Hold your DSLR with Easyrig Mini Camera Support
Johan, the inventor on the easyrig developed a brand new version of his handheld camera stabilization backpack, the easyrig mini which can be specifically targeted at persons like myself when I am covering a convention like NAB. I was using the easyrig mini myself while generating the video above by the way.
The Easyrig Mini Camera Assistance supports as much as 9 lbs of camera weight, relieves the strain of that weight from your arms, and leaves you only together with the job of maneuvering the camera in desired directions. (For cameras weighing greater than 9 lbs, please see the Mini Powerful.)
For attaching to a camera, the Easyrig capabilities a rubber-grip, spring-backed hook that clamps onto a camera take care of. The hook tightens securely in location by a knob on its side. In case your camera does not possess a handle, it is possible to attach an optional common-sized 1/4"-20 or hot-shoe manage to it, whether you happen to be operating having a DSLR or camcorder. A protective transport bag also comes included and fits not just the Easyrig but also your camera and quite a few of its accessories.
Tied into a strong knot on the underside from the hook is a high-quality Marlow rope that will take care of up to 440 lbs of weight pressure. Marlow ropes are recognized across a lot of industries, including yacht racing, windsurfing, and climbing. The rope is bound to the decrease portion of a crane-resembling assistance bar, and its resistance power is controlled by a knob on the Easyrig's back cover. Four added knobs let you adjust the height with the assistance bar. In addition to a hip strap securely wraps the Easyrig around your waist.
I have to also point out that the one particular downside I could think of is that the spring loaded cable does not run as smoothly as some delicate tilt movements would need. A downside I am willing to take in return for an unexpectedly smooth and uncomplicated camera operation. Really practical when you are running about shooting for four days, 9 hours per day.
Just Direct the Camera: Supports up to 9 lbs of camera weight, All that is left for you personally to complete is regulate the camera and Relieves the strain of weight from your arms.
For the DSLR or Camcorder: Attaches to a camera handle by a spring-loaded rubber-grip hook.

Marlow ropes are known across several industries such as marine racing and climbing
The easyrig has turn out to be an essential a part of my kit to cover an event like NAB and I would not go with out it anymore. It holds my HDSLR rig for me which suggests I can simultaneously use zoom and focus and on top rated of that it saves my back. I traded in my larger easyrig that I used last year for this a single and employed it for all the NAB 2012 coverage videos, except Dante's Prime Circle function.
