dovetail shoulder pad

[Dave Blackham]

I think allstar went the wrong way. Their solution is to have the shoulder pad slide in over the bottom of the dovetail, leaving the large dovetail plate in the set up. They should have had the top of the shoulder mount be a dovetail to eliminate that extra chunk of metal.

It seems simple, just have the top of the shoulder pad slide into the Arri base plate.

If this items becomes available, i.e. a shoulder pad that slides in to an Arri wedge, then count me in to buy one. I use the new Ronford moose bars for handles which are excellent.

Does anyone make just a shoulder pad with a dovetail on top to slide right into the arri base? I know that ET is working on a whole handheld rig for 2 grand, but it would be nice to have option of buying just the shoulder pad. I also see that Allstar has a shoulder pad but it is a screw in plate on top.
