COMPONENT 1 - SU SHOULDER RIG

The SU shoulder rig is the core of the SUMO I, SUMO II and SUMO II PRO camera supports.
You can easily adjust the SU shoulder rig to fit your needs and body type. Most of the adjustments are made using knobs, no tools are required. By using the knobs, you can:
- Position the camera
The camera is attached with a standard 1/4-20 camera screw. The knob is accessible through a 3" (7.5 cm) slot on the camera platform. The camera can thus be positioned nearer or further from you. The angle at which the camera is pointing can also be set.
- Position the BACK PAD or the COUNTER WEIGHT
The back pad or the counter weight can be positioned to fit your body type. The back pad or the counter weight can be removed when not needed.
- Position the TELESCOPIC SUPPORT ARM
The TELESCOPIC SUPPORT ARM can be positioned to fit your body type. It can be removed when not needed.
The SU shoulder rig also offers the following features:
- Position the 15MM ROD SYSTEM
The rod support system can be removed using a 4mm hexagonal key.
- Position the SHAPE BOX
Using a standard flathead screwdriver, the SHAPE BOX can be attached to the BACK PAD or above the camera platform.
- The shoulder rig can be used on both your left or right shoulder.
- When wearing the camera support, the camera platform is positioned 3/4" (1.9 cm) above your shoulder tip. Thus the base of your camera is positioned 3/4" (1.9 cm) above your shoulder tip.
- This shoulder rig is made of lightweight aluminum for strength and durability. It is powder coat painted with a professional looking wrinkle finish. The shoulder pad is cushioned for superior comfort.
COMPONENT 2 - ARM1 TELESCOPIC SUPPORT ARM

The TELESCOPIC SUPPORT ARM is a Manfrotto 233B Camera Mount Bracket (without the Manfrotto 143BKT camera plate). A specially designed "L" bracket is used to attach the arm to the shoulder rig. There is a cup at the other extremity of the arm, providing a large surface of contact. The cup has a 4" (10 cm) diameter. The arm can be extended from 14" (36 cm) to 20" (51 cm). The arm can be placed everywhere around you, by rotating it on 360 degrees horizontally and vertically.
Simply place the cup extremity on a stable surface. It can rest on your waist, your hip or your thigh. It can rests on the ground or a nearby wall for more stability. The cup can be quickly removed. The telescopic arm can then support accessories like a microphone or a camera light.
The TELESCOPIC SUPPORT ARM adds stability and versatility to the shoulder rig.
COMPONENT 3 - HAND5 QUICK HANDLE

The QUICK HANDLE is our very own, patented handle.
The QUICK HANDLE is composed of two handles. Each handle can rotate individually on 360 degrees. Simply push and hold the button, located at the articulation, and rotate the handle. Once the button is released, the handle stays firmly in place and will not moved at all.
When installed on a COMPOSITE camera support, the QUICK HANDLE is equipped with a ROD BLOCK used to attach it to 15mm rods. The QUICK HANDLE can slide along the rods for precise positioning.
To secure the position of the QUICK HANDLE, simply tighten the small red knob found on the ROD BLOCK.
COMPONENT 4 - PAD1 BACK PAD

The BACK PAD is padded on one side. It weights 0.35 lb (0.160 kg). The BACK PAD adds stability and comfort to the shoulder rig.
The BACK PAD is attached to the shoulder rig with a screw knob. The BACK PAD can easily be positioned to fit your body type: up and down by 1-1/4" (3 cm) and left and right on 360 degrees. When not needed, you can easily remove the BACK PAD from the shoulder rig.
The BACK PAD also have a 1/4-20 threaded hole that can be used to attach a SHAPE BOX or any other accessory.
