• Off-Set Bracket for Blackmagic Cage The SHAPE Off-Set Bracket will fit on the SHAPE Blackmagic Cage and Shoulder Mount. UPC: 629266001462
• 2-Stage 4 x 4" Matte Box The SHAPE 2-Stage 4 x 4" Matte Box accepts lenses with up to a 100mm front outside diameter. It mounts to 15mm LWS rods and utilizes a swing-away design, which lets you perform quick lens changes without having to remove the matte box from your rods. You can adjust the height of the matte box in relation to the rods, which comes in handy when your lens center to rod center height is slightly off from the standard.
  
  Two rotating filter stages support the use of 4x4" filters. The matte box comes with a top flag (eyebrow), side flags, four matte box donuts in 66, 72, 82, and 90mm sizes, and elastic donut.
  • The matte box has a rear opening of 100mm for lenses.
  • The included anti-reflection donuts prevent light behind the camera from reflecting off any filters in the matte box and degrading the image. Included with the matte box are anti-reflection donuts for lenses with a front outside diameter of 66, 72, 82, and 90mm. The included elastic donut supports lenses with a front outside diameter between 66 and 90mm, and it is especially useful with lenses that grow and shrink as you change focus or zoom.
  • The side flags incorporate a hook design as a safety feature where they attach to the matte box. This helps prevent them from falling out of the matte box should the lock-down thumbscrew loosen accidentally.
  • The swing-away bracket incorporates a height adjustment, enabling you to compensate a total of 0.65" vertically. This allows you to use this matte box with a variety of camera/rod support combinations that may vary slightly from the industry standard 85mm distance from LWS rod center to lens port center.

• Friction & Gear Follow-Focus Clic with Adjustable Marker The Shape Friction & Gear Follow-Focus Clic with Adjustable Marker is designed to attach onto standard 15mm rods of shoulder support rigs and other rigs. It attaches onto them via a clamp system, with simplicity. You would sit the Clic atop the rods, and then slide and close a Shape-patented lever clamp underneath the rods, and the lever locks and holds the Clic securely on the rods.
  
  The Clic's focus mechanism also works with a clamp system, which when unlocked loosens the focus mechanism and allows it to be moved horizontally. It moves so to adjust itself closer to the lens. As it moves, its main feature -- the focus disk -- moves with it, and the focus disk is what reaches the lens. The focus disk can either be a friction wheel, as you see in the photo above, or a gear wheel. Both are present in this package, and replacing one with the other is accomplished with the help of the included Allen wrench. The friction wheel has a rubber outer surface that would press up against the lens, keep firm contact with it, and ensure accurate and slip-free focusing. The friction wheel would serve well for most lenses and is made of high-quality rubber that in cold temperatures won't get too cold to lose its grip. The gear wheel would accommodate those lenses that specifically have teeth on their focusing rings, and it would do so without any ring gears, by pressing its .8 pitch gears into the teeth.
  
  The focus mechanism can be used on either the left or the right side of the lens, depending on the direction you place the Clic onto the rods in. And the focus disk itself can be used either in front of the focus mechanism, as you see in the photo above, or behind it, so to accommodate a wider variety of lens lengths. To move the disk to the rear, you would first just unscrew two screws from a cube-shaped gearbox that you can't see in the photo above because it sits behind the focus disk. Once the screws are off, the focus disk can just be flipped over for use with longer lens constructions.
  
  In the photo above, the white mark disk that you see to the right of the red knob is made of highly resistant Delrin thermoplastic. It can be written on with non-permanent markers to mark up focus measurements for various predetermined shots, and it is interchangeable and thereby many predetermined measurements can be kept ready at your side. Additionally, a slide-adjustable marker made of aluminum is included to be attached beside the mark disk and to be moved and tightened into positions along the disk.
  
