  • Is it a good idea to use a $30,000 video camera on a $250 support rig? Will It hold? Will it be comfortable? Will it even work? Why would you even try?

    I found when using the EasyRig over handheld on heavier cameras, it frees my mind a bit, allowing me more mental energy to focus on composition

    I've had one for several years now and it has worked perfectly with what was my 8kg+ camera rig. I did add extra padding into the back to make it more comfortable and that was easy to rig (pun intended). Even if I owned a genuine Easyrig, I would still never let go of the camera.

    This is really good. I actually have a MiniMax and bought this for a second shooter and it's exactly what you said. It's not as developed but works great with a cinema C300 M2 rig. Def. worth the price for what it does. Fantastic review! T.

    We picked this up for our filming and was shocked how well it handled my zcam-s6 rig setup with dzofilm zoom lens, follow focus, hdmi wireless reciver, ssd card as pretty much a huge setup and handled it very well. As you said only down fall it's not for steady walking shots or steady cam work.

    Great info… my question, I do a lot of high end real estate here in south Florida, have the rs3 pro / fx3…looking to shoot with the fx6 (because the evnds), I understand this easy rig does not stabilize. But with that said , the support it’s will give during the bigger 10 bedroom mansion shoots, when I dart with my slow ninja walk, will the tension of the string holding the camera affect the bounce(and this with me holding it as I would without the the Easy rig)?

    when something is nearly 10x cheaper then the next best option, it becomes hard to justify spending that extra money, when it's hard to know if it's really much better then the cheap stuff.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the point of the Easy Rig, to hold a gimbal, that in turn holds the camera? Otherwise the footage is just as wobbly as handheld.

    I had one of those Chinese knockoffs before. Camera slipped off clip twice. (Thankfully I had my hands on it). Ended up getting the vario 5. Much better and more comfortable especially with the gimbal vest. Yea I know its expensive but it’s cheaper buying from Europe by at least $1000

    • @DanielScottFilms
      @DanielScottFilms 2 года назад +3

      Many people use a stabilizer with a ring grip. It will make for smoother shots but won't completely get rid of the camera rising when walking. I find that a legit Steadicam system (sled, arm, and vest) is the most versatile stabilizer system but costs a ton more and requires training and practice.

    Opened the bag of my safely stored Easyrig - Clone after one year to find out THAT THE GREASE CREEPED OUT OF THE HOUSING WHERE THE LARGE KNOB SITS ON AND IT GUMS UP! Same model as in this video, about 3 years old. The grease has become sticky like tree gum. Isopropyl alcohol and Acetone(!) cannot remove it. I didn't try cleaning solvent or turpentine yet. The backside facing the vest is clean. Looks like the balancing function is gone. Did anyone experience the same problem?

    As a retired Steadicam operator I think these devices are (at first laughable and) incredibly dangerous in numerous circumstances and are a major lawsuit (after seriously injuring or killing an operator) just waiting to happen. There are far, far better shoulder-mounted options that do not endanger the operator in so many conditions. If you can't hold a 20 lb camera without this piece of crap you're doing things wrong and you need to get out of the business... or get a tripod.
    Anything that traps someone inside it without a way to get out or away from it in an emergency is a liability and just STUPID not simply dangerous. Devices like this encourage an operator to take risks with an injurious or deadly downside. Devices are not about what they can do in a positive situation it's about how safe they are when things go array...

      @MrMoviePhoneEx 2 года назад +1

      Haha, AC's are great! And in certain projects we won't crew up without one, but in a lot of smaller commercial projects or personal pet projects - AC's are strictly on the luxury list. My team shoots with c70's, c500mk2's, Alexa Mini's, Action Cams, gimbal setups, cable setups, ect... Owner operators are often their own AC's, it does limit what can happen on set but rarely does it limit the overall project and often, we have to work with what we have.
      To answer your other question - because the more we use our cameras/equipment, expensive or not, the better material we can get with them. Cameras are tools like anything else on set, they are designed to be used in ideal conditions, shit situations, and everything inbetween!
      Cheers,
