Made in the USA, our above rig showcases iDC’s “Whole Shootin’ Match” version of the U-Boat Commander III™ which is available now at the iDC Photo Store.

From the iDC Photo Store:

This is the whole shootin’ match!

This kit includes everything in Kit II plus our Adjustable Shoulder Brace and two Cold Shoes. The Adjustable Shoulder Brace may be used like a rifle stock that is pulled into the shoulder or extended to reach over the shoulder for a higher eye-point. The Adjustable Shoulder Brace forms a wide-base table top tripod that is very stable. When this rig is tripod mounted, the Adjustable Shoulder brace also acts as a convenient pan-and-tilt handle. With this kit, you get everything you need to custom configure your UBC for any situation, from simple to challenging. All UBC kits quickly disassemble for compact packing.

* Form-fitting black-anodized aluminum baseplate
* Black-anodized aluminum Top Bridge Plate
* Black-anodized aluminum Balancing Block
