DSLR BodyCam

The DSLR BodyCam is a lightweight body-mounted camera rig designed for hands-free POV, third-person and SnorriCam-style shots with action cameras and compact mirrorless setups. Instead of holding the camera, the operator wears the vest while a telescopic arm positions the camera in front of, behind or beside the body. This makes it possible to create dynamic movement shots while keeping both hands free for performance, props or natural interaction with the environment.

Up to 1.3 kg payload and hands-free movement

The rig is designed for camera packages weighing up to approximately 1.3 kg. That makes it well suited to action cameras and many mirrorless bodies paired with lightweight wide-angle lenses. The total working weight should always include the camera, lens and any accessories mounted to the arm, so compact builds are preferable when the operator will be walking, running or moving for longer takes.

The aluminium vest and support structure provide a rigid base while keeping the system practical for mobile use. Compared with our heavier BodyCam [Snorricam], this version is better suited to smaller camera packages where low weight and freedom of movement are more important than supporting a cinema-body build.

Approx. 90 cm telescopic arm with ball head

The telescopic arm extends to roughly 90 cm and ends in an adjustable ball head. This lets the camera be positioned horizontally, vertically or at creative intermediate angles, depending on the shot. Moving the camera farther from the body increases the sense of third-person perspective, while shorter settings can create tighter and more subjective framing.

The rig can be used for front-facing SnorriCam-style compositions, over-the-shoulder perspectives or rear-facing follow shots. Wide-angle lenses are usually the most practical choice because the camera remains relatively close to the operator while still needing to show both the subject and the surrounding environment.

1/4″-20 mounting and rental setup

The camera mounts through a standard 1/4″-20 connection, and additional 1/4″-20 mounting points on the front plate can be used for compatible lightweight accessories. Before shooting, the arm length, camera angle and balance should be adjusted to the operator, and the full movement path should be rehearsed with the complete camera package installed.

Our rental set includes the Camera Mount Vest and the telescopic arm with ball head.
