/4” and 3/8” female threads enable you to equip the rig with various devices, including microphones, monitors, flash strobes, LED video lights to facilitate your filmmaking.

Beginner friendly, Intermediate friendly

A good rig for everything from basic setups (even has a tripod mount on the bottom so you can attach it to a tripod). I've removed a few things (grip and hood) since I've had it, but I needed a little less profile for my DLSR setup. But you can easily add a more intense setup, with places to mount a monitor, microphone, C-Stick and focus tracking. Focusing is a bit fiddly, meaning you'll have to re-attach the ring to each new lens (unless you're buying several), and unless everything is fully…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE

Problem #1: Obviously you need an astrophysics degree to put this together. Problem #2: Focus Follow is complete and utter garbage. Good luck with that ring on your lens. Good luck getting the lens on the dial. The pin in the ring fell out after 5 minutes. Broken.Problem #3: Whoever came up with this seems to have a flat board instead of a shoulder. I have trapeze because I've been to the gym at least once in my life and the shoulder pad feels like it's falling off my shoulder on a steep…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Disappears

Absolutely worth the money

Could make it work with my C100 and the five star rating is based on the VALUE of the rig for my purposes. Work with the height of the camera and it's extremely adjustable and haven't had any issues. The frosted plastic box/French flag doesn't (obviously) accept filters, but it blocks unwanted light fairly well. My C100 is too big to use the top handle mount. You can see my configuration in the photo I shared. (Also note that I'm using an Atomos Ninja Blade as my monitor as the camera's LCD…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Good mounting system for use with Lumix G7 (and other camcorders)

When I first started making videos for my Facebook and YouTube channels I used the Iographer mount. My issue is that this mount couldn't support the weight or anything else I was using (VidiU video encoder, BeachTek audio mixer, gun mic, etc.) when I switched to 4K recording. This clamp was exactly what the doctor ordered. The 2.5 pound round weight on the back makes it easy to hold the camera and balance everything else I need very easily. Thought the 'extra' space around the blue handle could

Pros
  • Comfortable grips and shoulder pads
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Great for working on building a camera rig

I asked a question and got great feedback from other owners so I ordered and am very happy with it. The attachment is just what I needed. However, I made a few modifications to my rig to use a different shoulder mount. I did this because it makes heavy equipment easier to use. Not only did I change the arms at the shoulder, I also added a Manfrotto monopod to the C-arm so my operator could lower the monopod while standing during interviews to take the weight off the shoulder. When the interview

Pros
  • Professional shoulder rig
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
