Mauro’s Moments – DSLR Shoulder Mount – Mauromedia Tech
Want to get decent looking video with your DSLR? Take a look at the new shoulder mount rig that we put together here at Mauromedia. Just recently we purchased several items to make a quality shoulder mount rig for our Canon 5D Mark II’s and the new Canon 1D Mark IV’s. We wanted to build a solid shoulder mount with quality audio at an affordable price point. Follow the links below to see and/or purchase the same equipment that we are using.

Very cool rig.
Cool setup fellas, plan on building something very similar from a cavision rig as the base… can you provide anymore details on the ‘drilling into the plastic’ part and how exactly you mounted the quick release base plate to the shoulder support ? What kind of screws blots did you need ?
Thanks
Gove,
It was fairly easy to drill through the plastic…you just have to find the best spot to mount the quick release clamp based on your personal preference. We used Stainless Steel Oval Phillips Machine Screws 1/4-20 x 3/4 to come up through the plastic into the clamp. That way they mounted flush into the plastic and wouldn’t dig into your shoulder. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Cheers
[...] The shortcoming is that the audio is not that great, but there are solutions to this. The guys at Maruo Media have assembled a sick shoulder mount that turns this digital camera into a one man production unit. [...]
follow focus..how accurate it is?

Hey guys. Great video!!! Im in Cape Town South Africa and i shoot with a 5d and use a zoom h4n, lectrosonic lapels and a rode ntg 3. I want a rig EXACTLY how you’ve made yours above. Iv used the redrock micro a few times but being a 1 man show doing sound as well it becomes a hassle. Do you make and sell your altered dslr rigs because im very interested in buying straight from you.
Thanks again
