Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an air-cushioned shoulder pad better for extended handheld filming?

The air-inflated pad reduces point pressure on the shoulder and collarbone, improving blood flow and reducing soreness in long takes versus foam or rigid padding.

Will the Shoulder Pad Air MKII fit my camera rig?

The pad is designed around ARRI-style and universal 1/4"-20 anti-twist mounts, plus integrated NATO rail channels—compatible with most modern camera cages and monitor mounts, including Sony, Canon, RED, Blackmagic, and Fujifilm systems.

How does the weight compare to other shoulder pads?

The MKII model is approximately 50% lighter than the previous generation, making it one of the most portable modular shoulder pads available. (Exact weight in grams/ounces listed above.)

Can I add additional handles, rods, or accessories?

Yes, with 12+ mounting points and plus sign NATO compatibility, you can attach handles, follow focus, monitors, power modules, and articulating arms for custom rig setups.
