Help Needed for Barebones Rig!

[Ryan Lightbourn]

Hey guys, I begin shooting a feature next weekend on a Scarlet rig, and I also have a R1 which I want to use for some high fps & 4.5 WS shots.

I'd like the most barebones setup possible, which I've mostly put together (see attachment).

Does anyone know of a cheap, super lightweight shoulder pad that I could add to this setup? I basically want this rig, plus something to soften the weight on my shoulder...no rod support.

Maybe something like this, but which can mount directly to the camera body (I don't want to use a bridgeplate):

Thanks!

You could always go for some velcro + this Letus 35 shoulder pad:

It's been highly rated on REDUser before.

Nice, I think that's exactly what I need...thanks Burke!

Take battery off camera, use battery belt.

put handles in a comfortable position once you figure out shoulder pad.

Wear a fleece hoodie and fold the hood under the camera on your shoulder... Works surprisingly well and adds zero weight. :wink5:
