The Stratus C500 Mk II & C300 Mk III Shoulder Rig with Dual Grips provides a full shoulder-mounted solution for the Canon C500 Mk II & C300 Mk III. The Stratus Shoulder Rig comes with dual 360° rotating handgrips for secure shoulder-mounted operating. An EVF/Monitor Holder is also included. This allows for pro-style viewing with your Canon C500 Mk II & C300 Mk III cameras. This rig includes a Manfrotto 501 style quick-release baseplate, cage frame, Stratus top handle, extendable dogbones, counterweights, two carbon fiber 15mm rods, shoulder pad, rubber hand grips, 15mm rod adapter, monitor mount, and EVF mount.

SHOULDER PAD WITH MANFROTTO 501 MOUNT

The Stratus Shoulder Rig Kit comes with an ergonomic shoulder pad that can mount the included Manfrotto 501 Standard baseplate. The Manfrotto 501 Baseplate has two 15mm rod slots which enable you to mount accessories like a lens support, follow focus, and matte box. Once you have all of your rod accessories attached, you can then mount your setup on a Manfrotto 501 tripod without the shoulder pad and handgrips. Both sides of the shoulder pad contain ARRI rosettes for mounting the extendable dog bones and hand grips. The bottom of the shoulder pad contains an adapter plate that allows you to mount accessories like a VCT14 mount, an ARRI Standard dovetail mount, or a tripod plate. The shoulder pad alone can be used with a wide variety of cinema cameras like the Alexa Mini, EVA1, URSA Mini, Canon C-Series, Sony Cinealta, FX9 & FS7, Kinefinity, ZCam, Etc.

STRATUS MONITOR AND EVF MOUNT

The Stratus C500 Mk II & C300 Mk III Shoulder Rig Kit includes a fully rotatable monitor and EVF mount. The EVF mount can work with any side-mounted ARRI rosette EVF. The Monitor/EVF Mount can be attached by sliding it into the 15mm rod mount on the front of the top handle. It features an 8.5 inch standard NATO rail which can be used to move the monitor or EVF closer or further to the camera operator. Once the monitor is mounted and is at the preferred distance, it can be rotated to provide a comfortable viewing angle. The monitor mount can be connected to the same ARRI standard rosette as the EVF. The monitor mount fits monitors up to 7 inches.

EXTENDABLE DOG BONES AND ROTATABLE HANDGRIPS

The Stratus Shoulder Rig Kit features two rubber handgrips that can be individually rotated a full 360°. The dog bones can be extended or retracted to give you full flexibility of how you want to hold your camera rig. The handgrips can be detached from the dog bone which will allow you to connect the official Canon C500 Mk II & C300 Mk III handgrip. Furthermore, the dog bones can be extended to a maximum length of 8.5” and compressed to a minimum length of 5.25”.

STRATUS TOP PLATE

The Stratus Top Plate is custom-designed for your Canon C500 Mk II & C300 Mk III, forming the base for accessorizing your camera without stressing its body. The Shoulder Rig Kit comes included with a standard NATO rail which allows you to attach the Stratus Top Handle. The Stratus Top Plate is also compatible with the official Canon top handle. It has a multitude of 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 screw holes as well as six different ARRI location pin inputs. Attaching a magic arm with ARRI location pins provides a perfectly secure mounting solution. The Stratus Shoulder Rig also comes with a 15mm rod adapter clamp that can be attached to the top plate with a 1/4-20 screw.

STRATUS TOP HANDLE

The Stratus Top Handle can be mounted to the standard NATO rail included with the kit. This provides a comfortable yet secure handle for your camera rig. It features a cold shoe mount for mounting shotgun mics, wireless receivers, and lights. A 15mm rod can be inserted inside of the top handle and secured with a 1/4-20 screw.

The Stratus Top Handle features a 15mm clamp on the front of the handle that can be used to mount the included monitor/EVF holder.

Machined aluminum construction provides a balance of strength and weight, and the unit is anodized for corrosion and wear resistance.

SIDE PLATES

The Stratus Shoulder Rig System includes two side plates that mount to both sides of the camera. Each plate contains 1/4-20 and 3/8 screw threads as well as ARRI location pin mounts for mounting accessories like monitor holders and magic arms. The plates feature standard ARRI rosettes which allow you to mount the official Canon Cinema handgrip.

15MM ROD ADAPTER

The Stratus Shoulder Rig System includes a 15mm Rod Adapter that can be attached anywhere on the cage frame. This will allow you to mount a 15mm rod anywhere on the cage and can be used for mounting a wireless follow focus motor from the top plate. The 15mm rod adapter can also work with the monitor/EVF holder by mounting it to the front of the top plate.
