KASBAH Ātman Shoulder Rig – Narrow One-Axis Kit (BUD VCT-14)

Description

Introducing the KASBAH Ātman Shoulder Rig Kit (BUD One-Axis VCT-14), a revolutionary solution crafted to redefine comfort and flexibility in filmmaking. Engineered with precision seamless usability, this kit offers filmmakers unparalleled control over their shooting experience.

Optimal Balancing

The camera’s placement on the shoulder rig impacts the overall balance of the setup significantly. Using the ARRI BUD dovetail standard, we provide a spacious 165mm of sliding capacity, enabling you to adjust and evenly distribute weight, reducing the strain on your back, neck & shoulders.

The balance can be fine-tuned with added precision using the sliding shoulder pad situated on the frame.

For added flexibility in positioning the shoulder pad, check out the B6000.0008 – KASBAH Ātman Shoulder Rig Kit (BUD Two-Axis VCT-14). This version includes a broader pad that allows adjustments in both forward/backward and side-to-side directions.

Effortless Setup Changes

Switch seamlessly between handheld and tripod setups with the quick-release functionality of the kit. Easily slide on and off the BUD dovetail within seconds, boosting workflow efficiency and adaptability on set.
