How do I use the riser to mount my camera?

Remove the quick-release plate from the riser and attach it to your camera. Place the riser on the baseplate and tighten the attachment screw. Then, seat the quick-release plate/camera assembly onto the riser and close the latch.

How can I adjust the camera position?

Loosen the 1/4"-20 baseplate screw to move the camera forward or backward. For offset, loosen the attachment screw and rotate the baseplate or riser left or right, then re-tighten and adjust camera orientation.

What is the maximum weight my camera can be?

How do I adjust the chest brace for a comfortable fit?

How do I attach and adjust the support strap?

Attach the support strap to one ring behind the baseplate, place the mount on your shoulder, wrap the strap around your body, and attach the free end to the other ring. Adjust for a snug but comfortable fit.

Can I use the SR-500 with any camera?

It is designed for DSLRs and camcorders. Ensure your camera weighs within the specified limits (4.4 lbs with riser, 6.6 lbs with baseplate) and uses a 1/4"-20 tripod screw.

Shoulder Support System

REVO™

Thank you for choosing Revo and congratulations on your purchase of the Revo SR-500 Video Shoulder Support System.

The Revo Video Shoulder Support System is a lightweight, affordable way to comfortably stabilize your camera while shooting video handheld with your DSLR or camcorder.

The adjustable padded chest brace, padded shoulder mount, and ergonomic design allow it to fit comfortably on your body and offer solid support for your camera. Made from high-density plastic and weighing just 2.55 pounds, the SR-500 unit folds up for easy storage. The included baseplate and riser with quick-release plate give you flexibility and adjustability. This mount supports a camera weighing up to 4.4 pounds using the included riser, or up to 6.6 pounds using the long universal camera baseplate.

Both the chest brace and he shoulder support are lined with comfortable foam padding, and the brace is spring-loaded to keep both the shoulder mount, and the chest brace comfortably and firmly pressed against your body, to provide solid support for your camera. This keeps both hands free for operating the camera—the camera stays securely in place in front of you, ready to shoot at any time. The camera can be offset by rotating the baseplate or the riser to the left or to the right.

The SR-500 Video Shoulder Support System provides solid support for your camera by resting securely on your shoulder, using an extension arm with a padded brace on the end that presses firmly against your chest—your body forming the third side of a supportive triangle, and the camera directly in front of your eyes.

Adjusting the Support Strap

Before mounting the camera, attach the support strap to one of the rings on the shoulder mount, behind the camera mounting baseplate. Loosen the large knurled locking knob that controls the chest plate of the spring-loaded chest support.

Mounting the Camera with the Riser

4 With the camera now mounted, lift the shoulder mount onto your shoulder and wrap the support strap around your body to attach it to the ring behind the baseplate. With the weight evenly distributed between your shoulder and your chest, be sure that the mount is securely and comfortably on your shoulder, with the chest plate snugly and comfortably against your chest, supporting the camera. Tighten the large knurled knob that controls the chest plate of the spring-loaded chest support.

Adjusting the camera

Once the camera is on the baseplate, you can fine-tune the camera position by loosening the screw and re-positioning the camera until it's in the position you desire.

1 To adjust the distance of the camera from you, slightly loosen the 1/4"-20 baseplate screw and move the camera forwards or backwards. When the camera is in position, tighten the screw securely. For further adjustment, loosen the attachment screw for the riser slightly and slide the riser backwards or forwards. Retighten the attachment screw firmly.

2 The camera can be offset whether it's on the baseplate or on the riser. Loosen the attachment screw slightly and rotate the baseplate (or the riser) with the camera on it to the left or to the right. Tighten the attachment screw securely. Then, loosen the camera mounting screw slightly and turn the camera to the correct orientation. Tighten the attachment screw securely.

When you're finished shooting, be sure to remove your camera from the shoulder mount. If the shoulder mount is placed on a flat surface resting on the camera, it could possibly cause stress or damage to the camera.
