This Vario 5 Kit from Easyrig combines the body-worn Vario 5 camera support system with a Gimbal Vest and a preinstalled FLOWCINE Serene spring arm complete with an extension. Together, these components redistribute weight from your back, neck, and shoulders to your hips while reducing both horizontal and vertical vibrations to produce smoother video. Designed for supporting camera rigs ranging from 11 to 8 lb, this system enables you to capture steady handheld shots in comfort.
Vario 5 Support
- The Vario 5 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.
Gimbal Vest
- The Gimbal Rig Vest is a camera support system for camera operators using the Cinema 3 or Vario 5 handheld gimbal rigs.
- This vest is modified with a wider front, fitting around the waist and over the hips.
- The vest provides lower-back support allows you to carry weights further away from the body.
FLOWCINE Serene
- The FLOWCINE Serene is a two-axis spring arm stabilizer that attaches at the end of the Easyrig (2/2.5/3/Vario 5) arm. It smooths video results by mitigating vertical vibrations induced by walking or running during a tracking shot.
- It also stabilizes side-to-side motion in similar tracking situations by counter-pivoting around its center axis.
- The Serene also allows full use of the Easyrig spring extension for going from high to low mode.
- The Serene supports rigs weighing between 14 and 44 pounds, and the spring tension can be fine-tuned without the use of tools. It works well with the separately available FLOWCINE Gravity One as well as other gimbal rigs like the Freefly MöVI.
