【LIGHTWEIGHT CHEST PAD】SmallRig MD3183 is designed for reducing the sense of the weight of long-term handheld shooting, in order to make the shooting process more labor-saving and stable. If you operate your camera in the center front of your body when in handheld mode, you could add this Lightweight Chest Pad 3183 to your 15mm LWS rig for a comfortable stabilizing option.
【MOUNTS ONTO SEPARATE 15MM LWS RODS】The pad mount features a 15mm LWS rod clamp that can mount onto any standard, separately available 15mm rods, and it can slide back and forth for adjustment along the rods. You can connect the camera through SmallRig 15mm rods such as 851 and SmallRig universal baseplate 1674, support it on the abdomen or chest for shooting.
【ROTATE UP TO 150°】The rotating structure can be adjusted by 150°, and the damping feeling can be adjusted by the included Allen wrench.
【SOFT PAD】The chest pad MD3183 is made from durable aluminum and a soft foam rubber pad that presses against your chest for stability and provides a more comfortable experience for long-term shooting.
【ONE KNOB FOR ADJUSTMENT】An Allen wrench is included to adjust the tension, and a single locking knob allows you to quickly secure or remove the pad from your rig.

GREAT ADDITION TO MY HAND-HELD VIDEO RIG.
GREAT ADDITION, HELPS INCREASE STABILITY WITHOUT LOOSING THE HAND-HELD CHARACTER OF THE VIDEO. HELPS REDUCE ARM FATIGUE. STILL ALLOWS FOR EASY MOVEMENT

This is the solution Iâve been looking for:
I shot my last film mostly handheld and I WISH Iâd had this: it would have made the process much easier. I donât dig shoulder mounted rigs, so thing is just the solution I neededâitâs comfortable and is built super solid, so I can hold the camera via two front grips (TIE fighter style) and use my chest as both rear support and as a third point of contact for stability.

Accesorio muy cómodo, pero llego usado.
Un poco alto el precio para ser usado. Aunque la publicación decÃa nuevo.

Works well
For the price, itâs not too bad. It helps keep my footage stable and does take some of the weight off my arms when full gear is attached. I just wish the pad was larger and had more cushion

POS not worth anywhere near $50
All the screws back out and then strip. Then the pad wouldnât go into the adaptor. Not worth $50. Made from the cheapest parts possible probt costs 50 cents to manufacture

Lightweight, and good build quality, but….
Built well and lightweight, but extremely uncomfortable to use.

It didnât last long
I need a new one please reach out to me

Perfect
I have handles on both sides of my camera cage and usually use the camera sling strap around my neck to steady the camera, with the ends of the hollow tubes pressing against my chest. This chest pad is the perfect solution to making this a whole lot more comfortable.

I use anamorphic lenses, and with that I lose that extra gripping with my left hand so that I can pull focus.Using this pad allows me to create a new point of contact, and makes a huge difference in stabilizing while shooting handheld.As someone with a leaner physique, the pad’s size and curvature works great.
Jordan Kelly –
It’s a chest plate/shoulder pad, does exactly what it’s made for. Fit perfectly with my smallrig baseplate and 15mm rods. Well worth it if you’re building a small run and gun filming rig

The Lightweight Chest Pad works very well to give me a short burst of stableness when taking photos at long events.

It does the job still. But the piece of foam padding is cheap.
