TRANSFORM YOUR SINGLE-HANDED STABILISER

The Steadimate-S converts a handheld motorised gimbal into a full body-worn stabilizer system by attaching a mechanical gimbal collar/yoke and weighted base to the post of the gimbal. This allows a spring arm and vest to connect and assist the stabilizer, greatly improving the overall functionality and reducing operator fatigue.

The Steadicam arm reduces vertical bounce by providing z-axis stabilisation, while the Steadicam vest provides operator comfort for long shots and long days by comfortably transferring all the weight across your torso and hips. 
 
Add creativity to your work by smoothly pushing the camera all the way to the ground and back up with Low Mode capability. Increase panning finesse by performing smooth manual panning.

The Steadimate-S is available as a kit paired with either the Steadicam A-15 stabiliser arm (15lbs/6.8kg support) and Steadicam Aero vest, or the Steadicam A-30 stabiliser arm (30lbs./13.6kg support) and Zephyr vest for larger camera packages. The mechanical gimbal collar/yoke and weighted base are also available separately for use with existing 1/2" post stabilizer systems.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Affordably converts handheld motorised gimbals into body worn stabilisers
  • Stabiliser arm greatly reduces the common bouncing image effect on the z-axis whilst walking with handheld gimbals
  • Execute more natural-looking manual camera pan movements

COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING ARMS AND VESTS
If you already have a Steadicam arm and vest combo you may be able to use it with the Steadimate-S with little or no modification. If you have a vest and arm listed below you will just need to buy the Steadimate-S gimbal and weighted base alone. Some arms require the purchase of a new ½ post as noted below. Weight capacity of any system is determined by the capacity of the arm.
  • Solo arm & vest
  • Pilot arm & vest
  • Aero 15 arm & vest
  • Aero 30 arm & vest
  • Zephyr arm & vest
  • Merlin 2 arm & vest (requires new post, item# 801-7291)
*Arms and vests purchased with the original Steadimate system are also compatible.
*The SDMS Gimbal is NOT compatible with the RoninS2 and S3. We are working on a solution, but will not be ready until Late Summer 2022.
