@SmallRigGlobal showcases the SR009 shoulder rig at NAB 2026, an upgrade from the SR007 model. The system features an integrated mounting system for VCT mounting and an adjustable shoulder plate that can be shimmed laterally for precise weight distribution and balance. A quick-release touch system enables rapid configuration changes in the field. Smallrig.com

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

The SR 009 supports heavy camera configurations including the Sony FX6 paired with a 2x anamorphic 70-135mm zoom lens and X221 battery system. Two independent mounting plates allow forward and backward positioning adjustments, providing fine-tuned counterbalance control without requiring re-rigging. The base retains a standard Manfrotto plate for direct tripod attachment.
Modularity is central to the design. Users can remove handles and follow focus motors to create a stripped-down configuration. The system transitions between shoulder rig, VCT plate mounting, and tripod-only setups without additional hardware, addressing the needs of solo operators who cannot rely on crew assistance for camera reconfiguration.
The design philosophy prioritizes rapid deployment for time-sensitive productions. Operators can switch from shoulder-mounted operation to gimbal-compatible or stationary setups by removing the VCT plate, maintaining camera positioning on standard rods throughout transitions. A magic arm accessory combined with the quarter-twenty mounting point provides alternative follow focus mounting when standard rosette positioning is unavailable.
Smallrig positions the SR 009 as a universal rigging solution for independent filmmakers, content creators, and solo shooters who require flexible equipment configurations across different production scenarios. The system addresses the logistical challenges of managing camera weight and setup time on professional film sets where crew availability is limited.
