What the experts say
Dave Hirschmann, SOC
Veep, Good Girls, Kevin from Work
You throw a camera on your Ergorig and the first thing you think is, ‘Where did the weight go?’ The ergorig is comfortable, adjustable, and doesn’t restrict movement.
Andrew Mitchell, SOC
Glee, American Crime Story, Feud
What’s amazing to me is how the camera sits level on the shoulder. There’s no tendency for the camera to slide down or any need to tighten muscles to compensate for the slope of your own shoulder. With the Ergorig, the weight of the camera is distributed to the body making long handheld takes much more comfortable.
Spencer Hutchins, SOC

The Ergorig is a great relief from your normal aches of handheld camera operating. It allows you to work in the way you are used to while preventing back pain.

Does the Ergorig work well for female operators?Works great! Most women prefer to adjust the midriff strap either above or below their chest line, and some prefer it to sit straight across. In addition to the original model, we have introduced the Ergorig CenterFit which many female operators find more comfortable.
-
Is the Ergorig CenterFit only for women?We designed the CenterFit model at the request of female operators that felt that the Classic Ergorig could have been more comfortable to their physique. To that end, the CenterFit puts the front load bearing plates in line with the sternum therefore creating no uneven pressure on the chest. Some male operators use the Ergorig CenterFit as well, but the majority of CenterFits have been purchased by female operators.
-
Do you offer Ergorig rentals?We do not rent the Ergorig directly, but work with a series of rental houses. You can find a list here.
