IDX System Technology ST-7R Shoulder Adapter Rig - PROTECH

IDX System Technology ST-7R Shoulder Adapter Rig - PROTECH is a shoulder adapter rig that turns a small handheld camcorder into a more stable ENG-style package. It adds a shoulder pad for better balance and integrates power distribution through a V-mount battery holder or a DC 12V input, so you can keep the camera and accessories on a cleaner, more predictable power path.

Highlights

• Shoulder conversion for handheld camcorders to support longer takes with steadier handling.
• V-mount battery holder built into the rig for on-board power and improved balance.
• DC 12V input via XLR 4P male for external supply workflows
• Accessory-friendly outputs including XLR 4P female, CAMTAP x2, and MINI 4P camera output
• BNC joint connectors help keep signal cabling organized at the rig

Why It Helps

This rig is built for the two pressure points that show up fast on real shoots: operator fatigue and messy power. A shoulder form factor stabilizes handheld work, and centralized DC distribution reduces adapter stacking and loose battery solutions. Keep your accessory load within the 50 W max output budget, and the ST-7R becomes a clean, serviceable platform for ENG, event, and documentary workflows.

• Supports DC input via 4-pin XLR and a V-mount battery holder for flexible power sourcing
• Total available DC output is rated up to 50 W max, so plan accessory draw with headroom.
• BNC joint connectors can simplify cable routing when building a compact shoulder package
• The manual emphasizes secure locking and mounting practices when attaching the camera and tripod adapters.
• Operating range is specified at 0°C to 40°C, with storage from -20°C to 60°C
