I originally had a hard time deciding between the Tilta, Polar Pro and smallrig shoulder rigs. I watched many youtube videos and ended up going with this rig for my Sony FX3 video shoots. It allowed me to save money (Polarpro is expensive), and this is extremely easy to setup and get started.
The Tilta Lightweight Shoulder Rig has transformed my handheld filming experience. The rig's versatility is unparalleled, thanks to the Dual Manfrotto ARCA Baseplate. This feature allows seamless use of either Manfrotto or ARCA plates, providing great flexibility in my setup. The removable baseplate, compatible with various other plates, enhances this versatility.
What truly sets this rig apart is the adjustable velcro shoulder pad, which ensures perfect balance and comfort during long shoots. The extendable rosette arms are a brilliant addition, allowing me to customize the hand grips' length and angle for comfortable operation in multiple positions.
Mounting an external monitor is a breeze with the 1/4"-20 thread on the extension arms, a feature that greatly improves my monitoring capabilities. The rig's ability to fold up quickly for transportation, thanks to the 360-degree rotatable rosette bridge, is a huge plus for on-the-go shoots.
Additionally, the 15mm LWS Rod Mount is perfect for attaching various accessories and battery plates, aiding in the rig's balance and providing power to my camera. The NATO Rail at the back for mounting counterweights and the included Rear Shoulder Support Pad further enhance the rig's stability and comfort.
Overall, the Tilta Lightweight Shoulder Rig is a must-have for filmmakers seeking a comfortable, versatile, and user-friendly shoulder rig. Highly recommended for its quality, ease of use, and adaptability.
