Awarded best gimbal AND best pro-video equipment (out of 1,700 products) at NAB. It's simply the best professional camera stabilizer. Here's why:
- Original Design: Designed from the ground up specifically for cinematography, not after thought like the rest of the gimbals on the market which put a handle onto the copter gimbal system.
- Optically-centered: To minimize sensor movement avoid robotic look in footage found with other gimbals.
- Eye-level Filming: Your hands is at the lens level, not a foot higher like other gimbals. This make shooting a lot less fatigue.
- Quick Balancing: It's a lot easier to balance each axis individually than making all 3 axis balance at the same time. Lens change is easier with simple adjustment of a single axis due to optical center design.
- Flat-bottom Design: You can put the gimbal down between shots without needing a stand.
- Intuitive Tilt Handle: The right handle of the gimbal acts as a joystick for tilting the camera up and down. This is the best loved feature.
- Seamless Suitcase Mode Transition: Going from eye-level to low mode seamlessly by just letting go of the left handle.
- Absolute Encoders: Prevent motors from losing their position during a bump. Improve stabilization precision. Adjust Dutch angle within a second by holding at the desired angle.
- Custom sliprings: Prevent wires from being tangled and the only handheld gimbal to allow 360, unlimited roll.
- Power Management: The first handheld gimbal on the market with power management.
- Custom Firmware
- Made In USA
