Revo ST-1000 Overview

The Revo ST-1000 Pro Video Stabilizer is a handheld camera support device designed for shooting smooth, shake-free video. Once mastered, camera operators can use the ST-1000 to create fluid, "floating" camera movements, even when walking or running. The ST-1000 has a max capacity of approximately 4.85 lb, which makes it ideal for HDSLRs and small to midsized camcorders.

The ST-1000 employs a multi-axis gimbal, which isolates the camera from incidental twisting and wobbling motions. The adjustable baseplate features a quick release mounting plate and a bubble level, which can be used for fine tuning the proper balance. A 5-piece counterbalance weight set is also included. The foam padded handle and knurled stabilizer ring support one-handed operation, although two hands are recommended for optimal control.

Mounting Issue with Some Lenses

By IGOR
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2026-01-06

1. This stabilizer doesn’t suit for a combination of a small mirrorless body and a big-diametr lens. In this case, the mounting plate cannot be properly secured – a triangular gap forms between the camera and the plate; also, the mounting plate presses the lens dials rings. 2. It seems to be overpriced for the provided quality and usability.

Mirrorless stabilizer

The Revo ST-1000 Pro Video Stabilizer is a welcomed addition to my kit. I'll start by saying this, read the instructions and watch the video. This made life so much easier with getting the stabilizer balanced correctly. I did not do this at first as was starting to get frustrated but then watched the video and was able to get it properly balanced. The learning curve took a minute but once I got it balanced properly it's pretty easy to get back to that position. I use this with my XH2s and the tokina x mount lens. With the built in stabilization on the camera/lens and this it makes for some buttery smooth shots. The weights on the bottom are easy to adjust and take off and on. But once again, once I got it balanced I'm just going to use that same setup to keep it nice and easy to get running quickly. All-in-all it's a pretty good stabilizer once you get it set up properly. [I received this item in exchange for my honest review]

question

Will this work with a Lumix GX85?
Asked by: Jason Y.
Hi Jason,I use this stabilizer with a Lumix G7, which I believe is relatively the same size/weight as the GX85. This stabilizer will work with your camera, however you may need to play around with the bottom weights on the stabilizer as it is a lighter camera. Though once you find the correct position where your camera is balanced, it works very smoothly, giving very stable footage. Hope this is helpful.

question

Is it possible to put a Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera on this one with a shotgun microphone on it? I'm also interested to put an iPhone 5 on it Is it suitable for this case too?Thanks for your answer!
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes this is compatible with the Blackmagic Pocket camera and a microphone. However, I would not recommend this for an iPhone. I would recommend B&H # STSIP5G for an iPhone 5 instead.

question

does the handle have a tripod or monopod mount provision at the bottom?
Asked by: Rob
In the bottom of the hand grip, there is a hole for mounting the stabilizer on a shaft. This comes in handy for balancing and for storage between shooting set up. Of the several available, here is one I have used many a time. Yes, it costs more than the stabilizer itself but when you consider you are docking not only the stabilizer but a very expensive, delicate camera rig on it, you can see the value.

question

Once stabilized, is it possible to store it and keep the settings? Or do I have to do the adjustments every time I want to shot? (if I keep the same camera body and lens of course). Thanks for your help!
Asked by: Anonymous
It keeps the settings quite well. And needs to, because it is a little fiddly to get set up in the first place (sensitive balance, lots of variables). But once you get the thing set, you can just unscrew the base plate for the camera attachment and it keeps all the rest of the variables the same.

question

Would anyone recommend this for the Sony HVR-V1U? The camera has a weight of 3.4lbs, but most stabilizers I have seen like this are normally used with DSLRs.
Asked by: Nathan B.
I wouldn't recommend it at all. I could never get it to work. I have one that I need to sell - like new, interested?

question

Hello, I have a Nikon DSLR with a 18mm-300mm zoom lens. The DSLR weighs in at 3 pounds 8 1/2 ounces. I've read reviews and the question / answers below. I was wondering what your opinion would be for shooting video with that heavy of a camera using this stabilizer?
Asked by: Rich Ard
Hi, Richard. I wouldn't recomend this gear for your set-up. You're likely to have a really really hard time trying to acheive dynamic balance, and it will certainly not be perfect (or even decent). From my experience you should go for stabilizers with big gimbals.

question

Will this stabilizer work for my canon t3i along with an off-brand wide angle fisheye lens? I will be using it to video skateboarding and skiing
Asked by: Tucker S.
It didn't work for me at all and I did a lot less moving than you most likely would. It was a total waste of money. I couldn't even give it away.
