Ready Rig

Meierhans

I was planing to mount a gimbal with GH5 on a low cost steadycam arm to save my arms and back from breaking. When I started to google for this combination (as the Gimbal will not fit onto the arm with some additional parts in between), I found this:

I searched for this on PV and could not find it at all, thats why I start this topic.

Annother (interlaced..) short review:

Is anybody using this and could give some further insights about usability, strenghts, weaknesses and whatever comes to mind?

And: Why are there no chinese knockoffs of this? Doesn´t look overly complicated, and could be produced and sold much cheaper..

Go for an easyrig knock off instead:

You can get a knock off serene spring as well:

I use it for over a year with the Ronin and a FS7. Made me life so much easier. The RR has a small footprint, you get into a golf cart, fast from low to high. It's way more versatile than the EasyRig. Get here for more info https://www.facebook.com/groups/101076270282163

Thank you for your replies! Easy Rig is nice as well, but truely far less versatile. As is the serene spring on a vest. A regular steadycam vest + arm seems vastly overscaled for my usecase (GH5 + 12-35 + medium light gimbal) and would basicly double the weight of my equipment.

So it looks like I have to go for the expensive original for now. Even if I do not like this result, its an answer. ;)
