The Create Shoulder Rig and Universal Dovetail Kit gives you a clean and simple rigging setup for static and moving shots. The entire shoulder rig can be mounted to a VCT-14 tripod, or the Universal Dovetail can be detached for lightweight transitions to DJI gimbals or Manfrotto tripods.

With an adjustable shoulder pad made from EVF foam and rubber, the Create Shoulder Rig offers convenience and comfort for any shooting setup.

Designed to optimise balance and customisation possibilities, the Create Shoulder Rig and Universal Dovetail Kit gives you the best foundations for your camera rig.

Shooting Made Easy

It can be confusing as a filmmaker when juggling multiple setups: the different dovetail standards and fine-tuning of your rig can drag out the downtime on set. The Create Shoulder Rig and Universal Dovetail Kit helps remedy that: with a modular setup that makes it effortless to swap between gimbals, tripods and shoulder-mounted shooting. Mount the entire Shoulder Rig to a VCT-14 tripod, or quickly detach the Universal Dovetail and mount it seamlessly to a DJI gimbal or Manfrotto tripod.

Find the Right Balance

When using the Create Shoulder Rig and Universal Dovetail together, you have complete control over the positioning and balance of your rig. The Universal Dovetail’s central channel allows you to slide the camera back-and-forth, and the dovetail itself can be precisely positioned on the Shoulder Rig (with safety stops to prevent it falling off complete). And to minimise shoulder strain, the shoulder pad can be positioned in four places.

Adjustable Shoulder Pad

There’s more to that shoulder pad than meets the eye, too: the Create Shoulder Rig features an EVF foam pad with a rubber coating, for a combination of flexibility and rigidity – ideal for shoulder rigs. It helps cushion your camera setup for those long shoot days, with design that can be reversed or repositioned to suit your shoulder.

Get a Grip

With the foundations that this Kit provides, there are plenty of customisation options for the Create Shoulder Rig. There are MAP M4 mounting points along the side, as well as ARRI rosettes for attaching handgrips such as those in our KASBAH range. If you find that the handles are too close for comfort, use the included Drumstix support rods in this kit to put some distance. Adjust the 15mm rod bracket at the front to the optimal height easily, to ensure that your grip is always comfortable.
