FIG RIG 595B
After years of using the Fig Rig on his award-winning fi lms, Mike Figgis
brought his idea to Manfrotto. An idea that is non-traditional in design,
but purely simple and effective. The only modular system in the world
to smoothly support the DV camera and act as a frame to mount all the
accessories – including zoom controllers, mics, mixers, lights, monitors, arms...
A circular frame with a crossbar to mount most mini DV cameras, the Fig
Rig becomes part of the body to produce smooth, steady travelling shots.
It is this very fact which is the secret to the Fig Rig. As the operator walks,
his/her muscles and tendons absorb all the shocks, transferring only fl uid
movements to the camera. As there are no straps or harnesses attached to
the Fig Rig, quick and wide movements can be made within the same shot
– from ground-level to overhead, in one smooth movement. The camera,
accessories and operator become one, allowing you to fi lm scenes quickly
and unobtrusively. With the Fig Rig your creativity is virtually limitless.
