- A Camera Saddle or Cine Saddle is a must have for all types of filmmakers. This simple tool reduces stress on your arms and back and distributes your cameras weight throughout your entire body resulting in stable footage over long durations. This piece of gear is super versatile from placing on the ground, on tables, and wearing it. Not only is it effective on set but cost effective as well coming in at only $119.00 USD!

Awesome video! Was considering this and was a bit skeptical about it. After watching your video definitely makes it easier. Thanks!!!!
Bro the product just works and their price point compared to others is where it needs to be!
a much less expensive option...AWESOME! i just shot a 2-day basketball tournament from like 8am until 7pm. i didn't want to spend $$$$ on a cine saddle but i wanted to see what it would've been like using one. so i filled an old lowepro sling bag w/ a towel and voila! worked like a charm!
Pretty cool looking product. That bag looks so comfortable to use.
It’s very comfortable bro I thought I’d need to get a should pad or something for it but so far it’s not needed!
Perfect video. I have been looking into getting one for some time.
Thanks bro and same! I just couldn’t bring myself to spend the $350-400 price point that the originator CineSaddle charges. I’m glad there’s other companies making them at a price that makes sense.
Really insightful stuff, Jay! Great info and explanations 👌
I really appreciate the kind words! Just sharing some gear that just makes sense!
Where did you order this from , on their site there's no add to cart or buy option
Their site is going to be up and running soon they’re doing a makeover, like I mentioned in the video DM them on IG tell them I sent you and you’ll receive the order form and they’ll get it squared up
Did you try the smaller 'mini' version - for run-n-gun a bit smaller is a plus!
I haven’t to be honest, I do like the mini’s and would pick one up but this one hasn’t been a bother but I get it it’s big and bulky at times
I went to the page but their is no way to join it by product...so I emailed them. Will hopefully hear from hem soon.
We have several. We could never do without them.
I see they went up on that pricing
Yup smh like how yall ask me to review it seeing me use it on IG and months later boost it even when I paid for the damn thing 😭🤦🏻♂️
Which size is this one? Current prices as of 10/20/24 are small size at $159 and large size at $179.
Wild that they bumped prices 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I showcased the large version David and bummed about the rate increase. Still competitive but really felt like aside from the quality the price point was a huge factor.
@@TheAutomotiveDP Well, it's still a LOT less expensive than the original Cine Saddle, and appears to have a nicer strap. I know knock-offs are often frowned upon, but I don't think the Cine Saddle is a technological model that warrants their much higher price.
I love this 👌🏽
Appreciate the kind words Emmanuel! Just sharing the affordable and customizable version haha
@@TheAutomotiveDP this is very affordable compare to the other brand I saw in Australia 😊 I'm definitely buying this one 🫶🏽
I checked out their website and couldn't find the add to cart button on any of the products. Very strange. Maybe it's Chrome?
What diffusion filter did you use to film this video?
Just a 1/8th Glimmer glass
Did you order it from turkey. What kind of taxes did you encounter … what was your total cost on the large/ normal size ….
Thank you for the review
Taxes weren’t bad but their new website just launched and everything should be updated
@@TheAutomotiveDP thank you
Looking to get one myself and I have a question, is the one you are showcasing the regular size or small? Thanks for the review.
Sorry for the delay brother, this is the full size showcased
The inventor of the Monopod would like a word....
Haha you know what you’re not wrong
monopods are amazing, and for people who REALLY know how to use them, they can beat a gimbal in a lot of situations, with smaller packages anyway.
How do I buy this thing ? The site has no option to purchase.
I got myself 22usd from Indonesia. The guy handmade it and followed the exact design with any other saddle bag and believe me, it's bigger, comfy, and overall it's durable. These saddle bags company branded that cost more than 50usd is ripping us off like crazy. 22usd bro. That's just crazy comparing to 400usd/120usd. Pure scammer.
You’d lose your mind if you saw the original Cine Saddle going for $400-500 USD then haha. That’s what’s up
how?? lol i want one!
Hey Jay love your content... quick question how do you pick the color on the site?
You can't pick the color, you can't order. It's just a site made to look pretty and be confusing.
Appreciate the kind words, they’re actually revamping their website they told me to tell anyone who wants to place an order to DM them on Instagram @bebopbags and they’ll take care of you!
Just get an Easyrig that does this plus any other height you may ever want.
So spend $1200 for a minimax or almost 7k for the vario 5 that I already own over this saddle that cost $125? Make it make sense haha and they seem similar but way different.
@@TheAutomotiveDP yes, rather continue to save up for an Easyrig minimax that will give you so much better results. Also, sorry to say this, but you look like a fool with that thing.
You from Jersey? I'm from Jersey. What exit?
Haha close Lawnguyland as we say haha born and raised on Long Island, then lived in Brooklyn before moving to Los Angeles!
Bebop's ordering process sucks. I would've bought one months ago. You have to send an email to order, and they didn't even respond to my email. I ended up buying the Cinesaddle Mini Saddle and the Sakk Camera Bag.
Right on, new sites been live for quite so time to order directly 🤔
I like the idea behind the saddles, but even if I got one for free it would sit in the van 99% of its life. Saddles place the camera around the chest which to me is too low. I prefer closer to shoulder height so an EasyRig is better for that (or a shoulder rig). Now if you’re above average height and your chest is everyone else’s eye-level then that would be ideal. But I’m 6’ on a good day and women would kill me if I was always filming below their chin.
what van?
@@article1934 I have a production van, sorry. So it would just sit there waiting to be used. I guess not everyone would know that haha
Totally agree this will not get you shoulder height but pretty high up. Nothing beats a should rig for that type of work. Don’t knock it til you try it tho. I’m 6’4 too so 😅🤷🏻♂️
@@TheAutomotiveDP that’s why it works so well for you. Those extra 4 inches ~pause~ makes the saddle a great height for most work. 😁
@@evanthecameraman hahah you're not wrong!!! Appreciate the insight Evan!
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the engagement bud helps me out regardless
