FOTGA Steady Lightweight Shoulder Mount Pad for 15mm Rod Support System DSLR Rig Video Camcorder Camera DV DC

Does what it needs to do. Stays on, doesn’t pop off (if used properly and pushed against with clamps or other accessories). It takes quite a lot of real estate, and needs to be pushed against with a simple 15mm rod clamp for it to not slide around. If you want to put on a V mount and use this shoulder pad this is probably not for you, as real estate can’t be shared. Once used in conjunction with a pair of 15mm rod clamps on each end it no longer slides away.

Great inexpensive shoulder pad. It easily slides on and will generally stay secure in place, unless you force it to move up and down the rails. This is convenient because it allows the operator to adjust the positioning of the shoulder pad on the fly, but still depend on it to stay in place afterwards. Its quite "grippy" and even has a little cut out for your collar bone.

This shoulder pad is much more comfortable than the standard pad on a Filmcity FC-02 rig, but this one can slide around a bit. This can be a good thing for adjusting balance, but keeping the rig balanced once you find the sweet spot is a bit difficult. I'm sure there's a workaround for that, though. Overall, I'd buy it again, if there was a need. If you have an uncomfortable shoulder pad on your 15mm rail shoulder rig, consider this one. Seller was prompt, and product is good. I like Fotga's gear so far (this, their follow focus, and various 15mm bits... nothing has sucked yet). Time will tell.

Works great. It's soft and very lightweight.

This shoulder pad is decently comfortable but it slides around on the rails. Wish there was something to hold it in place more firmly.

Came fast, very low price. Super comfortable. It was a little large for the undercamera area where I needed to mount it, but with the soft foam, very easy to trim to fit. Even if it isn't the toughest material, at this price, buy one a year and come out ahead!

Awful

For the price this is a excellent, super lightweight, shoulder pad. The foam is about 50% firmness. So it is not super hard, but not soft either. For shoots that go on for 3 hours or more, I can see it getting slightly uncomfortable. I was worried about the pad slipping off my 15mm rods, but it stays on really well. There is no sliding here unless you purposefully try to pull it off. It is a solid add-on to a lightweight shoulder rig.

cela semble pratique mais très vite apparait un problème lié aux trous trops grands pour de la tige de 15 (et trop petits pour de la 19, mais le support n est pas fait pour donc,) du coup le support glisse sur les tiges, pour y remédier, du gaffer un mini clamp que sais je... rien de bien pratique... et puis le support ne semble pas robuste, j imagine le risque de petits morceaux qui se décroche a force de poser au sol reprendre sur l épaule etc... bon pas bien cher mais se rapproche d un consommable a changer tous les 3 mois quand on tourne beaucoup. pour l occasionnel pourquoi pas mais on revient au problème de départ, le support glisse sur les tiges et il faut y rajouter de quoi le bloquer (pas pratique pour l ajuster comme on le souhaite...) et je pense que ce n est pas grand chose à régler pour Fotga. Sachant que je ne suis pas le premier à relever ce problème j’espère une réaction.

Excellent. Fits my shoulder perfectly and makes using my rig set up so much easier!

das Schulterpad Passt wie angegossen, kann ich weiter empfehlen.

Very soft and comfortable

Ripeto e confermo quello che hanno già scritto altri acquirenti, prodotto non di ottima fattura, ma perfettamente in linea con il prezzo. Calza sui binari in modo corretto. No rimane fermo nella sua posizione, ma scivola avanti e indietro con una leggerissima spinta.
