The Fig Rig Stabilizer from Bogen/Manfrotto is non-traditional in design yet simple and effective. It's a modular system that smoothly supports the DV camera and acts as a frame to mount all the accessories. A circular frame with a crossbar to mount most mini DV cameras allows the Fig Rig to become part of the body to produce smooth steady traveling shots. As the operator walks his/her muscles and tendons absorb all the shocks transferring only fluid movements to the camera. As there are no straps or harnesses attached to the Fig Rig quick and wide movements can be made within the same shot - from ground level to overhead in one smooth movement. The camera accessories and operator become one allowing you to film scenes quickly and unobtrusively. With the Fig Rig your creativity is virtually limitless.

A-W-E-S-O-M-E, YES AWESOME/MUST HAVE!

"It's so awesome, I can't let go! Yes, I take mine to bed. It even helps me with the laundry! I'll post that to YouTube. Here's what you get: more control over panning, tilting and movement. Especially, if you have a small camcorder, you are sure to love the Figgy. There is a problem with it, though. Unless you attach a remote control, or buy manny's remotes or some other 3rd party's, you lose the ability to in..." Read Full Review »

Get ready to be laughed at!

"I used this product on 3 shoots before getting rid of it and buying my glidecam. It really doesn't provide any more stable a shot than handheld use. If you use it anywhere in public, get ready to hear "look, a steering wheel" and other similar remarks ALOT! Very bad at weddings when blending in and not standing out are important. Both times I used this at weddings during dance shooting, the DJs would say ove..." Read Full Review »

"After being curious about these, I had a chance to try one at a show. Bought one a few months later. It's NOT a steadicam and not designed to be or to replace one. But for short walk and talks, or to smooth out handheld work, I can't find anything better.

"This is a vast improvement over hand held and much lighter than any prototype one could easily build.

I used this to shoot a mock hunting show and it performed great even while running down stairs.
