Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I need to support a canon 100-400mm lens is this suitable ?

A: This is suitable but you'll need the metabones support bracket to go with it

Q: 2. What mounts are on the bottom of this baseplate? Also, will this fit on the Sony FS7?

A: There are 3/8 and 1/4 screw holes on the bottom of this plate. It is our feeling that while the FS7 could be mounted to this plate, it would probably be too small to be practical. We suggest that you use the Zacuto VCT Universal Baseplate if you need one for both.

Q: 3. Will this work with an FS7 M2?

A: Hello Tania, Thank you for contacting us! Unfortunately, this camera support was specifically designed for the Sony FS5. We cannot guarantee it will fit for the Sony FS7M2. We do have a line of products for the Sony camera that will give you several interesting solutions. We invite you to visit our Sony FS7Mii page on our website. a href= https://www.shapewlb.com/en/sony-pxw-fs7m2-camera-supports.aspx target= _blank https://www.shapewlb.com/en/sony-pxw-fs7m2-camera-supports.aspx/aWe hope this helps and we thank you for your interest in our products.The SHAPE team

Q: 4. Could you make it lift handed as well?

A: It cannot. This is for the right side of the camera only.

Q: 5. Hey there, we're upgrading from the FS5K to the FS7M2K with extension unit. Will this new setup somehow fit on the Shape Fs5 Rig with the additional rear insert plate?Thanks for your answer,Pascal

A: Hello Pascal,Thank you for your question! Our FS5 Baseplate is essentially our generic baseplate adapted for the Sony FS5 given the Sony FS5 Adaptor plate. Without it, our generic baseplate fits basically 90% of the cameras out there including the Sony FS7 and FS7M2. We also have a brand new FS7M2 Remote Extension Handle bracket available. Since Sony changed their design for the handle, we adapted ours so it fits perfectly. You can check it out on our website later today as they will be displayed.a href= http://www.shapewlb.com/en/home.aspx target= _blank http://www.shapewlb.com/en/home.aspx/aWe hope this answers your questions, and we thank you for your interest in our products.The SHAPE team

Q: 6. What is the length and height of the mount kit, without the camera?

A: The weight is about 5lb without the camera, and the height is 8 inch 1/4 with the handles.

Q: 7. Is it possible to screw a plate on it that way it can go straight from the shoulder to the tripod ?

A: Hello NickThank you for your question! Indeed you can attach your tripod plate underneath the main baseplate of our unit and leave it there at all times given the threaded holes underneath the main baseplate. You have access to 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threaded holes.We hope this answers your question and we thank you for your interest in our products.Best regards,The SHAPE team

Q: 8. I purchased this shoulder rig but its too front heavy to use comfortably. Does Shape have a solution for adding weight at the back to balance the weight?

A: Hello Kristin,Thank your for your question! We do have 2 different counter weight solutions to fit your Sony FS5 rig. One replaces the back pad behind the shoulder pad section of the rig:a href= https://www.shapewlb.com/en/product/products/accessories/shoulder-pad/counter-weight_55.aspx?id_page_parent=132 target= _blank https://www.shapewlb.com/en/product/products/accessories/shoulder-pad/counter-weight_55.aspx?id_page_parent=132/aThe other one can be installed on top of the rods above the shoulder pad.a href= https://www.shapewlb.com/en/product/products/accessories/shoulder-pad/base-counter-weight-rod-bloc_57.aspx?id_page_parent=132 target= _blank https://www.shapewlb.com/en/product/products/accessories/shoulder-pad/base-counter-weight-rod-bloc_57.aspx?id_page_parent=132/aBoth products are 4 lbs counter weights.We hope this helps and we thank you for your interest in our products.The SHAPE team

Q: 9. Can you explain if this adapter can mount directly to the FS5, and then attach a tripod QR plate to the bottom? I use Manfrotto 501 style QR plates on various pieces of gear and hope this is directly compatible with them.

A: Hi David, Yes, this adaptor can be attached directly on the camera and then to a QR plate like the Manfrotto 501 in order to reduce stress on the camera lens mount. Hope this answer your question. Best regards,

Q: 10. Can the Metabones adapter be removed with this support bracket in place on the baseplate? From the photo, it doesn't look like it can be lowered to allow the support bracket to be rotated off the camera body.

A: Hello Eric Thank you for your question! The Metabones adapter can actually be removed by unscrewings the two little screws you see at the front. You just need an allen key to proceed.We hope this helps out and we thank you for your interest in our products.The SHAPE team
