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
A true game changer

I made fun of EasyRigs for so long although after 2 years of handheld/shoulder mounted World Cup coverage I broke down and got one. A true game changer. Awkward hand held positions are no longer a struggle and a the end of a long day my back still feels great!
The quick release system is also really nice, and much better then using the Kong system that I have found on some rentals.
One of the best investments you will make.

I feel like I could type a novel about the importance about the importance of being nice to your back as an operator, but I'll keep it short. Operating over long periods of time can be terrible for your body and you should try to do everything you can to minimize wear on your shoulder and back. I know this from painful experiences over 15 years of being an operator with scoliosis.
This is, without question, the best option available. I have tried literally every piece of gear available, and then way to STABIL reduces the load while in increasing stability is unmatched. I've been using the standard MiniMax for years with varying results, and I've always found that after hours of hand held, it causes strain to your middle and upper back from the constant motion of pulling your upper back forward. The STABIL removes that sensation almost completely. Buy it. Make your friends buy it. Buy one for your mom for her birthday. It's worth every penny and more.
