The Easyrig Vario 5 is a highly adaptable and versatile camera support system designed to accommodate a wide range of professional camera setups. With an adjustable spring that supports payloads from 5kg to 17kg, it effectively transfers the camera’s weight from the operator’s arms and back to their hips, allowing for longer, more comfortable shooting. It is a workhorse for documentary, commercial, and narrative productions using various camera sizes.

Precise Tension Adjustment
The Vario 5’s strength is its adjustable tension. Always fine-tune the spring tension to match your exact camera and accessory weight. The goal is for the camera to feel almost weightless in your hands.
Harness Compatibility
The Vario 5 can be used with different Easyrig vests (Standard, Cinema, Gimbal). Ensure the chosen vest provides optimal comfort and weight distribution for your body type and shooting style.
Long-Term Comfort
For extremely long shooting days, frequently adjust your posture and take short breaks. The Easyrig dramatically reduces fatigue, but proper body mechanics are still important.
Dynamic Shots
Practice complex camera movements like walking, running, or low-angle shots. The Vario 5 enables smoother, more controlled motion than unsupported handheld shooting.
Attaching Accessories
Be mindful of how you attach additional accessories (e.g., external monitors, wireless video transmitters) to your camera rig when using the Easyrig. Distribute weight evenly to maintain balance.
