The Evolution of Handheld

Hold the Camera, not the Weight

FIELD TESTED, OPERATOR APPROVED

Testimonials

This is a game changer. This changed my career, I can't say enough great things about it. I can shoot for hours at a time without any pain. I can just focus on the shot. I absolutely love this rig. I wish I'd had this when I was a young operator. This is an essential tool you have to have as a handheld camera operator.

The Ergorig has massively changed handheld for me. Evenly distributed weight on your body, compact size and very comfortable on top of that. No problem slinging an Alexa SXT and Panavision Primo Anamorphics all day, not that you should...

I’ve always had concerns about the long term health costs of excessive handheld operating. The Ergorig’s distribution of the weight allows me to still have naturalistic and organic handheld with no restrictions. It’s like having a bionic back!

Balance is the key if you’re operating a camera handheld. You don’t want to be struggling to hold a shot instead of focusing on what’s in the frame... I’ve made adjustments to my Ergorig so I feel confident that I can get a shot when I put it on. Once you feel comfortable you can throw any camera on your shoulder.

I can’t imagine how my back would feel without this thing. I have an Easyrig as well but I love how fast I was able to move around with this thing and get the shots I like to get from the shoulder.

If you're a camera operator who value health and longevity for handheld cameras, this is one of the best investments to have.

I've had my Ergorig for many years and have used it for all my handheld operating. It has been a true back saver!

Handheld, 70-200 mm Panavision Short Zoom + Ergorig + condor up 20’ plus on the air no problem.

Eduardo Fierro

Shrinking, Mindhunter, The Lincoln Lawyer

I absolutely love this device. Every time I strap it on and throw a heavy build on my shoulder I'm impressed by how weightless the camera feels. It really is mind-blowing how it redistributes the weight to your hips and makes handheld operating so much more comfortable.

You guys save my back!

I love my ErgoRig! I’ve been told countless times that camera operating will eventually destroy my back, but I can reassure them that I’ll be okay. I’ve always enjoyed handheld operating, but now I can keep up with the guys... 100% worth the investment for anyone regardless of how strong you think you are.

I’m feeling no back pain from the shoot days! Thank you for making such a wonderful device.

These are great, a must for hand held, you can move and op how you would normally handheld so you’re not fighting input on a tethered string.

Busted my right shoulder in a non work accident that required surgery. After months of being sidelined, the Ergorig helped me get back in the saddle pain free.

Since I discovered Ergorig, I can film for hours without back pain and enjoy my work like it's the first day again.

The Ergorig is a perfect tool for handheld cam ops in the broadcasting world. Working back-to-back days, 10+ hours each day, you need the support. I am able to wake up each day ready to work because of the Ergorig.
