CAME-TV has just released a pro camera video stabilizer kit that can be like a traditional Steadicam but also as a gimbal support to capture smoother and longer takes. Let’s take a closer look at it! As time goes on, handheld gimbals are getting smaller, but they also can take more weight. For example, gimbals like the DJI RS 2 can take a maximum payload of 10lbs/4.5kg, and if you add the weight of the RS2 itself (2.86 lbs/1.3kg), you’re already carrying around 13lbs/6kg with one arm. Of course, manufacturers created dual-handle brackets/support rings/easy rigs to help distribute your rig’s weight to both of your arms. Personally, I always felt that I used a lot of force trying to operate heavy setups and had a lot of arm/shoulder/back pains at the end of a 12 hours shoot. The ARRI Trinity on the set of “1917”.

These gimbal setups help distribute your gimbal weight to your entire body while benefiting from the steadycam’s physic-stabilization and advantages. Following that trend, CAME-TV has just released a new pro camera video stabilizer that can be used as a steadycam and a gimbal stabilizer.
