Congratulations on your new Easyrig!
Easyrig is patented and specially designed by a photographer
for professional photographers. It can be used with both
video and lm cameras. EASYRIG is manufactured in Sweden
and has been ergonomically tested with optimal results.
EASYRIG gives you the advantages of both a handheld camera
and tripod mounted camera; i.e. with the speed and mobility
of the handheld camera you can still achieve steady pictures.
EASYRIG relieves your back and shoulders. The load is redis-
tributed to the hips so that you can concentrate on the actual
lming. You won’t suffer from a strained back or shoulders as
you would from normal handheld shooting and you will be able
to work for longer periods of time.
After you are nished with your Easyrig, just fold it and put
it in the specially designed Petrol bag that your Easyrig is
delivered in.
Easyrig will be your best tool when you do sport events, documentaries, news, yes, any occasion where handheld camera is
required.
To get most out of your Easyrig, please read the user manual
carefully.
Have fun!

Using the Easyrig
It is as simple to put the Easyrig on as it is with a backpack.
Just don’t forget to adjust it so it feels comfortable.
The weight of the camera should primarily be on your hips. It
is important that the support bar is vertical – if it is lopsided,
the load will be unevenly distributed on the hips and the camera might hit the bar.
The hip belt should be tightened so that the rig doesn’t slide
down or around the hips. The shoulder strap is mainly for balancing the Easyrig, and prevent it from tilting.
If the support arm is too high or too low, rst try adjusting
the support bar in relation to the hip belt/vest, or change position of your hips. It is also possile to adjust the tube inside
the support bar, but that might require adjusting the tightness of the suspension line. Note that there must not be more
than 10 cm (4 in) between the lower end of the tube and the
adjustment ring.
When attaching the hook onto the camera, you might nd it
easier to put the camera on a table or a bench rst. Try and
nd the right balance before you secure the hook.
Don’t forget to fasten the safety line.
Hip shots
Easyrig gives you the freedom to shoot from various levels.
You simply move the camera down from your shoulder as you
would in an ordinary handheld situation – only now you don’t
feel more than a fraction of the camera’s weight.
When shooting at hip level, lean backwards when pushing the
camera forward, thus minimising the load on your back.
The length of the suspension line makes it possible to move
the camera as far as your arms reach.
