Forming the core component of the Sumo II camera support is the SU Shoulder Rig that provides easy adjustment to fit different body types and needs, all via convenient knobs. You can position the camera by attaching it to the camera support via a standard 1/4-20 camera screw.

You can place the cup on a stable surface such as your waist, hip, thigh, or a nearby wall, or on the ground.

The Hand5 Quick Handle is a professional video stabilization accessory with 2 camera handles, each providing an individual rotation angle of 360°. You can attach the handle to the camera platform using a simple screw knob. A push button located at the articulation allows easy attachment and removal.
