The Foton Tor Pro S973 shoulder rig is the perfect companion for filmmakers who prioritize stability and comfort while shooting handheld video with HD-capable DSLRs or small camcorders. Recognizing that the standard ergonomics of these cameras are challenging for video, the Tor Pro provides a supportive platform that rests securely on the operator’s shoulder. This design effectively stabilizes the camera in both the horizontal and vertical planes, successfully eliminating accidental vibrations and wrist/shoulder fatigue.
The rig is built with practicality in mind. It features an improved, more durable ball head for quick and easy camera positioning. The quick-release system with a sliding plate is highly reliable, allowing for fast mounting and removal. For accessory integration, the Tor Pro S973 is equipped with mounting points for essential gear like external LCD screens, microphones, or lighting equipment. Constructed from lightweight aluminum alloys and aesthetic plastics, with rubber-covered handles for a comfortable grip, the rig remains lightweight and highly portable. The compact size and included carrying bag make the Foton Tor Pro S973 an excellent choice for location shooting.
