Easyrig Operating Tips and Tricks

[@KyleJasonLowell]

It took me 9 minutes to realize someone was behind you. 🤙🏻

[@timjacks9387]

I paused the video to see if anyone else had commented this!

[@CodakChris]

lol

[@shemarcollier3457]

Idk why but I had to turn around just incase

[@massakidi]

me too

Same hahahaha

[@scott_stevenson]

The way that Amira handles the highlights is beautiful.

[@wrenrene2275]

he's definitely got some diffusion in front of the lens. you can see the filter in the matte box. looks like either a BPM or glimmerglass

[@msayweddingfilms]

I was looking at that the entire video

[@kidcoma1340]

It‘s a filter not the camera...

[@NikHem343]

@@kidcoma1340 well the roll off and dynamic range are certainly a big part of it, but the diffusion, too, of course

[@albhaegan9053]

Got so much out of this. Thank you for sharing. Feeling way more confident about using my easyrig.

[@WalterTheBalter]

Just picked up a Vario 5 yesterday. Wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@zanin.lindsay]

Picking mine up tomorrow!

[@WalterTheBalter]

Zanin Lindsay the ErgoRig looks absolutely amazing too!

[@Constantine_Films]

Great info mate! Just ordered my first Easyrig today - looking forward to using it, Cheers!

[@raredreamfootage]

The easyrig does influence the feel of the shot. It keeps your hand held results within the range of cinema is how I would put it.

[@boxdotfilm]

I love how simple this video is Thanks!

[@TheAaronalden]

This is the best easyrig video I've seen! Most videos are reviews of knock offs by people who have never used one. Thank you! (I just bought a knockoff at goodwill... but this will get me started!)

[@BenPhanStudios]

Awesome video! What follow focus are you using?

[@ExpressiveImagery]

Really like this demonstration - some great tips on shooting handheld.

[@ebourcier]

Thanks!

[@daveking-sandbox9263]

Sorry to inform you, your little Vox solid-state amp in the corner has nothing to do with the huge Vox tube amps from the 60s. The only similarity is the gold logo. :-) But, you are doing a great job. I will look for an EZ Strong as my gear is not so heavy. Thanks for the info!

[@fattoadfilms]

Really helpful video, thank you. Helped my technique when renting the Vario, and I've just bought the Minimax, which is changing my shooting style in a good way. Thanks Evan.

[@ebourcier]

Glad to help!

[@WalterTheBalter]

Can't wait to get this VARIO 5 for myself.

[@j-o-e-y-j-o-j-o]

Thanks for the video. Can you easily pull off the barrel or is it recommended to have a follow focus with an easy rig? Trying to visualise the orientation and whats the least awkward position for the wrist.

[@ebourcier]

I'd say it depends on the lens more than anything - stills lenses I tend to pull off the barrel, cine lenses I tend to use a FF.

[@j-o-e-y-j-o-j-o]

@@ebourcier thanks. What about the fuji cabrio 19-90, have you tried that?

[@StoneFistedProps]

Great Video Glad to Have you Back, Have been debating Moving Up to an Easy Rig.

[@41vids]

Hi awesome video, I just received my easyrig mini max with stabil light arm, I understand that the top arm needs to be in the “middle” balance holding the gimble+camera, but what about the back knob that controls the rope tension, what is the proper amount of tension of the rope? Are you supposed to let the rope be loose enough so the camera drops slightly? Or super tight? please help and thank you

[@timothyhuang7590]

thank you for making this! really helpful!

[@stevechang2135]

Very nice review and useful tips. Thank you.

[@ebourcier]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alexstevenscreativemedia]

Awesome video, great for preparing for this sort of setup

[@tylerstephenhunt]

Super helpful man. Great video. Just got a Red recently and needed to know how the setup would work. Just what I needed.

[@isaac-nz]

Super informative! Footage looked great, I’m sold on the easy rig now. Can’t wait

[@Belacofficial]

incredible video. Thank you for. break down :)

[@ebourcier]

Glad you liked it!

[@maddogtank8425]

So I've used both an actual easy rig. And I own a flow line from pro. Rig, which would be considered one of those knock off brands and honestly. The easy rig is a lot more comfortable. However, the flow line still gets the job done. And it does so for a fourth of the price. And it is built like a tank. The longevity wise you're probably gonna get 2 years out of it. Versus an easy rig, which I know. Some people who have been running the same easy rig for 5 years. So if you're broke right now, but you're using a heavy a** Rig that you need to get some support for right now. But you don't want a stomach, you know? Renting an easy rig for 70 or $80 a day. Every time you have to shoot, it's perfectly reasonable for you to go for something like the flow line. Or something else? However, at the end of the day, if you have to choose between the two and budget is no option, then of course pick the easy rig

[@martinparzenfilm3498]

great video. i have some problem with my ronin gimbal on it. i have a rig with a serene but there is a bouncing when iam walking . so for up and down movements, maybe a steadycam is the better choice. but love handheld stuff with a easyrig.

[@mjscpr]

That was super useful thanks!

[@ricardooliveira3205]

Great instructions! thanks for sharing. I would be interested to see this rig with ronin or similar. cheers

[@JacobVossFilms]

Some great tips, helpful demonstrations - fantastic all around, thank you for the info!

[@AdamLangdon]

Super grateful for this! Thanks for making!

When the guy is good doing what he does, he can Run and Gun even with an Arri. Great Video Evan. Great video! Thank you. And nice flip flops kkkkk

[@matthewpaquette]

Great video Evan!

[@pixelreflexmedia]

I've been using it for about a week and can't get comfortable wearing it. I keep putting way too much strain on my back. I've adjusted every which way, and I just get fatigued after an hour of use. What tips do you recommend? I use a tilta advance rig/ronin 3 Pro with an external monitor.

