Easyrig Minimax Overview

Ideal for documentaries, news, events, and more, the Easyrig Minimax is designed for productions requiring extensive handheld camerawork with cameras weighing 4.4 to 15.4 lb. Rather than uncomfortably handholding your camera and supporting the weight with your arms, the Minimax redistributes the weight of your camera setup through the body harness. Taking the weight off your arms enables you to hold the camera steady for longer periods of time while reducing fatigue.
Increased Stability
  • The Minimax not only redistributes your rig weight but also increases the stability of your shots.
  • The support cable, while transferring the weight to the harness, also adds a point of contact, reducing vibrations.
  • A redesigned spring system results in smoother cable movement with reduced friction.
  • A conical wheel unrolls the rope with increasing force as it is unraveled. 
Pivoting Arm with Camera Hook
  • The pivoting upper arm is borrowed from the Easyrig 3 Cinema model.
  • The pivot enables you to swing the camera to the side or even have it sit on your shoulder.
  • Mount your camera using the included spring-loaded camera hook.
Adjustable Weight Range
  • Turn the knob at the back of the Minimax to adjust the rig to your camera weight.
  • An overload protection system will trip if the maximum weight capacity is exceeded. 
Carrying Case
  • Includes a duffle-style case for carrying the Minimax from one location to the next.

Easyrig Minimax Reviews

I like it

By Ryan
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-09-10

I've been using this with a Canon C300 Mark III and C70, and overall, I really like it. The biggest benefit is that it takes a lot of the weight off my arms. With a larger cinema camera, that makes a noticeable difference over the course of a shoot. It also makes me look much bigger, especially at smaller events. Honestly, sometimes it's almost too much. I've had people ask me to take it off because the whole setup feels like overkill for a smaller production. The tension is easy to adjust, although the adjustment is on your back, so you may need someone else to help you or you need to be reasonably flexible. You can also let the camera dangle from the support without really worrying about it, which is nice when you need to take your hands off the camera for a moment to switch a lens or get a small break. I typically use it with a C300 Mark III or C70. You can attach the ball screw directly to the top of the camera, or the top of the ring mount that I have for my gimbal. Both work well. And it makes you look like you know what you're doing, most the battle. The Good * Takes a significant amount of weight off your arms * Works well with larger cinema cameras * Easy to adjust * Camera can safely dangle from the support * Works with both my C300 Mark III and C70 - and comes with a few ball mounts to leave on cameras. * Can be used with a gimbal ring mount * Packs down extremely well * The travel bag is excellent The Bad It's expensive. And looks bulky sometimes for smaller things. And, honestly, I wish I had more opportunities to use it. For larger productions, longer handheld days, or situations where you're carrying a cinema camera for extended periods, it's a really useful piece of equipment. But for smaller events, it can feel like you're showing up with a tank to a knife fight. Verdict I like it. It's expensive, but it does what it's supposed to do, and the reduction in arm fatigue is very noticeable. The fact that the entire system folds up so nicely into the included travel bag is another big plus. My biggest issue isn't really with the product—it's that I wish I had more opportunities to use it. But now that I own it, I'm going to keep looking for situations where it makes sense. When the job calls for a C300 or C70 on your shoulder for hours, having this support makes a difference. The reason I got it was I noticed my footage was shaky due to tired arms, this helps 'stabilize footage' by letting your arms not need to take as much of the weight.

Can I use this with a DSLR?
Asked by: Julia
The Easyrig Minimax has a load capacity between 4.4 to 15.4 pounds. This is perfect for a DSLR Rig which is in that range. A rig will be necessary as you will need a top handle over the DSLR to use with the Minimax. For further assistance feel free to email us directly at [email protected].

question

would it be possible to get a ronin s inverted mounted on an easyrig mini with a c200?
Asked by: Leonardo
The question of a C200 on a Ronin S is a side track, but it is absolutely possible. I flew a C200 on the original Ronin S (not with a ready rig, handheld) for two years. There are limitations in lens barrel length (you need to use lenses shorter than most 24mm primes), and it requires a good setup and a little counterweight. But I shot 8 hour events on it, easy.

Will this work with the Feiyu Tech AK4500 gimbal with dual handbar and black magic pocket 4k?
Asked by: Angela
Max weight is around 14lbs for this. Keep in mind, an easy rig without a flowcine arm won’t stabilize your walking/the up and down motion of your movements and will likely exaggerate your movements.

what's the difference between easyrig minimax and Easyrig Minimax with Quick Release?

The Easyrig Minimax comes with a clamp that attaches to your camera's top handle. The Easyrig Minimax with Quick Release uses a 1/4"-20 to ball stud to attach to a 1/4"-20 thread. The quick release secures onto the ball stud.
