Great unit for dispersing the camera weight from your hands, to your body! Makes carrying heavy camera packages from 4.4 to 15.4 pounds pounds much easier.

From B&H: "The Minimax model features a redesigned spring system which results in smoother support rope movement with reduced friction. A conical wheel unrolls the rope with increasing force as the rope is unraveled. Another improvement included in the Minimax model is the pivoting upper arm brought down from the Easyrig 3 Cinema model. The pivot allows you to swing the camera to the side, or even have it sit on your shoulder."
