FLYCAM Basic Flowline Camera Rig Support Vest

PostThu Apr 08, 2021 7:37 am

Anyone used FLYCAM Basic Flowline Camera Rig Support Vest, if yes what's your opinion? What's the main difference this one vs EasyRig Minimax? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1554453-REG/flycam_b_flcm_fln_flowline_shoulder_mount_rig.html

I have this onehttps://www.proaim.ca/products/flycam-flowline-master-for-camera-gimbals-4-12kg-9-27lb-with-placid-stabilizing-arm

... used it on my Ursa and Gemini, and worked great. The Ursa got up to about 22lbs sometimes so Easyrig was out of my justifiable price range. The only thing is, I fit fine, I'm short. I lent it to a DP friend who couldn't use it because he is about 6-3 he didn't fit under it. He had to keep his head to the side which hurt his neck so he wound up not using it.

good info about the height. I'm tall, and might choose a larger flycam.

In general I find it a bit difficult what items to choose. What vest, flycam, flowline, arm. I even confuse the descriptions and names. So I built a primitive flycam with a hazelnut branch attached to a backpack. On the string I attached the Crane 3 gimbal. Worked quite well, but everything was also lost in a fire accident.

You'll need this as well...

And if you're carrying the UMP 4.6K with extra weight, you'll likely want this instead withe the placid (above).

BTW, this is not a gimbal or a stabilizer. It will relieve you from the weight and the placid will help with the vertical jitters. It won't stabilize your shots. You'll need a gimbal or some kind of stabilizer.
