Swedish Chameleon has designed a new HDSLR/handheld camcorder rig aiming to break away from the mold of the current offerings on the market today. This new set-up involves a rod connected directly from the back shoulder plate to a belt that must be worn around the operator’s waist. According to Swedish Chameleon, the new arrangement will drastically improve stability while also giving your hands much more freedom to use their follow and zoom focus wheel.

In a recent interview, EOS Network took time to interview Mattias Holmer from Swedish Chameleon who gave a hands on first-look at the ambitious new rig.
