Re-Defining "Fig Rig"[edit]
Recommendation to redefine: 'Fig Rig refers to a circular, handheld device used to stabilize and control a small camera to catch motion while also reducing the chances of shaky footage. Mrwoodard (talk) 18:41, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Add a History Section[edit]
I think instead of introducing Mike Figgis as the creator of the Fig Rig in definition, there is a new section that talks about Mike Figgis' reasoning for creating the Fig Rig.
In an interview conducted by the Directors Guild of America, Mike Figgis, an English film director, discusses his experience on set and the hassles that came about when dealing with tripods and film dollies on set. Figgis decided that he needed something to stabilize his camera without taking up valuable workspace. It was then that he created the fig rig as a way to create a stabilized film shot by gripping the handled sides and holding it still or moving it slowly.
