While the previous versions of this bag were virtually unusable if you wanted to use any semblance of sound from the camera (there was just too much rustling from the stuffing inside), Focus Rat has now figured out a way to remedy this. The new version doesn't rustle much at all and should be a core part of any handheld film rig.
Ive been professionally shooting for 15 years and at the recommendation of a friend I decided to try out a saddle type sack to shoot with. I was skeptical and the Focus Rat Essential was the cheapest option so I went with it. What happened after is I have completely changed my shooting style and feel a panic if I am on a shoot without it. Ive stopped taking out my giant shoulder camera and have been reaching for the small bodied hybrid, using the Focus Rat for resting the camera at the hips, or propping my elbows up with the camera higher up. really awesome to use in the passenger seat of a car while shooting a driver or just dropping the camera on the rat set on a table top. A+ product. My newest appendage
