IBC 2016: Tilta's new shoulder mounts and universal handgrips

At the IBC show Tilta were showing several shoulder mount solutions based around either their own quick release system, or Arri standard dovetail plates. These have a sliding shoulder pad that can easily be positioned in the most comfortable position.

Also new are Tilta’s Universal handgrips that fit onto both 15mm and 19mm rods. The grips seemed extremely study and should work well not just on Tilta’s own rigs, but other makers too. Another nice touch is the ability to change the handles to Tilta’s wooden handgrips if desired.
