The EzyRig transfers a lot of the weight of the camera off the shoulder and on to the hips reducing the fatigue factor and allowing you to operate the camera much more easily, especially when the camera is in an awkward position. For example when you are shooting from hip level. Check out this clip we put together on the operation of the rig:
On a film such as this, which was predominantly handheld, the Ezy Rig is a tremendous tool. Lucky Country was the first time I had used the EzyRig.
Director Kriv Stenders operates a lot on his own commercials – and he had used the device before. As we were sharing the operating on Lucky Country he was very keen to utilise one and after using it for the first time I was hooked. Helping to set up the camera in the video is Focus Puller John Foster and the guy at the end who looks like a crazy Scandinavian hillbilly is Kriv.
