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 3 for transporting your camera to and from the filming site.
• When folding your Easyrig 3 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 3 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.
• Use mild soap if you want to get rid of dirt on the vest.
• Check the rope from wear and tear at least once every month.
