The Shoulderpod G2 is a professional video production grip for adding external microphones, lights or extra batteries to your smartphone camera. A solid, reliable and easy to use platform especially designed for journalists, filmmakers and digital content creators.
How it works
Smart-Clamp mechanism
Quick release and smartphone lock, all in one button
The spring-loaded Smart-Clamp system offers a quick release mechanism for mounting or removing your phone immediately and securely. Slide the Smart-Clamp button downwards to open the lower jaw and mount your device in the grip. In order to ensure your phone will be safe, activate the brake by pushing the Smart-Clamp button upwards until you feel a “click”. The brake increases the friction of the lower clamp making it harder to open.
Universal
Fits all modern smartphones
The G2 is a universal grip for holding virtually any modern smartphone model with or without a case. Its adjustable rubber-padded jaws can hold any mobile device between 65 and 90 mm wide. This includes all current iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Huawei, Xiaomi, Pixel, Sony Xperia or HTC models, and many others. It won't fit older, small devices such as the iPhone 4, 5, SE, or foldable phones and small tablets such as the iPad mini.
Ergonomic tiltable design
Switch from horizontal to vertical video easily
Horizontal, square and vertical video are now widely used by journalists and content marketers worldwide, so we’ve designed the G2 to switch from landscape to portrait mode easily. Hold the grip comfortably with one or both hands and just tilt it 90º to change your shooting format. As a result of this, your thumbs will always be free to tap the screen controls.
Multiple mounting points
6 cold shoes and 2 tripod mounts for adding anything you need
Never run out of cold shoes again. The G2 includes 6 cold shoes for adding professional microphones, lights, batteries or any other accessory you may need to upgrade your smartphone camera. The two standard 1/4”-20 metal inserts allow you to mount your rig on a tripod in either landscape or portrait mode. These threads can also be used to add external accessories such as brackets or articulated arms to your set-up.
Tough and reliable
Made from reinforced composite polymers
Professionals demand durable and reliable products. That’s why we’ve made the structure of the G2 using a high-performance fibreglass reinforced composite. The heat embedded tripod mounts are made of machined brass, while the handle and smartphone clamps are composed of a highly resistant rubberised material for protecting your mobile device, offering a comfortable grip.
Label it
We have it covered
In the interests of recovering equipment with ease, newsrooms, companies and freelance professionals label theirs as part of an inventory. We've included a 26x18 mm lowered area at the back of the grip where you can place your labels neatly.
Silent strap design
Shhhhh!, we’re rolling
Straps on cameras, cages and rigs are usually attached using small metal knobs and rings. The slightest movement can cause these rings to rattle, thus ruining your audio recording. The G2 includes an integrated loop for attaching straps* without the need of rings and knobs. Shhhhh! We’re rolling!
