FLOWCINE BACK RELIEF PAD
Key Features
- Even Load Distribution for Back Comfort
Designed to distribute the load of the GLINK or sled payload across the entire back—upper, middle, and lower trapezius muscles—reducing pressure points and long-term fatigue. - Quick and Adjustable Mounting
The pad installs in seconds. Simply unlock the center back screw, slide the pad to the ideal height, and lock it back in for a custom ergonomic fit. - Compatible with Front and Back Mounts
Fully compatible with both front-mount and back-mount stabilization setups, making it a flexible choice for all xSPINE vest users. - Customizable Fit with Pad Spacers
Ships with: - Two spacer pads for pressure adjustment
- Soft, breathable 3D mesh foam layer for added comfort
- Spacer pads weigh only 39g each, allowing lightweight customization
- Carbon Fiber Construction
Lightweight yet strong, the CF back plate adds just 180g to your rig without spacers—perfect for maintaining minimal load while enhancing support. - Removable and Reversible
The back relief pad can be easily removed when not needed, thanks to the dual-lock design that replaces the standard stainless steel lock on the xSPINE back skull.
Description
Flowcine xSPINE Back Relief Pad – Ergonomic Back Support Upgrade for GLINK & Sled Operators
The Flowcine xSPINE Back Relief Pad is a high-performance ergonomic accessory designed to enhance comfort, stability, and weight distribution for operators using the Flowcine xSPINE vest, GLINK system, or traditional sled-based stabilization rigs. Built to support the upper, middle, and lower trapezius muscles, this camera operator back support pad reduces fatigue and strain by evenly distributing payload pressure across a larger area of the back.
Unlike standard vest padding that focuses pressure on the upper back, this back relief system expands the contact area, offering a more natural and comfortable feel during long shoot days. The carbon fiber relief plate, breathable mesh foam padding, and included spacer layers give you full control over fit and pressure—whether you’re in a front- or back-mounted rigging configuration.
Lightweight, durable, and quick to mount or remove, the Flowcine Back Relief Pad is the ideal upgrade for camera professionals looking to reduce physical stress and maintain peak performance on set.
