The Easyrig Vario 5 Bundle includes the Easyrig Vario 5 along with the FLOWCINE Serene pre-installed and FLOWCINE 2-Axis Puppeteer. The Easyrig Vario 5 with Gimbal Rig Vest and 5” Extended Arm is a body-worn support system that is adjustable to support camera rigs weighing between 11 and 38 lb. The system works by using a suspension line to support the weight of the gimbal rig, taking the load off your shoulder, neck, and arm muscles and distributing it across your torso. The tension line is adjustable by turning a screw in the back, letting you dial in the appropriate amount of tension for your rig. The system consists of the Cinema 3 double shoulder vest, Vario support bar, and a standard support arm. A carrying bag is included for convenient storage and transport of the Easyrig system.

The FLOWCINE Serene is a two-axis spring arm stabilizer that attaches to the end of the Easyrig arm. It smoothes video results by mitigating vertical vibrations induced by walking or running during a tracking shot. It also stabilizes side-to-side motion in similar tracking situations by counter-pivoting around its center axis. The Serene also allows for full use of the Easyrig spring extension for going from high to low mode.

The Serene supports rigs weighing between 11 and 44 lb, and the spring tension can be fine-tuned without the use of tools. It works well with the separately available FLOWCINE Gravity One, as well as other gimbal rigs like the Freefly Mövi and B-Steady.

Designed to support a handheld motorized gimbal from an EasyRig system, the 2-Axis Puppeteer from FLOWCINE enables smooth and vibration-free operation by removing unwanted tilt and roll axis motion caused by the EasyRig cord while walking or running. Isolating the motorized gimbal from the cord also allows you to easily tilt your motorized gimbal when shooting in follow or majestic modes without having to fight against the tension of the EasyRig cord. The 2-Axis Puppeteer is compatible with the Freefly MoVI, DJI Ronin, and similar models when paired with the separately available top handle or handlebar grips.

Q: 5. Can the spring be locked out for use. Ive heard that some people say it can be bouncy if you are doing non gimbel shots where you dont walk ?

A: This is not an issue we have heard of. To answer your question, the Serene can not be locked off. You can turn the spring force all the way up so it does not flex. Once you are finished with your shot, be sure to reduce the spring tension to save wear. You might be interested in the new Line Guide for Serene. It may align the string better for you.

[35" (88.9 cm)] Easy to install and very reliable. I tried it with heavy cameras setups like Arri Alexa XT with anamorphic Hawk and 6x6 matebox and it responds very fluid and smooth. 5

[30 lb] Great device to controll smooth movements of my gimbal. I am really happy with it. 5

[30 lb] Unless you're doing gimbal work, this is the best EasyRig for most setups. The Vario gives the user the ability to adjust tension for a wide range of camera sizes and weights. The gimbal vest is great for waist support, much preferred over the original vest in my opinion. The 5 arm is the perfect size to get the camera off your shoulder but not be obtrusive in your environment. Only wish I bought this sooner. 5

[35" (88.9 cm)] Unless you're renting in LA or NYC, it's nearly impossible to find a Vario 5 with a small operator vest. I'm 5'6, medium build (34 waist), and still need to tightly strap up on this rig. That tells me it'll fit someone taller and bigger than me. This rig is perfect for larger/heavier camera rigs and a Movi Pro. Fitted correctly, you don't feel any of the weight and I can see it working well with female operators as well. One thing Easyrig doesn't really make clear and immensely valuable to me is: The rig can quickly be raised and lowered about 5-6 inches. That might not seem like a lot but I'm short at 5'6 and the increased arm height allows me to raise the camera/Movi to film taller people without having to shoot up at them. It's just 4 screws that can be quickly adjusted within 2 minutes. Finding a proper hard case to fly with this rig is not easy/cheap. BUT the vest can be easily separated from the arm in order to make the entire rig smaller and portable. Just takes adjusting the same 4 screws. Also helpful if you want to throw on a standard/larger vest for other operators. The Serene Arm is amazing. Paired with a Movi/Ronin, proper handling, and rolling your steps, you can get some amazingly smooth footage. Remember to adjust the tension of your Serene Arm so it's parallel to the ground. Also remember to loosen the Serene Arm while traveling so you can safely bend it and make your rig smaller for packing. 5

[30 lb] After years of renting Easy Rigs, dealing w/ the uneasy feeling knowing that other people probably sweat in them as much as I do and not knowing how good the rental houses clean these things, I finally got around to investing in one of these. Perfect for low mode where it can hold the camera weight chest height or lower, or static shoulder shots to give the shoulder a break. I've used this countless times over the years and finally got one. Should have done it sooner. Now I gotta save up for the Stabil arm 5

[35" (88.9 cm)] This is great for a cinema style camera build. I fly a Arri Amira with zoom lenses, FIZ and teradek, so something in the 25lb range. This system allows for me to go hand held all day with minimal effort. I'm a large guy, 220lbs and 6' tall, and the cinema 3 vest fits me just fine with plenty of room for larger guys. These things are built like tanks, you can zip tie the bag shut and check it on airlines no problem. Easyrigs are basically career extenders that save your back. 5
