How to Use a Mini Shoulder Brace or Half-Rig to Create Stable Handheld Video
Mini rig, micro rig, shoulder brace: there are a few names for this simple contraption. Essentially a rod and shoulder pad, the adjustable shoulder brace is one of the easiest ways to take handheld video easier and more comfortable without adding a lot of bulk or expense.

In this lesson from the course Video Production on the Go, with Slavik Boyechko, you'll learn how to use a simple and inexpensive shoulder rig to make smooth shots.
