Hold your DSLR with Easyrig Mini Camera Help



Johan, the inventor of the easyrig created a brand new version of his handheld camera stabilization backpack, the easyrig mini which is especially targeted at people like myself when I am covering a convention like NAB. I was applying the easyrig mini myself although producing the video above by the way.

The Easyrig Mini Camera Support supports as much as 9 lbs of camera weight, relieves the strain of that weight from your arms, and leaves you only with all the job of maneuvering the camera in preferred directions. (For cameras weighing more than 9 lbs, please see the Mini Powerful.)

 For attaching to a camera, the Easyrig options a rubber-grip, spring-backed hook that clamps onto a camera deal with. The hook tightens securely in place by a knob on its side. If your camera does not possess a manage, you'll be able to attach an optional common-sized 1/4"-20 or hot-shoe handle to it, no matter if you happen to be working with a DSLR or camcorder. A protective transport bag also comes integrated and fits not simply the Easyrig but also your camera and numerous of its accessories.

 Tied into a sturdy knot on the underside from the hook is actually a high-quality Marlow rope which can take care of up to 440 lbs of weight pressure. Marlow ropes are known across quite a few industries, such as yacht racing, windsurfing, and climbing. The rope is bound for the lower portion of a crane-resembling help bar, and its resistance energy is controlled by a knob on the Easyrig's back cover. 4 more knobs allow you to adjust the height from the assistance bar. As well as a hip strap securely wraps the Easyrig about your waist.

 I must also point out that the one particular downside I could assume of is that the spring loaded cable does not run as smoothly as some delicate tilt movements would need. A downside I'm prepared to take in return for an unexpectedly smooth and straightforward camera operation. Quite convenient when you are running around shooting for 4 days, 9 hours per day.

Just Direct the Camera: Supports up to 9 lbs of camera weight, All that's left to suit your needs to perform is regulate the camera and Relieves the strain of weight out of your arms.

The easyrig has grow to be an crucial a part of my kit to cover an occasion like NAB and I wouldn't go with out it anymore. It holds my HDSLR rig for me which indicates I can simultaneously use zoom and focus and on top rated of that it saves my back. I traded in my bigger easyrig that I used last year for this a single and applied it for all of the NAB 2012 coverage videos, except Dante's Prime Circle feature.
