It features a 5.8" monitor, Iso-elastic Arm and ultra low profile vest, lightweight sled with CarbonLite expandable post. This system comes with IDX batteries and charger.

Features

A low profile vest allows the Iso-Elastic Arm to work in a very smooth fashion.

• Low Mass Gimbal

Utilizing a proven Low Mass Gimbal the operator has the ability to capture the fluid movement that only Steadicam can provide.
