Last week Easyrig announced the Stabil Light which is to be used on their Minimax systems. I have a Minimax and love it, but apparently you have to get an upgrade for it in order for it to work with the Stabil Light. All new Minimax’s will come ready to use with the Stabil Light moving forward.

I’m interested in getting my Minimax the upgraded parts to be able to use the SL and potentially grabbing a SL for future projects. I’m intrigued at using this setup for long form gimbal use, but I’m also interested in seeing how it effects handheld shooting.

Has anyone on this forum ever used an Easyrig with a Stabil arm? If so, can you tell me how it works for handheld shots without a gimbal? I love my current Minimax and am looking for ways to get smoother handheld shots with it. I’d love to know how well it works.

Thanks!

The stabil/minimax looks great if you do a lot of small gimbal work and your package stays under its capacity.

I can't comment because I've never used the stabil but if I had to guess it'd probably take a decent edge off without being a godsent for pure HH while walking.

For walking shots, I always unhook and go completely in the hands, it'd be a nice bonus if the stabil eliminated that need. It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me because you can only use the minimax with a light set up anyway but I can see why staying connected with larger rigs would be much appreciated.

Sorry I can't offer a user perspective but if you end up doing the upgrade, it'd be great to read about what you think.