[@vividmotion66]

Great Video. Thanks! What is your tip shooting on a gimbal with it? Walking with it would make it worse, right?

[@jeremeyshelton]

Great video! I'd love that Kong S2!

[@kdog24life]

Super helpful. Great video man.

[@bensharples3728]

Thank you so much for this video. Great instructions

[@andreasoberg2021]

Great video. Really interesting. We are considering putting our Red on it together with a Ronin 2. We are a bit worried about the weight of the whole setup though.

[@petervanderham4725]

Got any tips for walking backwards, while to people in front of the camera walk towards it and talk to eachother?

[@westernpigeon]

Peter van der Ham while wearing this, have someone behind you as your eyes basically guiding you where to walk while you’re just paying attention to what’s infront of u

[@SondreFormoLindheim]

Or turn the camera backwards and have your monitor in front of you. Move forward.

[@easyrig]

Great video, Evan!

[@ThomasKaufmanDP]

Thanks for this video. Could you spell out the name of the clip you're using with the EZrig? I couldn't quite make it out when you said it.

[@alltj]

Great video: until 1:51 when you reached down to pull the cable the easyrig was invisible: you wearing black and no light light shining on the device didn’t help for the demonstration. Informative none the less

[@OfTwoLands]

Great info, thanks for that !!

[@studio25vjencanja36]

Excellent video. Thank you very much for sharing :)

[@mckaywatson6411]

Super thorough video! I really appreciate all the insights! Thanks!

[@user-nu8bf3bf9m]

Sensei! I need your opinion. Do you think quick release of easyrig is secure enough? Or should I stick to the normal clip? S2 clip seems to be no longer available so I'm torn between normal clip with kong frog or quick release system easyrig offers.

[@bastienchilloux]

same question, which locking system did you get ?

Where's the link for the clip?

HAHAHAHAH 8 minutes until I saw the girl on the sofa HAHAHAHAHAHHA Great video matte

[@gregorybennett2109]

Really helpful tips. Thanks Evan!

[@indypendent07]

Thanks for the tips!

[@impoze]

Nice one Evan, very informative!

[@daviddejuannavarro291]

would love to see the footage, right now it looks like the room is completely full of fog. Other than that very instructional video. thanks for the tips :)

[@LifeasJV]

Very nice! Your image looks amazing, did you had any filters on your matte box?

[@iamromain]

Is it possible to know what lens do you have on your camera? Thanks.

[@robchado]

Which filter are you using on the Amira? I dig it.

[@timofreee]

looks like 1/2 black promist

[@bencorwin]

Very cool! Thanks!

[@iivanov86]

Just got my EasyRig and tried walking with it... LOL! Needless to say my first thought was "i need to look up how to walk with this thing"... I guess it's just going to be more of a portable weight stand for my Ronin because I can't set that thing down so at least the easyrig can hold it for me when i need to rest my arms. i'm sure i'll get better at it though. the easyrig feels very well made for sure!

[@jamesreed7278]

What handle do you use? You mentioned a sliding handle but I can't seem to find one.

[@MJFloof]

This plus a Onewheel is a serious rig.

[@WillBinks]

What filters were you using in the matte box? Nice look! Thanks

[@benopoku6501]

Is there some type of soft filter in the lens that you used? The shot looked soft and beautiful. i thought your lens was dirty or something.

[@itsjantore]

Cool video. I often prefer the handheld look, so this is an investment I have to make soon.

[@zanin.lindsay]

Hey Evan, very informative! Could you explain what you mean by big camera setup vs a small one? Like where are the thresholds? I am a new RED Scarlet-W owner and am in the process of rigging it out with the production module and other accessories. I'm looking at the Minimax in terms of price but also have the same philosophy of buying the equipment that will last.

[@mannaffolki]

Great video! Subbed right away 👌🏼

[@nocturnalmedia3293]

Perfect video!!

[@raymondedwards5313]

If you have a Ronan MX, do you need a Proaim 2-Axis Equalizer ?

[@IkkiWu]

Hey.... Cheapskate over here... just to drop off some testimony. Watched your video because I got one of those Chinese knock offs to mount my camera... All was well and good. until I watched your video, learned how to operate the guy (great info btw), and shortly thereafter realised that the cable on mine started to fray... Thank GOD it went bust after only a couple test shoots... It's already been approved for returns and as soon as I get the money I'm gunning for the MiniMax.... which btw... do you have any input on? Lesson learned.... Easy Rig was not something I should've cheaped out on.... damn it...

[@ebourcier]

Oh boy sorry to hear that! Glad the camera was ok (I assume). I used to have a mini strong before the vario, had no complaints! I'm sure the minimax is great.

[@IkkiWu]

Evan Bourcier thanks for replying! And duly noted! I can’t wait to join the easy rig family!!

[@BastiMark]

Hey, if i Buy the easyrig minimax on teltec for round about 900$, do I need any other stuff? Or can I use it directly? And can I use it then with my ronin 1?

[@YoungBlaze]

Bro, i thought your furniture was moving in the background untill you moved out the way to see Charlot

[@parsianproductions6596]

Very educating, thank you very much

[@ericsanpablochu]

Is the serene very useful for handheld ?

[@jambred]

What length arm extension do you have? 5 or 9 inch or standard?

[@Zenavesta]

Nice tips Evan, and looking forward to the next video on hard and soft light layering 👍

[@westernpigeon]

what camera r u using it’s beautiful

[@airindiana]

Looks like an ARRI Amira

[@Praxiszooms]

You telling a person what to do in their own home is actually the only disrespectful thing happening.
