Cheap Shoulder Pads?

[Michael Ragen]

Can anyone provide a link to a cheapish Arri dovetail style shoulder pad or something that will work with the 15mm baseplate. It doesn't need to have a handle system. I'm mostly looking for a temporary solution until I see what Element has to offer. Thanks.

These work great, and are not camera dependant so you can use it with red, a 535, or whatever.

I believe Reduser member Dmacleod shot most of his award-winning movie Civic Duty using one of these.

If you don't want to spend the 50 bucks, I find Velcro and case-foam work very well. (Yes Panavision, that is where all the lid foam from your Pelican cases went. Sorry.)

Abel sells that camera comfort cushion as well. It's very comfortable and you can add or subtract the foam layers within to your comfort level. Wear two and look like a linebacker!
