  • 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!

    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!

      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.

    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.

    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.
