The Easyrig Vario 5 with Cinema 3 Vest and 9" Extended Arm is a body-worn support system that is adjustable to support camera rigs weighing 11 to 38 lb. The system works by using a suspension line to support the weight of the gimbal rig, taking the load off your shoulder, neck, and arm muscles and distributing it across your torso. The tension line is adjustable by turning a screw in the back, letting you dial in the appropriate amount of tension for your rig. The system consists of the Cinema 3 double shoulder vest, a Vario 5 standard support bar, and a 9" extended support arm. A carrying bag is also included for convenient storage and transport of the Easyrig system.

Q: 7. Hi. I am considering this with the Flowcine Gravity One. Do I need to order the Cinema 3 or the Gimbal Rig to work with that? I assume the Cinema 3? Camera is a Varicam35. Thanks for a quick reply.

A: Sounds like the Cinema 3 will do the trick. I cant remember the weight range of Cinema 3 but be sure that your total built camera is in the weight range or you will not be happy with the performance of the EasyRig. I went with the Vario because I expect to run different size and weight cameras on my Gimbal rig. Good luck!

Q: 8. Can the vest be detached and washed in a washing machine?

A: The Vest can be detached. However it is not recommended to place into a washing machine due to metal mechanical components still attached to the vest. Instead the Manufacture recommends hand washing using a brush and mild detergent. Then after that air drying the system.

Q: 9. I'm wanting to get an easy rig along with serene and ronin 3 axis gimbal. This seems to be the ideal vest. The work I will be doing with it will range from television/feature film work where an Alexa or similar would be on board but also there would be some doc work where perhaps I am using something like a C300 or Sony FS7. My question is whether the 9 extended arm is suited for all these cameras? Also if you wanted to use the easy rig without the ronin, can this same vest be used in a more classic easy rig hand held camera configuration? Just trying to balance one system for these two worlds

A: I can't speak to all the cameras but I shoot RED and Sony often with this. Its actually more useful as a hand held than with the ronin for me personally. While its very useful with the Ronin, a great deal of shots are limited by its range. I find myself shooting closer to the ground than the easy rig allows comfortably.

Q: 10. Hi, I'm a Movi-Pro operator and looking for a rig to use it with, and separately for just the camera sometimes too. My question is, which is better, 5" arm extension or 9" arm extension? I've used an EasyRig 2, I believe, with no arm extention and it was a waste of time and energy having to hold it far out front.

A: 5 inches and 9 inches are not that far apart and depending on your setup, physical size and arm reach there is some overlap where either option may work for you. So to help you decide I'd look at the options like this: If you felt that the Easyrig with the standard arm was "too close" but "usable" then the 5" model will probably work for you If you felt that the standard arm was "way too close" and "completely unusable" then the 9" model is probably best.
