Easyrig -Cinema vest or Gimbal Vest?

[CJ Ricottone]

I'm looking into buying my first easyrig this week. I'm set on the vario 5 but I'm not sure which vest to get. I operate mostly on reality shows. Would the gimbal vest introduce a lot movement into my shots since it sits lower on the hips? I like the cinema vest but I find i still get a bit of lower back strain on long days. does anyone have experience with both that can share their opinion?

I love the gimbal vest. You will get hotter due to the bigger/thicker/wider belt but it's more comfortable and does a better job of putting the weight on your hips

gimbal vest is more comfertable

We used the easy rigs alot always hated them felt trapped in it. got the tilta armor man 2 and for gimbals that is uncompareable to easyrig. And price is about the same.

I think he was just asking about the type of vest options for the easy rig. the gimbal vest has a larger belt and more padding = more comfertable.

doesnt mean u need to use it with a gimbal at all

Yes, I absolutely recommending trying out the Tilta Armor-Man as well!! I've tried both, and like the Tilta Armor-Man more. But there certainly are shooting situations where an easyrig would make more sense instead.
