Description


DSLR Gimbal Stabilizer will last up to 12 hours on a single charge. Between the front trigger, the rear mode button, and the joystick, precise gimbal control lets you obtain the shots you require. The front trigger can lock the gimbal when held, re-center the gimbal when tapped twice, and engage the Selfie mode by turning 180° when tapped three times. Press the mode button to engage three customizable operation profiles, each with tunable speed and response for different shooting scenarios. If fast-moving subjects are your forte, the Sport mode delivers extra-quick response times and fast gimbal movements, up to a maximum speed of 45 mph. With this operation flexibility, the DSLR Gimbal Stabilizer will fit into documentary, event, and feature film workflows.

Everything you need to get started shooting with the DSLR Gimbal Stabilizer comes with the gimbal. A sliding camera mounting plate for attaching your camera and balancing works with the included lens support and riser to secure your mirrorless or DSLR camera of choice. A Mini USB control cable is included for camera control functions like start/stop and focus pulling (depending on camera compatibility). A USB charger is included for quick-charging the gimbal. The gimbal and all included accessories can be stored inside the included travel case, which helps protect your equipment during storage and transport.
