Easyrig 3 Cinema - Manual (Page 9)


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 or knee level you can remove the eye piece in order
to see better. You could also attach an LCD screen, to get better control
of the shot.
• When shooting at hip level during longer periods of time, rest the
camera on the hip belt to increase stability.
• Avoid getting your clothing creased under the hip belt since it may cause
discomfort.
• Use the Easyrig 3 cinema for transporting your camera to and from the
filming site.
• When folding your Easyrig 3 cinema, always make sure to put 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.
• When filming with a cable, fasten it to the Easyrig 3 cinema in order to
maintain stability.
• If you don’t use your Easyrig 3 cinema for more than a couple of months,
make sure to store it standing up. Otherwise the shock absorber gasket
might dry out.
