Really great shoulder rig for my BMPCC4K. Very well built and versatile for many situations. Good strong locks with no give on them once tightened. Very competitive pricing, really nothing that compares in quality for the price.The Matt box they have Also attached nicely on my 18-35 1.8.Over all very happy customer!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Fundamentally Flawed!
*by R***H on 16 July 2024*

I tried for several weeks to make this shoulder rig work for me but I came to the conclusion that it’s a fundamentally flawed system and creates more problems than it solves.For a shoulder rig to do its job the bulk of the weight needs to sit on your shoulder, this means the camera needs to sit at the back of the rig. There lies the first problem, on a full frame camera you need a 50mm lens so you don’t end up with the front of the rig in shot. You can push the camera forward but then the weight shifts and you end up with all the weight on your wrists. With the camera set back you need an external monitor that has to be positioned in a way which doesn’t place it in view of the lens.I did try experimenting with some different parts so I could angle the rods downwards but with focussing and monitoring then becoming problematic and expensive I just gave up on it. Don’t forget the constant high angle of being on your shoulder which is again far from ideal.In the end I went with dual hand grips either side of my camera and the Smallrig chest accessory so I could pull the camera against my chest for stability. Combined with the IBIS in the Z6ii it’s perfect. This setup works well and I can see the LCD, settings etc and can easily access all of the camera controls.The build quality from the Smallrig shoulder rig is great, I just think it’s a flawed system and not really much use, YMMV.
