The Quad Pod Pro 577 is a multi function hand held video camera stabilizer system. Both hands are used to grip, balance and steady the camera. This model comes with the Bogen 577 quick release plate. We beefed up the strength, made it disassemble for easy packing, and added a fatigue free support pod called a Swivel Pod. It's light, well balanced, quick and easy to use, and requires no change over time between modes of operation. Now you can shoot like the pro you are without the bulky shoulder harnesses and cumbersome body rigs. It's natural, simple to use, and gives you versatility, mobility and stability, even when on the go.
Bogen 577
The Bogen 577 gives you the freedom to remove the camera from the head without detaching it from the plate and put it on any other support. Compatible with the 3433PL camera plate (supplied with the 3433, 3460, and 3465 heads) and the special 501PLONG accessory plate.
Durable
The Quad Pods are finished with a state of the art technique called UV (ultra violet) Powder coating, which provides a durable finish that will last a lifetime.
4 Quad Grips
The 4 Quad Grips allow comfortable hand held shooting when standing still or moving about. It's easy to shoot in any style. The front grips are for shooting low to waist high and above. The back grips come in handy when you need to get your camera over your head to shoot down or over and around people or obstructions. Unlike simple handlebar type grips, the Quad Grips are hand contoured for a more natural feel and don't require change over time. When mounted to a tripod or mono, the Quad grips are now used for positioning the camera, but when quick mobility is needed, you're off in a snap.
Swivel Pod
The "Swivel Pod" is a 3-way telescopic extension waist support system. It features the quickest and most convenient way to wear and adjust a waist pod and needs only a twist to operate. Now you can open and lock position with one hand whether you are stationary or moving.
Belt Loops
Universal belt loops allow you to attach the Swivel Pod to your own belt. No need for unsightly body belts and uncomfortable pole pouches that can dig into your groin. The T Bar torque rod spreads out the weight and used in conjunction with the Shock Strap, overall weight is distributed evenly.
Shock Straps
The Shock Strap can be used with or without the Swivel Pod and provides more freedom of motion and vertical maneuverability than a shoulder support.
