Introducing the RED Shoulder Rig System

[AnthonyFlores]

Had a chance to hang out a bit with Ketch today. I must say, the new RED handheld system is badass. The chest and back support pads can adjust to your body and keeps the camera secure enough that you can let go hands free.

Wow, that looks a LOT more balanced than any other rig out there ... and I've played with or tried a lot of the popular. Hopefully this becomes readily available by NAB time ...

Thanks Paul,

no, this current version of the Red Dovetail, does not have any locks on either side, to prevent the camera to slide off once the
release mechanism is pushed Released, but since this is a Prototype that the guys at Red give me to play with, I am sure that the
production units will have it, obviously screwing one Allen Bolt at one end of it is the easily part, same as int he ones form ET,
but a push release one will most likely be added by Red on the entry point,

However, if you look closely, the Leveler once becomes Pushed lock, it remains in Parallel position with the EPIC SSD Module,
therefor making it impossible to bump in to it and accidentally release it and making the camera slide off

Cool Thanks for the detailed reply Ketch!

Cheers from Tokyo,

Paul

Can the shoulder rig handles be offset to one side? ie) the left handle further out to the left with the right handle closer to the rods. Some rigs allow this and it's great for having both hands straight out from the body rather than biased to one side. This also makes a smaller profile which is great for tight spots. I think All Star has this capability as well as Ronford's when you add a cotton wheel to one side.

From what I remember when I was at Ketch's place last week, those are the same Costco shelves I have. They're great - very strong. I don't know if Costco still carries those exact shelves though...
