The Cinesaddle is a highly versatile camera mount that offers many advantages over a traditional tripod. It is lightweight, compact, and provides greater stability while also eliminating the risk of pinching your fingers. With the Cinesaddle, there is no need for a fluid head as it securely grips the camera, allowing for smooth panning and tilting. Its small size also makes it easy to mount in tight spaces, and it weighs only one and a half pounds, making it much lighter than a standard zoom lens.
