Steadicam Solo Overview

This B&H Kit includes a Steadicam Solo Stabilizer & Monopod and a Steadicam Solo Arm Vest that provides a stabilizer system, which, when used with the arm vest kit, allows stabilized camera work while transferring the weight of the system to your body, lessening fatigue and allowing for longer operating time.

question

Looking for a good hard case for the solo and Merlin arm and vest.
Asked by: bob k.
Vest wont fit in a Pelican 1650. The 1660 and IM2975 Storm Case are worth a look.

question

If the SOLO VEST & ARM have a weight load capacity of 4-15 pounds, why is it listed that this product has a weight load capacity of only 10 pounds?Isn't the weight load capacity dependent upon what the vest and arm can carry?
Asked by: Tyler
I am not sure about the kit but stabilizer broke after few uses.. not worth the money. I have seen other videographers using glide cam. Not a relative answer to your question but thought this info might help.

Does this package include everything but the camera?

This includes the Solo, Arm & Vest. Not included is a stand and mounting bracket. These will allow you to store the Solo sled when not in use and balance it as well.
