FOTGA Steady Lightweight Shoulder Mount Pad for 15mm Rod Support System DSLR Rig Video Camcorder Camera DV DC

Does what it needs to do. Stays on, doesn’t pop off (if used properly and pushed against with clamps or other accessories). It takes quite a lot of real estate, and needs to be pushed against with a simple 15mm rod clamp for it to not slide around. If you want to put on a V mount and use this shoulder pad this is probably not for you, as real estate can’t be shared. Once used in conjunction with a pair of 15mm rod clamps on each end it no longer slides away.

For the price this is a excellent, super lightweight, shoulder pad. The foam is about 50% firmness. So it is not super hard, but not soft either. For shoots that go on for 3 hours or more, I can see it getting slightly uncomfortable.I was worried about the pad slipping off my 15mm rods, but it stays on really well. There is no sliding here unless you purposefully try to pull it off. It is a solid add-on to a lightweight shoulder rig.

Came fast, very low price. Super comfortable. It was a little large for the undercamera area where I needed to mount it, but with the soft foam, very easy to trim to fit. Even if it isn't the toughest material, at this price, buy one a year and come out ahead!

I bought this to replace a cheap hard plastic shoulder "pad" that came with my DSLR shoulder rig. Right out of the box, 10,000% better!!! This just slides onto standard 15mm camera rods. So far, it stays where I've positioned it but over time it may need a little gaffers tape to keep it in place. There is no locking mechanism as it is just thick rubber form. Did i say it is very comfortable!?

This shoulder pad is decently comfortable but it slides around on the rails. Wish there was something to hold it in place more firmly.

This shoulder pad is much more comfortable than the standard pad on a Filmcity FC-02 rig, but this one can slide around a bit. This can be a good thing for adjusting balance, but keeping the rig balanced once you find the sweet spot is a bit difficult. I'm sure there's a workaround for that, though. Overall, I'd buy it again, if there was a need.If you have an uncomfortable shoulder pad on your 15mm rail shoulder rig, consider this one. Seller was prompt, and product is good. I like Fotga's gear so far (this, their follow focus, and various 15mm bits... nothing has sucked yet). Time will tell.

Works great. It's soft and very lightweight.

This is a nice, fairly inexpensive shoulder pat that is comfortable and fits well on standard 15mm rails. It does not slide too much while using and can be adjusted without effort.
