SONY FX6 Z-Flncler Recoil
The Sony FX6 Z-Finder Recoil Rig is a shoulder rig designed specifically for the Sony FX6 camera. This is a Next Generation Recoil rig designed for optimal balance and comfort when shoulder mounted or on a tripod. With lenses and cameras being similar weights, the balance point is where the lens meets the camera body. In a shoulder mount rig, the balance point needs to be directly over your shoulder, which puts the camera behind you. The Recoil rig adjusts for that balance point and relocates focus, monitoring, and camera controls forward. This creates a lighter, shorter, and properly balanced rig.
