The Problem: Traditional shoulder rigs rely on massive VCT plates and 15mm rod baseplates. They are incredibly heavy, raise the camera profile significantly, and take too much time to build or strip down. In fast-paced documentary or corporate shooting, you need to go from your backpack, to your shoulder, to a tripod in less than 60 seconds.
The Solution: The Minimalist Snap-On Shoulder Pad. I designed this pad to securely friction-fit directly onto standard Sachtler/Manfrotto tripod plates attached to the bottom of the FX6.
Key Benefits:
Ultra-Low Profile: It adds only 2cm to the bottom of the camera.
Speed: It snaps into place instantly. When you need to put the camera on a tripod, you just pull the pad off. No screws, no levers.
Comfort: Designed to conform to the shoulder's natural curve, displacing the weight evenly.
Printing Recommendations: This model must be printed in a flexible filament (TPU). The flex is what allows the pad to stretch slightly and snap tightly onto the tripod plate, while providing cushioning for your shoulder. A 95A TPU with 15% gyroid infill or less provides a great balance of grip and comfort.
Note: This part is a key component of my "Ultralight FX6 Fast Recoil Rig" ecosystem. Check out my collection for the Monitor Extension Arm and the ARRI Rosette Adapter to complete the setup!
