Ikan STR-CINE-RIG Stratus Shoulder Rig System for Cinema Cameras

Professional Shoulder Rig System for Cinema Camera Setups

The Ikan STR-CINE-RIG STRATUS Cine Shoulder Rig System is a versatile and highly configurable shoulder mount solution built for professional cinema cameras. Designed to improve stability and operator comfort, this rig supports long-form shoots and demanding productions with its modular components and robust construction. Whether you’re working with Canon, Panasonic, or other cinema bodies, this system offers the flexibility and support needed to achieve balanced, ergonomic, and precise handheld operation.

Fully Adjustable for Custom Camera Configurations

At the heart of the STRATUS rig is a Manfrotto 501-compatible shoulder pad and baseplate system, allowing seamless transitions from handheld to tripod setups. The 15mm carbon fiber rods provide a lightweight yet durable foundation for lens supports, follow focus units, matte boxes, and more. Articulating ARRI rosette-based handgrips offer a tailored grip configuration, enabling fine-tuned positioning to match individual shooting preferences.

Built-In EVF and Monitor Mount for Visual Clarity

Included with the rig is a flexible monitor/EVF mount that connects directly to the 15mm rod system. This allows operators to position their external displays or viewfinders at optimal angles, improving framing and focus accuracy during shoulder-mounted shooting. The design keeps weight distribution aligned and screen visibility consistent under a variety of conditions.

Optimized Weight Distribution with Offset Mounting

The system is built to accommodate offset camera positioning, enhancing counterbalance and reducing strain during extended use. With multiple mounting points for accessories—including 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads with ARRI locating pins—you can integrate batteries, transmitters, and other gear without disrupting balance or comfort. A rear-mounted weight system can be added to fine-tune center of gravity for heavy cinema builds.

Durable Construction with Lightweight Carbon Fiber Rods

Using anodized aluminum components and carbon fiber 15mm rods, the STR-CINE-RIG achieves an ideal balance of strength and portability. The materials are built to withstand the pressures of production while staying light enough for all-day handheld use. Whether shooting narrative, documentary, or commercial work, this rig system holds up in any environment.

Quick Transitions with Manfrotto 501 Base Compatibility

The integrated Manfrotto 501 base plate makes it easy to mount the rig directly to compatible tripod heads, giving operators fast transitions between static and mobile shots. This increases efficiency on set, allowing for quick repositioning and minimized downtime without dismantling core components.
