Video
Shoulder
Support System

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 the 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.

Place the SR-500 mount on your shoulder and wrap
the support strap around your body and attach the

behind the camera mounting platform.
Adjust the strap so that the fit is snug but comfortable.
Detach one end of the support strap and remove the
shoulder mount.
Adjusting the Support Strap

1
Slide the screw holding the camera baseplate back
towards the shoulder mount. Tighten the screw until
secure.
3Place the quick-release plate/camera assembly into
position on the riser, being sure that the quick-release
plate is properly seated, and close the latch to secure
the plate and the camera on the riser.
2If you’re mounting the camera directly on the
baseplate, place the camera on the baseplate and
attach it using the camera mounting screw. Tighten the
screw firmly to secure the camera.
2Place the riser on the camera baseplate and attach it
by securely tightening the attachment screw.
If you’re using the riser instead of mounting the camera
directly on the baseplate, remove the quick-release
plate from the riser and attach it to the camera,
tightening the screw securely.
Mounting the Camera with the Baseplate
Mounting the Camera with the Riser

1To 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.
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.
4With 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.
2The 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.
