[1.09 lb] First of all, let's make this clear:� The Ready Rig GS is NOT a steadycam device.� It will not ever eliminate "steps" on your shots.� It wasn't designed to do that, so expecting it to do it isn't exactly fair.

What it does do is really take the weight of your gimbal off your arms.� We are using ours with a Movi 15 flying a RED Scarlet Dragon AND RED BRICK BATTERY using a Sigma 18-35mm lens, a Nyrius wireless video broadcaster, and an Optitron wireless system.� And it handles all this perfectly.� My co-DP on our current feature loves it, and when he's happy, I'm happy.

This is a very sold piece of kit!

[1.09 lb] These spindles raise the centre of gravity of the Ronin 2 Rig so that tilt moves are much easier. Previously Im mounting the ready rig to the top bar and that means theres so much more weight to push from the bottom. The spindles are pricey but necessary to factor in with the cost of buying a Ronin 2 and using it comfortably

[1.09 lb] These do exactly what they advertise. They are well built, and turn smoothly. The only small improvement I could imagine would be making them quick-release. A great product, just like all the Cinemilled stuff I’ve used.

[1.09 lb] Smooth

[1.09 lb] It took me a while to pull the trigger on buying this Ready Rig and I can tell you that it’s definitely worth the investment. I have a pretty light set up (Ronin-M + GH5) however, without the Ready Rig I could really only operate the gimbal for a few minutes before my arms, shoulders, and lower back would start to fatigue.

Also, having to adjust settings on the camera & lens was also inconvenient while holding the Ronin-M with only one hand because it would put unnecessary strain on your wrist. With the Ready Rig, I’ve been able to operate my gimbal for over 20 minutes before I started to fatigue. The best part is that the Ready Rig holds your gimbal for you when you need both hands free to adjust settings on your camera (no more awkward one handed adjustments).

The unit paid for itself after a few shoots, my only regret is that I didn’t buy it earlier. If you operate a gimbal regularly, this is definitely an investment you won’t regret.

[1.09 lb] Used the Ready Rig with my Movi Pro and Red Scarlet-W in a shoot in Arizona. We were out in the blazing desert and the Ready Rig helps us shoot faster since we don't need to take breaks to set the camera down between shots. The operator can concentrate on the shot running over rough ground and not worry about dropping the camera.


We also used it on a boat to get jet ski footage. It added additional stabilization on the rocking boat. Ready Rig kept both the camera and the operator from falling off the boat since the rig is easy to grab on to support the operator.


I also bough the CineMilled Ready Rig GS Swivel. Highly recommended to turn the gimbal in tight locations like the bow of a small boat.

[1.09 lb] I bought this right away for my Ready Rig. Highly recommend this addition if working in tight spaces. Was really useful filming on the bow of a small boat to get jet sky footage. The camera operator could quickly swing from left to right to track the jet ski's.

[1.09 lb] I use this with my RS3 Pro + Tilta ring and it works great. It did require a bit of tweaking (removing the top handle/battery from the ring and using a few bolts to secure the Swivel) but it only took a few min. This swivel works with handheld too when I'm using the Ready Rig, I just attach it to the top handle of my camera.

[1.09 lb] Good Quality

[1.09 lb] Love the rig (with the vega arms update) and the company and employees that builds it. Nice people and helpful.

Now personally I would really go for the vegas arm, it makes a huge difference in terms of vertical stabilization. I did the upgrade and can't recommend it enough if you want to be sure to have no vertical bounce when walking.


Be aware that having the lumbar accessory can have a big impact on your back. Or if you don't want to buy it, just have a scarf or a small wind jacket... that you can add in the back to fill any void, and your back will thank you.


Also I have just seen a video with the Ready Rig Wrist Support Straps that seem to offer awesome possibilities.


Ask ready rig about their demo videos they did during the pandemic, they have some great tips in there.
