Add professional-level stability and smoothness to your videos with this Matrix One Chimera Bundle from SmartSystem. This bundle includes the ArmX1 stabilizer arm, the Matrix Chimera stabilizer sled with a V-mount battery plate, the Vest Lite with a transport backpack, and a hard-shell case to carry the components and their accessories.

The Matrix Chimera sled is designed to stabilize large cinema camera rigs with its impressive gyro, while the Volt's active roll analysis pushes the gyro towards a perfectly level horizon. The ArmX1 features a fine-tuning system that enables you to match the mass of your rig with the appropriate level of resistance, resulting in the state of equilibrium known as critical damping. The ambidextrous Vest Lite fits snugly around the torso with its adjustable pads and ratcheting system, comfortable and secure for both male and female operators.

SmartSystem Arm X1 Professional Stabilization Arm

Fly your cine camera with precision and confidence using the Arm X1 Professional Stabilization Arm from SmartSystem. Its fine-tuning system enables you to perfectly match the mass of your rig with the appropriate level of resistance, resulting in the state of equilibrium known as critical damping.

Its 7075 aluminum alloy, rated higher than aircraft-grade, has the Brinnell hardness, fatigue strength, and tensile strength of carbon steel yet without the weight. It is outfitted with an industry-standard mating block that can easily be switched from regular to goofy.

High-Grade 7075 Aluminum Alloy
The Arm X1 is constructed from 7075 aluminum, which is classified as superior to aircraft-grade aluminum. It has a Brinnel hardness, fatigue strength, and tensile strength over 60% higher than those of 6082 high-quality aluminum.
Fine-Tuned Resistance
A force-multiplier control enables the user to precisely match the resistance with the mass of your rig. This on-the-go capability comes in handy when doing a lens swap, removing a matte box, or other alterations that affect the mass of the payload. Finding the balance between too much resistance, which produces oscillations, and too little, which creates a lagging effect, is made simple by the Arm X1's XTune system.
Payload Range of 13.2 to 74.9 lb
The arm supports a 60 lb weight range, suitable for a wide array of rigs.
Boom Range
The Arm X1 has a boom range of 28.5", enabling you to raise the camera for a high-angle shot, or lower it down to shoot up at a subject.
Italian Manufacturing
Every component of the Arm X1 is machined in the company's own factory in Italy.
SmartSystem Matrix Sled Chimera (V-Mount)

Add professional-level stability and smoothness to your videos with this Matrix Sled Chimera (V-Mount) from SmartSystem. The Matrix Extreme sled is designed to stabilize large cinema camera rigs with its impressive gyro, while the Volt's active roll analysis push the gyro towards a perfectly level horizon.

Avoid underpower-induced vibrations with the dedicated power line from the C-battery. Stick your landings with consistency by presetting an angle for the Volt to find as you finish your move.
