I bought one of these when they had their NAB flash sale. It's a great rig. Used it for the first time last week and shot a two hour verite scene and didn't feel like I was going to fall apart afterward. Highly recommended!
 
Put me down for one please.
Jesse Feldman, who created the ErgoRig is a friend and a great operator. He has designed a great piece of kit here and if you spend any significant time doing handheld, you need this. In my twenty eight years of operating, I’ve done a lot of handheld and at one time or another I have owned or tried everything out there to try and help make handheld better and have less fatigue. The ErgoRig does both. It is built tough and has great attention to detail without over complicating things. You can’t go wrong and getting a discount is even better.
My two cents.

im in for one
 
Not to sidetrack this, Chris, but has anyone come up with a solid solution for people like me who are definitely well over the average person's height?

I find myself either on sticks or handholding the camera against my chest just to get things eye-level because shoulder rigs have always made me peer down at people.

Have you tried what I call the cradling method? I often shoot that way in order to draw less attention to the fact that I am shooting. I'd have to take a photo to properly communicate the method, but essentially I hold the camera under my right armpit with my right arm draped over the camera, right hand on a right-side grip. I tilt the VF upwards and my head tilts downward to have my eye on the VF. My left hand operates the focus and the iris and zoom. The camera lens ends up being at breast-height. It works well for stealthy shooting because if I choose I can just raise my head up from the VF while still rolling and it is less obvious that I am rolling than if the camera were on my shoulder. For your need it would put the camera about a foot lower than operating from your shoulder.
 
here in Denmark where people are generally very tall, myself not included,
alot of the tall DoP’s use and easyrig vario 5 w serene arm and then dangle
the camera in front of them, breast height. some use a viewfinder w an extender arm,
some just a monitor.

14-Day Return Policy

Hey guys, just wanted to make you aware that Ergorig also has a 14-day return policy. So if you get it, and don't like it for whatever reason, you can return it, provided that it still looks brand new. You'd be liable for return shipping, but they offer that guarantee for those on the fence.
