Can a counterweight be added to the back shoulder piece, and if so, how?

I tied a 2.5 pound plate to the back velcro strap, eventually took it off though because it was too awkward. I just use the shoulder rig as is now with no counterweight. If you look around a little more, I believe there is an updated version of this shoulder rig out there that has a counterweight already mounted to the back shoulder piece.

I think you would be able to do it if you find a way to attach it to the back shoulder piece, you'd have to find your way around it with some tools, i mean, its not simple but it sure can be done.

Didn't find an answer...After 1year and a half.Tried everything..It didn't work.And if you use it like that your hands are going to fall down...I use it with a canon hfg10,small camera...If you want to use this rig with something bigger....forget about it.

I did added a custom weight on the back but had a machine shop guy customize it, now have near 2 pound on the back

I have no idea what counter weights would be not included. Everything need was included...nothing had to be purchased separately.

Hi Jenny,When doing kickbacks it is difficult to alleviate the weights from grazing my side. When doing extensions, I must hold the weight by the ends, in which case the opposite end hits my shoulder. I still find I can workout effectively- but it is sort of a headache. I definitely would not bother with any other type of set however- unless you can find one which is much smaller, as this set seems well made thus far. Also though, if you are looking to just maintain good physical fitness, and are not too concerned with having varying weight capabilities, you may want to consider some kettlebells as those would definitely fix the problem of bulk. I hope this helps! Best wishes. Hi Jenny,When doing kickbacks it is difficult to alleviate the weights from grazing my side.

Yes. At least an additional 50lb weight stack. Model SP50. Go to Body Solid.com for all info and accessories.

Yes - and no. There are instructions to put the bands over your shoulders and lean forward. It kind of hurt the tops of my shoulders. I would think it should be part of your strengthening routine but not all.

Anything is possible... Someone already suggested cutting 3" off both ends and then drilling 2 new holes to add the hanging end pieces. This should allow the proper balance overall... It is not a rack meant to hold a bunch of pots or heavy items. I still think that it is one of our best purchases to save space etc..We did not use the hanging chains only screw in hooks, because we are a house of tall folks!

Yes, but it is super easy to do. I'm not used to assembling furniture, but the instructions are easy to understand. I had no trouble with the back staying on or any other part of it. I did buy more substantial hardware at Lowes.

Yes; it's pretty easy to place on the right shoulder. The left shoulder would be more difficult because of the placement of the velcro fasteners.

I have not done it, but from the looks of it I don't see what not. One thing to note, you should not use this for heavy items as it will sag in the back. The only support is in front.

No, but assembly consists of attaching the back to the base. I am assembly-retarded (I build software, not hardware!) and I was able to do it. The only bit that confused me was the cable guide for the posturefit assembly; it goes on the underside of the base on the back, but on the side of the frame facing towards the front (you'll see the cable assembly guide has a groove in it that matches an extrusion on the base). Once I figured that out it was fairly easy.

Yes you can! The Cowboy Studio Shoulder Support is completely adjustable, and can be set for a variety of situations. You won't regret buying this inexpensive , yet valuable tool for your production arsenal.

My guess is that it couldn't. The back is simply fabric. There is no rigid back.

There is a shoulder component you can get. They claim its the same thing the postal works use to keep the bad from sliding off. I purchased one and it works great...on Amazon.

Hmmm, why would you want to add weights to one side? You can place one foot in the center and exercise it alone. It would work with weight on one side (as long as it's not enough to tilt it), I guess, but why?

You don't have to add the side but the balance will be off. I tried and it seemed to fall forward.

Optional counterweight to extend weight range to 490lbs is available. Not needed if you weigh less than 390lbs.

I don't think you can add arms......if you have good balance then it will work for you...if not, need one with arms
