Spring Tension Adjustment
Proper spring tension is paramount. The camera should float effortlessly at your desired height. Overly loose or tight tension will counteract the ergonomic benefits. Adjust it precisely for each specific camera and lens configuration.
Ergonomic Fit
Spend time adjusting the vest to ensure a snug and comfortable fit. The Easyrig’s effectiveness in weight distribution relies heavily on the vest being correctly positioned on your body.
Walking & Breathing
Practice walking and moving with the Easyrig to achieve smooth, consistent shots. Focus on engaging your core and legs for movement, allowing your arms to guide the camera with less effort.
Camera Safety
Always ensure the camera is securely attached to the hook. Double-check the locking mechanism before you begin shooting to prevent accidental drops.
Ideal for Longer Lenses
The Mini Strong’s higher payload capacity makes it suitable for setups involving slightly heavier cinema prime lenses or compact zooms that might be too much for smaller support systems.
