The Arca-Swiss Shoulder Stock for Action Photography

Introducing the (BIF) BullsEye™

The Shoulder Stock, Evolved

Hi fellow photo enthusiasts!

I'm pleased to announce that after 18 months of design and prototype testing, my latest project has just gone live!

The Idea

Last year, a client with a background in manufacturing approached me with the idea of modernizing the classic camera shoulder stock. Existing products were just not sturdy or reliable enough to support DSLRs and modern lenses. We then set out to design a modern shoulder stock that any photographer would be comfortable using.

The result was the (BIF) BullsEye™, the first camera shoulder stock to be fully adjustable and Arca-Swiss compatible. You can use the (BIF) BullsEye with lenses as large as a 500 f/4 provided they have an Arca-Swiss style lens plate.

Our design is fully adjustable and includes a double dove-tail rail. The shoulder mount pivots to allow effortless tracking of overhead subjects. The shoulder pad reverses for left and right shoulder shooting , and the removable handle allows you to mount it to a monopod to create a lightweight mobile support system in the field.

Our next step is production. We need your support to initiate our first production run.

(BIF)BullsEye: The Modern Shoulder Stock

We've spent over 18 months optimizing the (BIF) BullsEye's design for comfort and ease of use in the field. Our unique design is fully adjustable to allow photographers to tailor the fit to their body size and dominant eye. The unique pivoting stock allows you to shoot overhead subjects with ease.

Fully Adjustable & Customizable

The (BIF) BullsEye has a user adjustable stock angle, adjustable top clamp, and removable handle. The offset shoulder pad can be reversed for left or right shoulder shooting.

The (BIF) BullsEye's pivoting stock allows you to easily hand-hold big glass when tracking flying subjects. I used my 300/2.8 VR for this sequence.

Revolutionize Monopod Shooting

I hate using my monopod for wildlife shooting. I always seem to end up with the camera smashed into my face for support. The (BIF) BullsEye allows you to brace the camera with your shoulder and delivers stability that I've never before experienced with a monopod. It's perfect with an monopod tilt-head!

Preorder the (BIF) BullsEye™

While we've done all of the prototyping and design testing on our own, we need your help to fund the first production run of (BIF) BullsEyes. We have launched a Kickstarter campaign which will give you the opportunity to get one of the first BullsEyes off of the production line for below retail price. This unique opportunity will end on October 16th, 2017.

As a special bonus, our first 20 backers will also receive a carrying strap courtesy of Think Tank Photo.

Not ready to preorder? You can still contribute to the project and have your name and website URL listed on our backer page when we reach our goal.

We have 30 days to meet our Kickstarter goal so that we can begin delivering the (BIF) BullsEye to photography enthusiasts world-wide.
