...As for Handheld vs Easyrig, it's quite different, for a proper handheld rig, I would look for an Ergorig and avoid every came-TV / chinese copy.
What if you find out that you are introducing shakiness that is transmitted from your hips to the camera? In that case you would be standing still to avoid it and using it to just reduce wobble instead. Although the Minimax has an adjustable tension feature, of what benefit would that be if you're standing still?

"I have both a Flycam Galaxy vest and spring arm setup and an Easyrig clone and, while they work within their own capabilities, I hate them both.
I wanted to use the Galaxy vest with my gimbal, not a Glidecam setup, and for the life of me I can't get it to work smoothly enough to eliminate vertical bobbing while moving about outdoors. Additionally, it doesn't afford as much comfortable support as expected.
The Easyrig clone does it's job as long as you don't want to move about, but it has its limitations because of the design. The Easyrig is fine if you want to video more or less standing still or just to move the camera while standing still.
Maybe the actual brand name products work better, but I wasn't going to spend so much on gear that would not get used constantly, especially the Easyrig. I've found a better way Not to get what I want by using a heavy duty strap and it seems to work as well as either of the other two."

"In my experience, the easy rig will dramatically increase the amount of handheld shake when following or running with a protagonist. It might be overload if you want some smooth motion. Testing would be helpful if you can get your hands on the rig before your shoot!"

"...If you are using a lighter camera like a A7s, I might recommend going with a lighter build and going without easy rig. Use your dominant arm as a gimbal and use your other arm as a guide (kind of like how Steadicam operators work) I do this whenever I’m shooting without support. I usually only use easy rigs if I’m shooting with Arri Alexa mini, LF or Sony Venice. Sometimes a lighter camera build can make the easy rig more of a hinderance than helpful."

"An easy rig is useless if the operator is moving. It transfers all the movement of your hips into the camera."

"I honestly hate the look of the easy rig when running. It just rolls back and forth. I prefer handheld with either a machine gun style grip, or just the skater mode top handle. But it is very taxing physically."
