With the Elastix Support System added to the CAME-TV Argo 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer you will now be able to achieve highly enhanced stability with the gimbal. The Elastix Support replaces the Argo's standard handles and provides spring-loaded resistance in overhead or underhand operation, while also allowing the handles/handgrips to be adjusted at multiple points for different scenarios.
Featuring tool-less adjustment and a 32-bit Alexmos board, the CAME-TV Argo is a motorized 3-axis handheld gimbal that lets you capture smooth and precise free-floating stabilized camera shots. The gimbal supports loads up to 6.6 lb, making it most suitable for DSLR and mirrorless camera setups, and sports a modular design that allows the gimbal unit to be attached to an included top handle bar assembly for two-handed operation, or to other support devices such as a jib, slider, or drone using a supplied adapter plate. Both handles on the top bar attach via thumbscrews for quick position and angle adjustment, with a center handle useful for low angle shooting or simply carrying the stabilizer between shots.
Gimbal operating mode selection and pan/tilt angle adjustments is performed using a wireless joystick remote. The remote can be mounted directly to the handle bar and placed near one of the handles for thumb control of the joystick, or used detached from the stabilizer by a second operator. As with sled-and-vest-style stabilizers, motorized gimbal systems require balancing. Argo uses a quick release camera plate and index markings for its tool-less position adjustment, making it easier to find optimal balance point and to recall settings for different camera and lens combinations.
A quick release LiPo battery attaches to the gimbal to provide up to 15 hours of power. Beneath the camera baseplate is a 5.8 GHz wireless video transmitter with micro-HDMI input to take the output from your camera and send it to a wireless monitor. Also located beneath the baseplate is a 12V D-tap output to power an optional accessory from the gimbal battery, such as a wireless follow focus motor, which can be mounted using an included single 15mm rod clamp and 3.9" long rod.

The CAME-TV ELASTIX Support System is designed specifically for the CAME-TV ARGO 3-Axis Gimbal, sold separately. Featuring a spring-resistance mechanism, angle-adjustable handles, and shoulder and waist straps, the ELASTIX replaces the ARGO's standard handles and allows you to achieve highly enhanced stability with the gimbal.
The ARGO can be attached on the top or bottom of the main spring-loaded component, allowing for overhead or underhand operation. At the same time, the handgrips and handgrip arms are adjustable at multiple points via rosette adapters to provide you with the best handling in different applications, whether the gimbal is secured from the top or bottom.
