The Movcam plate image/link I posted has an integral should pad that sits right below the camera body and kind of in between the for and aft rod holders. Nice feature is that the plate is very low profile as the pad is attached to the underside of the plate, not hung below like on the zacuto. This also slots directly to the Sony VCt-14 plate so it makes for quick on and off the tripod.
The compromise is that the pad is pretty much locked in that one location so the ability to move the camera further back on your shoulder is limited. But with the Gold mount plate hanging on the back you can have decent rear counterbalance
