Easyrig 5 Vario - Manual (Page 11)

Some practical advice
• Try to keep the camera as close to your body as possible, to avoid unnecessary
strain on your back.
• When filming upwards, you might find it easier if you have the camera tucked
under your arm.
• When filming at hip level during longer periods of time, rest the camera on the
hip belt to increase stability.
• Use the Easyrig vario 5 for transporting your camera to and from the filming
site.
• When folding your Easyrig vario 5 for storage, always make sure to tuck the
upper part of the support arm inside the hip belt and fasten the buckle at the
back of the hip belt. This will prevent the suspension line from wearing.
• If your Easyrig vario 5 will be inactive for more than a couple of months, make
sure to store it standing up. This will keep the shock absorber gasket from
drying out.
