The Foton Lit Pro S953 shoulder rig, also known as the Lit Pro M, is built for the run-and-gun videographer using smaller DSLRs or camcorders. This rig provides multi-point contact with the operator’s body—including the shoulder and belly support—to significantly stabilize the camera in both the horizontal and vertical planes. This stabilization is crucial for eliminating accidental vibrations and achieving professional, smooth handheld video footage.
A key feature of the Lit Pro S953 is its compatibility with the industry-standard Manfrotto 501PL quick-release plate. This allows for quick and reliable mounting and dismounting of your camera, making transitions between shoulder-mounted and tripod shooting fast and seamless. The rig also boasts an improved, easily adjustable ball head and two independent fixing knobs for precise vertical positioning of your camera. Made from light aluminum alloys and durable plastics with rubberized arms for comfort, the Foton Lit Pro S953 is both rugged and highly portable, packing neatly into the included carrying bag.