  The Clic is CNC machined and made of lightweight anodized aluminum for strength and durability.
  • Designed to attach onto standard 15mm rods.
  • Attaches onto the rods via a patented clamp system.
  • The focus mechanism moves horizontally to adjust to the lens.
  • The focus mechanism can be used on the left or right side of the lens.
  • A friction wheel and a gear wheel are included to interchange as the focus disk.
  • The focus disk flips to the rear of the focus mechanism to accommodate longer lenses.
  • A thermoplastic mark disk can be written on with non-permanent markers and is interchangeable.
  • An included marker attaches beside the mark disk and slides and tightens into positions along the disk.

• CP33 Multi-Purpose Mounting Cheese Plate SHAPE's CP33 Multi-Purpose Mounting Cheese Plate will let you add various accessories and devices to your camera rig. Just attach it to any two 15mm rods on your rig, and you'll have a total of thirty-three 1/4-"20, 3/8"-16, and 10/32" threaded holes to work with.
  
  You can attach accessories to both the front, back and sides, and in some applications at the same time -- for example, you can have a battery plate on the front side and an AJA Ki Pro recorder on the back. The holes on the side are the 10/32" holes. Four are available on each side for audio receiver brackets. Another great accessory you can attach is an articulating arm. You can actually attach a bunch of articulating arms, each pointing in a different direction.
  
  The plate is 1/4"-thick and is precision-machined into one whole, aluminum piece. It comes with sets of screws for attaching the Ki Pro, IDX battery plates and Anton Bauer battery plates. UPC: 629266000120
• Mini Composite Shoulder Pad The SHAPE Mini Composite Shoulder Pad is a comfort-padded and comfort-shaped shoulder pad for the back of your camera rig. Outfitted with a 15mm-mount SHAPE Rod Block, the pad attaches right onto a pair of 15mm rods, slides into the best position on them, and tightens in place by a quality lever. It also has a black Screw Knob under which you can add a SHAPE Counter Weight or a SHAPE Back Pad, both optional and both back-supported accessories that work as extensions of the shoulder pad. The Screw Knob's screw is a 1/4"-20 screw. If you remove the Screw Knob, you'll have yourself a 1/4"-20 screw-hole to add various 1/4"-20-mount accessories into. UPC: 629266000830
• Belt for Telescopic Support Arm The SHAPE Belt is a professional video accessory designed to support any rig used with the SHAPE Telescopic Support Arm.
  
  The belt's design utilizes two front-facing loops to support the arm, providing comfort and stability for the user. The support cup at the end of the arm rests on the SHAPE Belt rather than directly on the operator.
  
  While wearing the belt, the user can retain easy access to other tools and accessories by attaching them to the additional exterior loops. Operator comfort is ensured via ample padding and a size-adjustable hook-and-loop fastener buckle. UPC: 629266001080
• Telescopic Support Arm with Rod Bloc The Telescopic Support Arm with Rod Bloc from SHAPE is a variable length support arm designed to stabilize a shoulder rig while keeping the user mobile. The unit consists of a telescopic arm, Rod Bloc, and multi-function shoe which can be independently adjusted to the user's preference.
  
  The telescopic arm is a simple aluminum support which may be adjusted at two points, from a minimum length of 14" to a maximum of 20". The top end of the rod is capped by an adjustable single-knob joint which supports and positions the CNC machined aluminum Rod Bloc—the attachment point for a shoulder-mounted rig. At the arm's base is an internal spring designed to provide added control when tilting vertically, allowing the user to capture a more stable image while in motion.
  
  The bottom end of the telescopic arm is fitted with SHAPE's multi-function shoe—a cup-style base designed to rest against the user's torso or in a support belt for additional stability. If needed, the shoe may be removed so that the arm may be used as a boom, providing a connection point for a monitor, microphone, light, and more. UPC: 629266000168

  The rods are each 15mm in diameter, 12 inches long, hollow, non-threaded, and made of reliable aluminum coated with a clear finish. UPC: 629266001714
