4th Axis Gimbal Stabilizer - Pro 2 Model by ScottyMakesStuff

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I'm super happy with the new Pro 2 model. The footage is now 30% smoother than the original Pro 1 model!
I've made a number of videos on the stabilizer below;-

Note: this is for the Compact Pro but for the most part it's identical.

The dreaded 'gimbal bob' will be a thing of the past with the silky smooth footage you'll get with the new full size Pro 2 Model 4th Axis Camera Stabilizer!
On the outside it’s got the same Pro 1 looks but that’s where the comparison ends. Every part has been tweaked and re-designed to squeeze every last bit of silky smooth goodness out of it.
The major changes in the new Pro 2 model are:-
It now floats effortlessly on 18 high quality bearings
The fluid damping has now gone crazy smooth with the addition of a new high tech synthetic damping gel
The geometry has been further tweaked for even softer load support
I think the biggest thing for me is that I can take everything I need for a shoot, lights, audio recorder and field monitor and it all fits in a backpack so there’s no need for an assistant and with my Zhiyun Remote mounted in the optional handle I can do away with a tripod and slider. But the real biggie is that you’ll be hard pressed to see the difference between footage shot on the new Pro 2 rig and the footage shot on a system totalling many thousands.
Some other important features;-
It’s built extra tough for the rigours of Pro use
It now includes a built in stand so you can rest your arms between takes
It’s adaptable with an ever growing eco-system of add ons for individualizing your rig
It’s been designed to be quiet so your audio won’t be ruined by the creaks and squeaks that those cheap Z stabilizers have.
And you don’t need a 10 pound padded shipping case to move it around. It all fits in a backpack!
You can leave the tools at home with tool-less adjustments in only seconds, not minutes
Pros can attach everything they need to your rig with 12 attachment points
And there’s 3 load springs to choose from for payloads from 2 to 10 pounds (0.9 to 4.5kg)
Dual independent adjustable fluid damping - from hard action to soft shots
Dual independent load adjusters to adapt to your rig
Adjust in seconds from high shot to upright to mid height to briefcase mode
Get buttery smooth footage with ease
