Easyrig Vario 5 with Gimbal Rig Vest and 5" Extended Arm
Key Features
  • 11 to 38 lb Load Capacity
  • Reduces Strain on Arms, Neck & Shoulders
  • Adjustable Line Tension
  • Gimbal Rig Vest
The Easyrig Vario 5 with Gimbal Rig Vest and 5" Extended Arm is a body-worn support system that is adjustable to support camera rigs weighing 11 to 38 lb. The system works by using a suspension line to support the weight of the gimbal rig, taking the load off your shoulder, neck, and arm muscles, and distributing it across your torso. The tension line is adjustable by turning a screw in the back, letting you dial in the appropriate amount of tension for your rig. The system consists of the Gimbal Rig vest, a Vario 5 standard support bar, and a 5" extended support arm that has been pre-drilled for the Flowcine Serene. As the name suggests, the Gimbal Rig vest is optimized for use with motorized gimbal stabilizers, providing increased lower back support that allows you to carry weights further away from your body. A carrying bag is also included for convenient storage and transport of the Easyrig system.

Hi, I'm a Movi-Pro operator and looking for a rig ...

Hi, I'm a Movi-Pro operator and looking for a rig to use it with, and separately for just the camera sometimes too. My question is, which is better, 5" arm extension or 9" arm extension? I've used an EasyRig 2, I believe, with no arm extention and it was a waste of time and energy having to hold it far out front.
Asked by: Jason
5 inches and 9 inches are not that far apart and depending on your setup, physical size and arm reach there is some overlap where either option may work for you. So to help you decide I'd look at the options like this: If you felt that the Easyrig with the standard arm was "too close" but "usable" then the 5" model will probably work for you If you felt that the standard arm was "way too close" and "completely unusable" then the 9" model is probably best.

For Gimbal work, MoviPro, is a 5" extended arm or the 9" extended arm better? Currently shooting with a Canon C500 and want to be able to use both the Movi and without the Movi. Earlier this year I rented a friend's EasyRig 2.5 and had to push the Movi far out in front of my body, which made the EasyRig basically useless, the weight was in front of the arm.
Asked by: Jason
For gimbal work, 9" arm extensions or 5" arm extensions with Flowcine Serene stabilizer would be optimal for distance from body. If you need to do double duty, then the 5" arm may be able to work for your needs without being at the extreme ends of the standard arm or 9".

Can anyone recommend a hard case option for flying with the Vario 5?
Asked by: Anthony
For the Easyrig Vario 5 with Gimbal Rig Vest and 5- Extended Arm, the Pelican 1650 Case with Foam (Black) (BH #PE1650FB), would support the dimensions of the Easyrig, when disassembled. https://bhpho.to/3cM3vJT

Are you able to adjust the extended arm? I'm 5'7 and with the Minimax, I find myself to short for taller talent. But how comfortable is the extended arm in most cases?
