PolarPro Pivot Shoulder Rig

Description

PolarPro's highly-anticipated Pivot Shoulder Rig was specifically designed for run-n-gun filmmakers looking for an ultra-lightweight and minimal, yet rugged, shoulder rig solution. Weighing in at under 1.8 kg, Pivot features over 6 shooting modes and fully tool-less operation, allowing you to transition from shot to shot seamlessly in seconds.

Key Features:

Quick-Release Plate

The Pivot riser features a quick-release mechanism allowing for lightning-fast video plate install/removal.

Minimal & Lightweight

The entire rig (video plate included) weighs in at under 1.8 kg and folds down to fit in most medium/large camera backpacks.

Tool-Free Operation

From over-the-shoulder to chest press, Pivot switches between shooting modes in seconds.

Shooting Modes & Setups

• Compact: Designed to fit in a backpack water bottle side pouch or be strapped to the side. This mode allows Pivot to fold down into a small footprint for easy storage.

• Setup/Pit-Crew: Flipping the handles and shoulder pad in a downward position allows Pivot to be placed on the ground with three secure points of contact, enabling easy lens swaps and camera adjustments.

• On-Shoulder: Standard shoulder rig positioning with the camera weight centred over the shoulder. This provides the most comfort and stability when using heavy setups.

• Over-Shoulder: By swinging the lower pad 90-degrees Pivot will wrap the pad over the shoulder. This greatly improves stability and helps tremendously with one-handed operation when needed.

• Chest Press: Essentially the same setup as "over-shoulder", but instead of placing Pivot up and over the shoulder, the pad is used as a contact point with the chest/stomach/hip. Great for stable low-angle shots.

• On-Tripod: By removing the shoulder pad, rods, grips, and exposing the lower video plate, Pivot can be quickly mounted to a video tripod with an appropriate head, saving time when transitioning from on-shoulder to sticks.
