Digital Juice Shoulder Mount Stabilizer Getting Started Manual
Getting Started Guide
The Digital Juice Shoulder Mount Stabilizer is a camera support worn over
the shoulder and featuring 2-point stabilization through the back and chest.
The lightweight unit weighs less than 2 lbs, making it very easy to use, hold
and carry in your production kit. This is an invaluable tool when working
on location in large crowds, or when the camera has to be in constant
motion, preventing your handheld camera from falling, while still providing
a lightweight stable foundation for your shots. No matter where you are
shooting, you will get smoother looking video and reduce your muscle fatigue
when using this stabilizer.
Our lightweight Shoulder Mount Stabilizer (1) has a spring-loaded, locking
pivot point (2) with high density foam-lined shoulder and chest pads for an
easily adjustable and comfortable fit
on the body. The unit distributes the
weight of the gear mounted to it onto
the back and chest, relieving stress on
the shoulders and arms and leaving
the hands free to work controls.
Using the Shoulder Mount Stabilizer
Large and small camera mount extension plates allow a wide variety of
camera shapes and sizes to be accommodated and adjusted so that eyepiece
and viewscreen are positioned correctly (7, 8). The unit’s industry-standard
¼-20 mounts (9) will accept a wide variety of cameras and accessories.
