SHAPE DSLR KIRK NEFF OFF-SET RIG DSLRKN2

The DSLR Kirk Neff Offset Rig from SHAPE is a 15mm rod, shoulder-mount solution designed for DSLR or other compact cameras. The offset design places your camera's LCD screen in front of your eyes for easier viewing while shooting. Centered around the DSLR Kirk Neff Baseplate 2.0, the rig features a rod offset bracket, and a pair of 10" and 12" long 15mm rods that support the included shoulder pad and handgrips. The shoulder pad and handgrips can be removed for tripod-mounted setups.

Your camera attaches to the baseplate via a V-lock quick-release camera plate. The plate is also compatible with third party support systems that utilize the V-lock interface. The baseplate provides clamps to support one of the 15mm rod pairs, allowing you to the dual handgrips in front of the baseplate, as well as the rod offset bracket behind it.

The Quick Handle Rod Bloc provides dual handgrip support and features SHAPE's push button rosette release, which allows you to adjust the angle of the handgrips without having to remove your hands from the rig. At the rear of the rig is the Mini Composite Shoulder Pad which provides padded shoulder support for the rig. It mounts onto the pair of 15mm rods extending out the back of the rod offset bracket. A Back Pad is included which attaches to the shoulder pad for augmented camera support and comfort. A 1/4"-20 hole allows for additional accessories to be added.

The DSLR Kirk Neff Baseplate 2.0 from SHAPE is a 15mm rod baseplate designed for DSLR cameras that utilizes a standard V-lock quick-release system. The quick-release plate provides a 1/4"-20 threaded camera screw and has rubber stoppers at the back to prevent your camera from twisting during operation. The rubber stoppers can be adjusted and removed using the included hex key. For alignment and balance adjustments, the V-lock delta adapter on the bottom of the quick-release plate can be also adjusted forward/backward, and the camera screw can be placed in a front or rear position - using appropriate hex keys.

The baseplate itself features two 15mm rod ports with thumbscrews. It's design places the optical center of camera between the two rods and places the lens at a height suitable for use with a matte box. A pair of 8" aluminum rods come included.
