Low Profile Shoulder Rig

Versatile BUD Platform

The Atman Shoulder Rig features the broader 88mm ARRI BUD standard, seamlessly integrating with BUD-compatible bottom plates such as our B4003.1056 Universal BUD Plate and B4004.1038 BUD Bottom Plate for the Sony BURANO. It is also compatible with ARRI ALEXA 35, MINI, and MINI LF camera models when paired with the BUD-1 and BUD-3 bottom plates.

Integrate BUD with your camera to seamlessly switch between shoulder, gimbal, and handheld setups. Utilise our extensive range of BUD accessories to make these transitions in just seconds.

Forwards, Backwards and Side to Side

The placement of the camera on the shoulder rig significantly affects the setup's overall balance. By using the ARRI BUD dovetail standard, we offer a 165mm sliding capacity. This spacious adjustment range allows you to evenly distribute the weight, which helps reduce strain on your back, neck, and shoulders.The balance can be fine-tuned with added precision using the sliding shoulder pad situated on the frame.

Unlike traditional shoulder pads, the two-axis pad offers enhanced functionality by sliding forwards, backwards, and side to side. This design allows for better weight distribution and adjustable camera proximity, providing operators with increased control and comfort.

ARRI Standard Rosettes

ARRI standard rosettes on both sides of the frame facilitate effortless integration with our KASBAH hand grips and arms, along with other compatible accessories.

Front & Rear 15mm Rod Support

The handheld rig's front includes a height-adjustable 15mm rod clamp, perfect for supporting matte boxes, focus motors, and lens supports. Additionally, this kit features a rear 15mm rod mount, ideal for attaching battery plates for counterbalance.

Articulating Hand Grips and 15mm LWS/19mm Bridge
