Using the Easyrig Vario 5

It´s easy to get into the Easyrig vario 5 vest, just as with a backpack. 

Your Easyrig vario 5 is loaded with adjustments for your customized 

comfort.

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.

Shooting from the Hip

The Easyrig vario 5 gives you the freedom to shoot at various height 

levels, from the shoulder to the waist by simply moving the camera down 

from your shoulder. You should feel only a fraction of the camera´s weight.  

 

When shooting at hip level, lean slightly backwards while pushing the 

camera forward. This will minimize the load on your back. The length of 

the suspension line makes it possible to position the camera as far as your 

arms can reach.
