StingRay Series Visual Guide

Covering RigLits and StingShot-Stinger-StingRay Configurations

The StingRay series is the latest and most versatile
addition to our long line of award-winning camera
supports. Completely modular and tool-free in
design, the StingRay series is built up with “RigLits”
architecture, a system of support components
mounted on industry-standard 15mm rods.

The RigLits system allows you to buy our unique,
ergonomic components to upgrade 15mm rod
systems from other manufacturers, or build your own
system from the ground up. Check out this visual
guide for detailed information.

Note: Levers and knobs on actual unit may differ slightly from those shown in this manual

The StingRay series modular support is designed with several attributes in mind: flexibility, compatibility, portability, and
reliability. Based on standard 15mm rods, the StingRay series builds up using the RigLits system, which allows you to buy components
(RigLits) incrementally to configure own support or add our components to another manufacturer’s 15mm rod-based system.

There are 5 recommended configurations, all of which are available with the master StingRay system. In other words, if you buy
the VZ-StingRay, you can configure it into at least 5 setups (each shown on the previous page), and the entire system breaks down
neatly for compact storage and transport without the use of any tools. The StingShot and Stinger I, II, & III are each capable of fewer
configurations than the master StingRay, but each system can be purchased as a turnkey product and upgraded through the purchase
of RigLits (below):
