By definition, a camera rig is any piece of equipment used to add a special feature or to enhance the functionality of your camera, such as creating stability, adding a lens filter or helping you capture that impossibly challenging shot. In short, adding a camera rig to your DSLR or smartphone setup can help take your video content from basic to viral-worthy, even if you’re not working with particularly fancy equipment to begin with. Here are some situations where it makes sense to ramp up your rig.
The most popular kinds of stabilizing rigs include shoulder rigs (held on the shoulder for stability and support), handheld rigs (held in the hand, usually with one or two handles to stabilize the movement) and full-body harness rigs (worn on the body with straps with camera attached to a vest or harness). Almost all of these rig types feature bars, poles and handles that you can mount with various accessories, helping you create a totally custom rig to suit your unique project.
If you’re looking to get the most out of your existing video gear and to add a professional look to your amateur videos, camera rigs are a must-have. They turn even first-time camera-wielders into full-blown cinematographers, and they don’t require a huge investment. Movo Photo has one of the best selections of affordable camera rigs and accessories anywhere, so be sure to explore our complete variety for ideas.
