This versatile, lightweight camera stabilizer has a spring-loaded, locking pivot point with high density foam-lined shoulder and chest pads for an easily adjustable and comfortable fit on the body.

Besides the standard camera mount plate on the unit, the package also includes 2 adjustable accessory base plates so that a wide variety of camera sizes can be accomodated. The larger plate extends from the unit with a rectangular rubber-padded base, while the smaller plate attaches to the larger and has a rubber-padded quick release base on top of a riser which raises the position of the camera by 2.5". Both accessory plates can be adjusted back and forth or angled into the optimal position via easy-grip sliding lock-down screw knobs, so it is stable and sturdy on your frame but still high quality. Perfect DSLR and other camera types, this reliable camera support shoulder mount is ideal for beginners and professionals alike.

What features differentiate the DJ Shoulder Mount Stabilizer from its competition?
With our shoulder mount, the weight is taken off the top of the shoulder and distributed to the chest in front and below the shoulder in back. Unlike supports that only sit on the top of the shoulder, this unit effectively rests all the weight of the camera on your body. Therefore your arms do not get tired from holding the camera and they are free to operate controls. The additional large and small camera mount plate extensions enable you to position a wide variety of cameras so that you can easily use an eyepiece or position a view screen properly. The unit is also very lightweight yet sturdy enough to hold up to 10 pounds of camera and gear.
How safe is it to move around and shoot in crowded and busy environments while my expensive camera is attached to the DJ Shoulder Mount Stabilizer?
While the stabilizer unit will attach firmly to your body and is difficult to dislodge in most cases, you can have extra assurance that your camera rig will not fall by attaching the provided securing strap to the unit and across your body.
