Cinema Devices Ergorig Classic II – Industry-Trusted Camera Support Harness for Shoulder-Mounted Rigs
Professional Camera Support System for Spine-Free Operation and All-Day Filming Comfort
The Cinema Devices Ergorig Classic II is the updated version of the industry-renowned Ergorig Classic — a professional, lightweight camera support harness designed to shift the weight of heavy shoulder-mounted camera rigs from your spine and shoulders to your hips. Trusted by cinematographers, Steadicam operators, and camera professionals worldwide, this harness enables you to shoot for longer durations without compromising on comfort, posture, or camera control.
The Ergorig Classic II allows you to operate cinema cameras like the ARRI ALEXA, RED KOMODO, Canon C500, and Sony FX series in a handheld configuration, while protecting your back from long-term injury and fatigue. Whether you’re shooting indie films, commercials, or music videos, this support system gives you the freedom to move without pain — enabling smooth, handheld camera operation with a “weightless” feel.
Upgraded Comfort & Adjustability
The Classic II builds upon the original with improved comfort, more adjustable fit options, and increased durability. Its shoulder rest is designed to float slightly above your shoulder or gently contact it for better camera balance — adjustable based on your preference. The non-slip shoulder pad ensures your rig stays secure even during high-mobility shots.
The belt system transfers 100% of the camera’s weight to the operator’s hips, reducing stress on the thoracic and lumbar spine, and promoting better posture throughout long production days.
Modular, Portable, and Field-Tested
This camera support system is built for real-world set conditions. The strut length is optimized for average torso sizes (53 cm+), and the breathable build ensures ventilation during long shoots in warm conditions. The Ergorig Classic II is also modular — it breaks down for travel and packs compactly into the included carry bag.
Built by Operators, Backed by Science
Designed by a veteran camera operator and developed with input from orthopedic surgeons, the Ergorig Classic II is the result of years of R&D aimed at reducing spinal injury among handheld camera professionals. This system provides a non-invasive alternative to exoskeletons and eliminates the need for shoulder padding or excessive camera counterweights.
