K-Tek Announces ProShot Four-In-One Rig

News Image
K-Tek has introduced ProShot, a four-in-one rig that supplies support needs for the feature, reality, documentary, commercial and action sports videographers.

The ProShot can be configured into a Shoulder Rig, Monopod, Stabilizer or High-hat, tool free, without removing the camera from the system's baseplate.
Aimed at digital cameras weighing up to 20 pounds, the ProShot has a steadying ballast weight to offset larger loads. It features a 3.8-pound (1.7kg) Hexweight that is positioned in a variety of configurations to provide the right amount of mass to balance the camera package.
In Shoulder Rig mode, the system is in its most compact configuration. ProShot's padded neoprene cushion is positioned on the shoulder, the Hexweight is positioned behind the user to optimise balance. The camera can be moved forward and back along the shoulder or by extending the telescoping tubes. At the front, a set of Motocross handgrips ensures a solid and comfortable grip.
ProShot can transform into a 4'8" (1.46m) tall Monopod without tools. The camera is adjusted via the system’s swivel/tilt head, the five telescoping sections are extended and the Hexweight becomes a weighted foot. The Monopod's height can be adjusted with the simple K-Tek clamping system and the weighted foot gives the monopod a stable base without the top heaviness of traditional monopods.
ProShot achieves its Stabilizer Mode by holding the rig vertically and adjusting the swivel/tilt head to level out the camera. The ProShot handles can easily unlock and lock into different positions around the rig. In this mode the handgrips are horizontal and guide the camera rig as the Hexweight below helps smooth the camera's motion.
