Ikan STR-DT-MOUNT Dovetail Mount for STRATUS Shoulder Rig System

Mount Your Shoulder Rig to ARRI Dovetails with Ease
The Ikan STR-DT-MOUNT Dovetail Mount is a two-piece adapter designed specifically for integrating the STRATUS Shoulder Rig System with ARRI-standard dovetail plates. Whether you're moving from handheld to tripod work or balancing your rig for studio use, this mount makes it quick and simple to secure your shoulder rig on an industry-standard platform without compromising mobility or support.

Front Dovetail Mount Adds Locking Stability
The front assembly of the mount attaches directly to the shoulder pad portion of your STRATUS rig and features a 360-degree locking clamp that firmly grips ARRI-style dovetail plates. This allows precise balance adjustments forward or backward and ensures your rig stays locked in position once mounted. The front dovetail plate also includes both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads for attaching accessories like rod blocks, arms, or support rods.

Rear Dovetail Mount Supports Rig Weight and Accessories
The included rear dovetail mount provides structural support by helping distribute the weight of the rig evenly across the full dovetail plate. This prevents excess pressure on the front clamp and improves long-term reliability. It also includes additional 1/4"-20 threaded mounting points, offering space to attach accessories like battery plates, counterweights, or cable management tools.

Switch Instantly Between Tripod and Shoulder Modes
With both the front and rear pieces in place, your STRATUS Shoulder Rig can transition from handheld operation to tripod mounting via an optional ARRI dovetail plate. This setup is perfect for fast-paced productions where versatility is key—quickly reposition your rig without disassembling or reconfiguring your build, saving time and preserving your workflow.

Designed to Maintain Ergonomics and Rig Balance
The dovetail mount design integrates seamlessly with the STRATUS shoulder pad, preserving the rig’s low-profile, ergonomic layout. The mount stays flush to the base and does not obstruct handheld use, meaning you can leave it attached without compromising comfort or adding bulk during shoulder work.

Tool-Free Locking System for Fast Adjustments
The front clamp features a built-in lever lock that simplifies adjustments. Once you’ve found the perfect balance point, clamp down the lever to lock your rig in place. This makes on-the-fly adjustments faster, especially when you’re working with different lenses or redistributing weight on the fly.
