Johan!
I am really satisfied with Easyrig.
Johan!
Thanks,
Johan!
Thanks,
I can honestly say that if I lost my Easyrig, I would not hesitate to buy a new one. It is the best investment to make a hard job easier. Bernd

I own the Cine Model and I actually have to 2 lbs when I shoot video to balance them out. I have been thinking of building a bracket so i could mount the post on a dolly. Maybe we could talk about this possibility. Im sending you some photos. I will look for video of me using the rig. In several shots I am using the Easyrig in low mode with VR glasses. Notice i also have added a bungiecord which I use to secure the arm to keep it from hitting folks. Bob

This
mail arrived December 29 2005
This letter came to us March 19, 2005 Dear Easyrig folks,
I remembered seeing an ad for Easyrig and did some research on the web about it. I ended up ordering one and have been thrilled with the product. It was so easy to use and it really kept the camera weight off my shoulder and back. I thought it would take some time to get use to but I shot a commercial the day I got it. It was fantastic! I feel that I can continue in my career now with Easyrig. Thank you so much for designing and building such an innovative and useful product. I really appreciate the quality of materials and workmanship in it as well. Sincerely, Richard
Marshall

I strongly recommend Easyrig and know that many production companies that do reality-Tv often put the cost of the Easyrig into there budget, they know they will have better materials. Per Norberg

Zimmermann, our agent in Denmark, filming the Danish general
election campaign on November 7, 2001. After working as a photographer
for the Danish TV2 for many years, Peter started working at Zimmermann
Film & Videoteknik, which was established by Peter’s father
Poul, also a photographer. When the Danish TV2 are producing bigger
events, Peter often helps them out by returning to his former profession.
One of their customers is famous filmmaker
Lars von Trier, who likes using the Easyrig himself while filming
his latest film 'Dogville'.

"Anders
Falk is a Swede in Hollywood who among other things freelances as a cameraman.
Already ten years ago he benefited from an Easyrig while documenting the
making of James Cameron's Titanic, where many hours were spent wading
in the water, and there was no opportunity to put down the heavy BetaCam
on a dry spot. In recent years small handheld digital video cameras of
high quality and low cost have become more common on professional shoots,
so Falk was pleased to welcome the introduction of the Turtle-X, intended
for these often ergonomically uncomfortable cameras.

"I
shoot a lot of live sports events for Danish TV.
"Thanks
for fixing up my Easyrig. I love the new fitted design on the waist
belt. I have used the Easyrig I think for about 5 or six years.
It is still my back saver every day. I have been shooting on all of these
Reality shows the past few years. The camera seems to stay up for most
of the 12 to 14 hour shifts. I can honestly say I would not be doing these
shows without Easyrig. I love the ability to cover conversations
off the hip without all the shake and all the strain. Monday night on
NBC starts a new show I worked on called "Looking For Love".
I was the only camera with an Easyrig. It was three weeks of long
days and heavy cameras. I survived, had fun, and shot well all because
of my Easyrig. I think I may have made a few converts. I try to
tell people that it takes a week or two to get used to it. You have to
make it your own. When I first got it, I thought how does this help? After
a week I learned how to make it work for me. Now I think of it as part
of me when I step on the set. 
I
work as an nature and wildlife photographer in the very north of Sweden.
We have snow half of the year, I never have to put my camera in the snow
or on the ground because it is hanging in my Easyrig. Often I have to
walk a couple of kilometer to get to the set so I just hang my camera
to my Easyrig. The persons in the program discuss a lot before we start
recording and I just stays reedy to shoot.
I
have used it for only one major project so far, but it was fantastic.
Out in the forest all day with a group of people, I was needing to move
around and get close up shots of people as they spoke. I have done this
before with out an Easyrig, and by the end of the day I was done, and
my shoulder didn't feel right for a couple of days. With the Easyrig I
was able to run around all day, have my shots be as stable at the end
of the day as they were at the beginning and not be nearly so tired. It
was marvelous.
I've
been using my new 400 EasyRig for the past two weeks - five day per week,
10 hrs per day (the work days are 14 hrs and we have the cameras up for
close to 10 of those hrs) on a cooking show. The tool helps TREMENDOUSLY!
I wish I'd have bought one years ago.
Easyrig
is the greatest invention. I bought it for the World Poker 
"As
a full time Marine wildlife cinematographer, I have the opportunity to
travel most of the year to many countries of the world while shooting
documentaries. Any specialized equipment I can use to improve the final
production is always welcome and to our advantage. I've been using the
easyrig for 3 years now and would not go on location with out one! If
we use two HD cameras on the shoot , we take two Easyrigs."
I
just have to do a statement for my self.
"I have been working with Easyrig for about nine years and it is
great. 
The
Easyrig is great. On some shows I live in it. I shoot a mix of 35 mm and
Super 16 mm features. I also use it on HD and Beta Cam style shoots. It
works great. Of course one of the biggest problems shooting 35 and 16
mm is the weight of the camera. It beats the operator up. Because the
camera is so heavy the assistant constantly has to take the camera from
the operator so he gets exhausted also. A typical scenario goes like this:
The assistant puts the camera on the operators shoulder. The operator
frames up. The director walks to the actors and stars talking. The operator
is starting to get tired and shaky then the shot starts. With the Easyrig
I can stand there comfortably waiting for action. Sometimes I keep the
camera on my shoulder between takes.
I have made a lot of documentaries and Törtlerig makes my job a lot
My
“Greasy-Pig” Easyrig has become an essential part of my kit.
It’s provided an entirely new tool in my arsenal - offering an original
look whilst resolving chronic muscle strain
I
started a new job a few weeks ago and found that the cameras they had
were much heavier than the ones I had been using in my old job. A hand
held camera shoot aggravated an old shoulder injury- caused by a too heavy
camera . I was desperate for a solution to my problem. I have a family
to provide for and I really need to keep this job.
I
have been following the development of Easyrig from the first prototype
that came 6 years ago, and I’m very pleased with my experiences of
it.
I
have been working as an cameraman since 1991, -98 did I do my first reality
show. Easyrig is a back saver that's out of the question. The fact is
that many scenes that I shoot in reality wouldn't have been there without
Easyrig. Easyrig is special good in scenes that is static.I
have hade great use in sport shooting were the handheld camera is following
the match situation all the time.
Hi there,
I wanted to have steady pictures (like Steadycam) , but I couldn't afford
Steadycam. I came up with an idea; to go on rollerblades together with
Easyrig.
I have been training in rollerblades, so I can start and stop filming
without moving my hips – I called this combination Easy-steadycam
. Now I can say that my results are very good and I can shot with Easyrig
for days without any pain in the back. Also I can get from one shot to
another in high speed with steady shot and without shaking.
Easy-Rig – Interesting tool for cameramen allowing changing the
racurs of camera from frog perspective to standard or non-standard angles
in very short time both on ground and ice.
I
have started using Easyrig working on my first Robinson (a.k.a. Survival)
show in Malaysia, 2004. The Easyrig made me capable of filming in very
low angle pictures for a long time without being exhausted of the weight
of the camera. The Easyrig definitely made my life easier working on various
reality shows where the cameraman is put to work around the clock.
When the first Easyrig was made, I immediately started to use it. 
"I
used the Easyrig with a 12 kg camera for 4 or 5 hours, and it was
amazing to wake up the next day without any aches in my back or shoulder
or arm. Many of my colleagues praise the Easyrig and use it often."
"The
Easyrig may sound too good to be true, but it isn't!" 
"I've
never seen anything like the Easyrig!" 
"Once
you've started using Easyrig, you can't be without it."
