Overview

Overview

The Easyrig Vario 5 provides the same advantages as other Easyrig models, with the added benefit of being able to adjust the line tension to adapt to many different cameras and configurations. The Easyrig Vario 5 still delivers the same steady hand held shots while relieving strain on your back, neck and shoulders. The load is redistributed to the hips allowing you to shoot hand held in comfort for hours.

The Easyrig Vario 5 has an adjustable payload range from 11-38 lb (5-17 kg). By turning the adjustment screw located on the back, you can easily change the tension and/or power of the line. 16mm, 35mm, and digital cameras will all fit on this versatile stabilizer rig.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When combined with the Stabil, the complete system features a maximum camera load of 38 lb (17 kg). 

This Easyrig Vario 5 system includes: 

  • Easyrig Vario 5 with Small Gimbal Rig Vest (payload capacity: 11-38 lb)
  • Lockable Camera Hook
  • Hip Belt (made from breathable material)
  • User Manual
  • Transport Bag

This system uses the Gimbal Rig Vest, offering extra support and the ability to carry the camera further away from the body due to its wider front, plus its form fit around the waist and over the hips. When the vest is adjusted properly you should feel the weight of the camera primarily on your hips. It is also important that the support bar is vertical. If not, the load will be unevenly distributed on the hips causing the camera to possibly contact the bar.

The waist belt adjustment should be tightened so that the vest doesn't slide down around the hips but sits firmly on the hips. The shoulder straps are mainly for support and balancing the Easyrig. They prevent it from tilting. When attaching the hook onto the camera, you might find it easier to set the camera on a table or a bench first. Try and find the balancing point of the camera then secure the hook at that point on the handle and tighten the lock on the camera hook. Don't forget to fasten the safety line between the camera handle and the vest.

STABIL Arm

The Easyrig STABIL Arm (included) is incorporated into the Easyrig system to make the weight distribution as even and ergonomic as possible. The Easyrig STABIL can be mounted to both the Vario 5 and Cinema 3 (sold separately). It features a standalone payload capacity of 11-55 lb (5-25 kg). With the Gimbalrig vest and the Vario 5 system, STABIL weighs 17.6 lb (8 kg), with a maximum camera payload of 11-38 lb (5-17 kg). 

Shooting from the Hip

The Easyrig Vario 5 offers freedom to shoot at varied height levels ranging from the shoulder to the waist, simply by moving the camera down from your shoulder. With the Vario 5 you should feel only a fraction of the camera's weight.

The manufacturer recommends when shooting from hip level you should lean slightly backwards while pushing the camera forward. This minimizes the load on your back. Due to the extended length of the suspension line, you can position your camera as car forward as your arms can reach.

NOTE: Be sure to center the Support Bar vertically on your back. When it is lopsided, the camera load will be unevenly distributed across your hips. Not only is this potentially uncomfortable, but the camera might hit the bar.

The Easyrig company use only the highest quality materials and components in Easyrig units.

All Easyrigs are careful hand built and tested in Sweden.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Always hold the camera when working with the Easyrig Vario 5. There is a safety strap which you can use to attach to the camera and vest. Also, never undo the hip belt buckle when the camera is attached to the Easyrig Vario 5. The weight of the camera will pull the top of the Easyrig Vario 5 down and you could potentially lose control of the camera. Additional precautions in the manufacturer's instruction manual should be heeded for safe operation of Easyrig Vario 5.
