Product Information

Full details

The Shape Sony FS5 Shoulder Mount with FFPro is a professional-grade stabilization system designed for videographers who need increased balance and precision when shooting with the Sony FS5, FS5M2, or PXW-FS5M2 cameras. This comprehensive rig offers a major ergonomic win by distributing weight across the shoulder for longer, steadier handheld takes, though it does add significant mass that may require practice for quick transitions compared to a bare camera setup.

Can I mount this on a tripod?

Yes, the baseplate features multiple 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 holes underneath for standard tripod plate mounting.

Does the kit include the Metabones adapter?

The kit includes the removable support bracket for a Metabones adapter, but does not include the adapter itself.

How many gears are included for the Follow Focus?

Can I add more accessories to the rig?

Yes, the rig features several 1/4-20 threaded holes for side mounting and the shoulder pads also include mounting points for accessories.

Troubleshooting

Camera shifts or rotates on the baseplate

Ensure both the 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 captive screws are fully tightened to secure the camera's rotation and translation.

Handle position is slipping

Ensure the red push-button is fully engaged; if it continues to slip, check for debris inside the handle gear teeth.

Follow focus gear is not making contact with the lens

Adjust the follow focus arm position and slide the unit along the 15mm rods to achieve proper gear mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rig, align the Sony FS5 with the baseplate's captive screws to ensure the camera is locked against rotation. Use the 15mm rod system to slide your components into the optical center for optimal lens alignment. The system is specifically compatible with the Sony FS5, FS5M2, and PXW-FS5M2 cameras. For maintenance, regularly inspect the red push-button mechanisms to ensure they remain free of grit or dust. Wipe the CNC aluminum surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth; if the unit is used in wet conditions, dry it thoroughly before storing to prevent any moisture buildup near the joints or threads.
