Everything Wrong with Camera Rigs: What No One Tells You

We've all heard it before—camera rigs make you look like a pro. After five years of waiting, learning, and watching countless YouTube videos, I finally built my own camera rig. But here's the thing—every video out there talks about how amazing camera rigs are. No one talks about the downsides.

In this video, I dive into everything wrong with camera rigs—things you don’t typically hear on YouTube. From the high costs to the ergonomic challenges, I cover it all. But it’s not all bad news; there are some benefits too.

📸 Why did I build a bulky, heavy rig for my mirrorless camera? Convenience. I share my personal experiences and the struggles of dealing with cables, batteries, and the weight of the rig.

🚀 What's wrong with camera rigs? From unexpected expenses to cumbersome setups, I break down the major issues:

Cost: Every piece adds up, making the rig more expensive than expected.
Weight: The added weight can make filming more awkward and less mobile.
Ergonomics: Custom buttons and screens become hard to access, slowing down your workflow.
