EASYRIG + BLKBRD MANTIS

Easyrig is a vest that transfers the camera’s weight from the operator’s arms to the lower back and hips. The camera hangs on a sprung line, so even long takes stay comfortable. The BLKBRD Mantis adds vertical stabilisation on top: an elastic system absorbs the up-and-down bounce of walking and running. Handheld shots come out smooth and natural without a gimbal — none of the Steadicam float, none of the usual handheld jitter. The system carries cameras from 2 to 18 kg, with elastics chosen to match the payload.
