What the thread found

• A stabilizer rig must have a maximum weight rating that exceeds the total weight of your complete camera setup including battery and accessories.
• A bare Sony EX1 weighs approximately 5.5 pounds, but adding accessories like wide angle adapters, follow focus systems, and wireless video or audio equipment increases this weight.
• A Pilot stabilizer can support up to 10 pounds and is suitable for a Sony EX1 with basic accessories.
• A Flyer stabilizer with a 15 to 20 pound maximum capacity can also handle a Sony EX1 setup.
• If your camera setup falls below the minimum weight requirement of a stabilizer rig, additional weight can be added to achieve proper balance.

Depends on

• The exact weight of accessories varies depending on what is attached to the camera.
• Flyer model specifications vary and affect maximum weight capacity.
• The discussion assumes standard configurations without specifying all possible accessory combinations.
