The ergonomic evolution of handheld
SOCIETY OF CAMERA OPERATORS 2022 TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNER
BEST CAMERA SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY
IT TAKES THE WEIGHT, YOU JUST OPERATE.
We can now have the freedom of an untethered handheld camera without compromising our back health. The concept is simple: prevent spinal compression while allowing an operator to operate handheld like they would traditionally, without affecting the camera's movement or balance. 100% of the weight is transferred from your shoulder and back to your hips, bypassing your spine entirely. There is a way to handhold a camera ergonomically, and this is it.

CenterFit
You spoke and we listened. We are committed to Ergorigs fitting all body types, and after a lot of feedback from women operators since our release, we would like to introduce you to the new Ergorig CenterFit. This redesign offers the same weight transfer and Undersling hookup as the original Ergorig, but with the front strut sitting in the center of your chest for added comfort.
We don’t have any products to show here right now.
TESTIMONIALS
What’s amazing to me is how the camera sits level on the shoulder. There’s no tendency for the camera to slide down or any need to tighten muscles to compensate for the slope of your own shoulder. With the Ergorig, the weight of the camera is distributed to the body making long handheld takes much more comfortable.
You throw a camera on your Ergorig and the first thing you think is, ‘Where did the weight go?’ The ergorig is comfortable, adjustable, and doesn’t restrict movement.

The Ergorig is a great relief from your normal aches of handheld camera operating. It allows you to work in the way you are used to while preventing back pain.
