The following terminology will be used

throughout this manual when referring to

parts of the Pivot Shoulder Rig.

Parts & Orientation

Reference

Standard shoulder rig positioning with the camera weight

centered over the shoulder. This provides the most

comfort and stability when using heavy setups.

On-Shoulder

Flipping the handles and lower shoulder pad down allows

Pivot to be placed on the ground for easy rig adjustments

or changing camera settings quickly.

t in the water bottle holder or strapped to

the side of most backpacks, this mode allows Pivot to

compress into a small footprint for easy travel.

Pivot aims to give a versatile experience

and provides a multitude of shooting

positions for different scenarios.

Shooting Modes

Essentially the same setup as "over-shoulder", but instead

of placing Pivot up and over the shoulder, the pad is used as

a contact point with the chest/stomach/hip.

Chest Press

By swinging the lower pad 90-degrees Pivot will wrap the

pad over the shoulder. This greatly improves stability and

helps tremendously with one-handed operation when needed.

plate, Pivot can be quickly mounted to a video tripod

with an appropriate head.

The riser can be detached from shoulder pad and positioned

forward to get the camera in front of the user's face to see

the built in monitor when an external monitor is not available.

tension can be adjusted (see adjustments section).

Next, raise the camera up until the lens is centered on the matte
