This professional shoulder‑mounting system is designed to transform the URSA Mini series into a balanced and fully mobile handheld camera suitable for film, documentary, ENG and live production scenarios. Engineered for operators who need fluid movement and quick repositioning, the kit enables rapid switching between tripod operation and shoulder use without disrupting the shooting workflow. Its integrated quick‑release mechanism allows the camera to be latched onto a tripod plate or detached for handheld work within seconds, ensuring fluid transitions even in demanding, fast‑paced environments.
Comfort and stability are at the core of the design. The molded shoulder pad provides ergonomic support across long shooting days, distributing weight evenly to maintain proper balance whether working with lightweight photographic lenses or heavier cinema optics. The unit is carefully shaped to position the camera in a natural shoulder‑mounted orientation, giving operators accurate line‑of‑sight and stable control during movement. This optimized geometry allows for smoother walking shots, refined handheld framing and more comfortable operation during prolonged takes.
Two front rosettes are included for attaching industry‑standard handgrips, offering operators additional stability and customization of control placement. Built‑in rail mounts support 15 mm rods, enabling the use of matte boxes, follow‑focus systems, lens supports and other cinema accessories. This level of expandability makes the system suitable for a wide range of productions, from lightweight documentary rigs to fully outfitted cinema configurations.
The kit is also designed to accommodate the URSA Viewfinder directly, ensuring that the monitoring position remains stable and correctly aligned when the camera is used on the shoulder. This integration enhances the overall shooting experience by providing a consistent and professional viewfinding solution during handheld operation. Together, the mounting interfaces and ergonomic design make the kit a vital accessory for any operator seeking smooth, comfortable and production‑ready mobility.
Built with durability in mind, the system is manufactured from high‑quality materials that can withstand daily professional use. Its mechanical components maintain tight tolerances over time, ensuring secure attachment and reliable performance in both studio and field environments. The combination of balanced weight distribution, mounting flexibility and rapid conversion between shooting modes makes this kit an essential upgrade for filmmakers who require a highly adaptable handheld solution.
