The Fine Print, Without the Jargon
We build rigs. We test gear. We write about the results. Before you drop two grand on a new mirrorless setup based on our blueprints, you need to read this page.
This isn’t a wall of copied legal text. It is a direct breakdown of how we operate, how we make money, and where our responsibility ends.
1. Informational Purposes Only
We share what works for our specific production needs. We test camera cages, stress-test monitor mounts, and push audio interfaces to their limits. This content is strictly informational. It is not professional financial, legal, or occupational safety advice.
If you mount a 15-pound cinema rig over a client’s head using a friction arm we reviewed, and it drops, that is on you. Always consult a licensed professional for insurance, business liability, or electrical safety concerns when building out a commercial studio.
Your rig. Your responsibility.
2. How We Fund the Site (Affiliate Disclosure)
Testing production gear is expensive. Buying a dozen top handles to find the one that actually locks down tight costs money. To fund Creator Rig Reviews, we use affiliate links.
If you click a link on this site and buy a microphone, a key light, or a full camera cage, we earn a small commission. You do not pay a single penny extra. The retailer pays us a percentage of the sale.
Does this affect our reviews? Absolutely not. If a popular brand sends us a light panel and the color accuracy is terrible, we publish that fact. We reject sponsorships that demand positive coverage.
We rely entirely on your trust. If we recommend trash, you stop reading. We lose. We only link to gear we have actually rigged up, tested, and verified in real shooting conditions.
3. Accuracy and Firmware Realities
The tech industry shifts daily. A camera that shoots perfect 4K today gets a firmware update tomorrow that introduces severe overheating. We research thoroughly. We test rigorously. We publish our findings.
We do not guarantee that every spec, price, or feature mentioned on this site remains accurate months after publication. Manufacturers change thread pitches. Brands swap out internal components without warning.
Always verify compatibility, payload capacities, and current pricing on the official manufacturer website before you hit the checkout button.
4. External Links and Third-Party Retailers
We link to external retailers, manufacturer sites, and other creator resources. We do this to help you find the exact cold shoe mount or XLR cable we used in a specific build.
Once you click away from Creator Rig Reviews, you are in their territory. We do not control their privacy policies, their terms of service, or their data collection practices.
If a third-party retailer ships you a defective lens, you must deal directly with their customer service department. We cannot process returns, issue refunds, or track your packages.
Transparency Matters
We built this site to solve real rigging problems for serious creators. If you have questions about how we test gear or how we fund this operation, reach out through our contact page.
We read the emails. We answer the questions. We talk gear.
