CenterFit & Classic
Save your back with the award winning system that lets you shoot the way you always have. Now pain free.
Facing the dilemma of maintaining your back's health while using an untethered handheld camera?
Our solution embodies elegance in its simplicity. We've devised a way to mitigate spinal stress, empowering the operator to handle the camera as they traditionally would, without sacrificing its balance or freedom of movement.
Our breakthrough lies in weight transference - 100% of the burden is shifted from your shoulder and back to your hips, effectively bypassing your spine.
The Ergorig System is our award-winning ergonomic solution for handheld camera operation, a painless harmony of health and functionality.
It's not your job to put your chiropractor's kids through college!

CenterFit
The newest addition to the Ergorig family has quickly become our most popular offering as it is more comfortable for most Camera Operators regardless of gender.
​
The Ergorig CenterFit offers greater freedom of movement for the operator’s right arm, the weight is centered at the front of the body and is better distributed. When using the Undersling and Riser, the CenterFit allows for the camera to be closer to the body if desired. Additionally, since the design opens up to the entire side of the body, there is no need for extra pads on the Ergorig in order to protect the equipment.

What users say

The Family, The Good Fight
I want to commend Cinema Devices for evolving their design to work with different body types, including those of us curvy women. They not only listened, but were very committed to making vest options to fit anyone who may want one. They were very proactive in getting feedback and experimenting with different modular modifications.
After trying it out, it really WAS a game changer

What size Ergorig CenterFit should I get?Measure from your front hip point to the top middle of your shoulder. If the distance is less than 20 inches (50 cm) - order a Short size. If the distance is more than 20 inches (50 cm) - order a Tall size. Your front hip point is the part that feels like the tip of the triangle in your hip on the front side that is right around your belt line.

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.
