The Easyrig Vario 5 with Large Cinema 3 Vest & 9" Extended Arm is a body-worn support system that is adjustable to support camera rigs weighing 11 to 38 lb. The system comprises the Vario 5 standard support bar, the large Cinema 3 double shoulder vest, and a 9" extended support arm. A carrying bag is also included for convenient storage and transport of the Easyrig system. 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.

My back loves this thing

For gigs with long hand held takes using heavy cameras and lenses, this is a most. I wouldn't use if for super mobile shots with walking or running, but for everything else it's incredibly helpful

Are you able to adjust the extended arm? I'm 5'7 and with the Minimax, I find myself to short for taller talent. But how comfortable is the extended arm in most cases?
The extended arm has a 4 inch / 20mm adjustment. The manual on the product page contains detaled instructions on all adjustmens. Click on the overview and read the manual on right side of the page.

Hi, I'm a Movi-Pro operator and looking for a rig to use it with, and separately for just the camera sometimes too.
My question is, which is better, 5" arm extension or 9" arm extension?
I've used an EasyRig 2, I believe, with no arm extention and it was a waste of time and energy having to hold it far out front.
5 inches and 9 inches are not that far apart and depending on your setup, physical size and arm reach there is some overlap where either option may work for you. So to help you decide I'd look at the options like this:
If you felt that the Easyrig with the standard arm was "too close" but "usable" then the 5" model will probably work for you
If you felt that the standard arm was "way too close" and "completely unusable" then the 9" model is probably best.

For Gimbal work, MoviPro, is a 5" extended arm or the 9" extended arm better? Currently shooting with a Canon C500 and want to be able to use both the Movi and without the Movi. Earlier this year I rented a friend's EasyRig 2.5 and had to push the Movi far out in front of my body, which made the EasyRig basically useless, the weight was in front of the arm.
For gimbal work, 9" arm extensions or 5" arm extensions with Flowcine Serene stabilizer would be optimal for distance from body. If you need to do double duty, then the 5" arm may be able to work for your needs without being at the extreme ends of the standard arm or 9".

Especially for documentary work, would this be a recommended option for the new Sony fx9 (with the extension unit, v-mount batteries, external monitor, etc.)?
This system is designed to work with a camera set up between 11 to 38 pounds. Just as long as the camera rig you have set up is between 11 to 38 pounds this system will work very well.

Are vests interchangeable? We have male and female operators at our company with vastly different waist sizes
