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 film 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
filming. 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 finished 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, docu-
mentaries, 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 cam-
era 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 bal-
ancing the Easyrig, and prevent it from tilting.
If the support arm is too high or too low, first try adjusting
the support bar in relation to the hip belt/vest, or change po-
sition of your hips. It is also possile to adjust the tube inside
the support bar, but that might require adjusting the tight-
ness of the suspension line. Note that there must not be more
than 10 cm
