The Steadicam Steadimate is the link between motorized gimbals, including the DJI Ronin and Freefly MoVI models, and the traditional Steadicam Arm & Vest system. Together, the Steadicam System provides additional stabilization and neutrally balanced tilting, which result in smoother shots and less work for the operator.
Arm & Vest Adapter for Motorized Gimbals
How It Works:
Attach the Steadimate adapter to the handlebar of the motorized gimbal
Balance the Steadimate System
Connect your Arm and Vest
Enjoy the operating benefits!
The Benifits:
Take the load off the operator's arms for longer durations of operating without the fatigue
Effortless tilting via the pivot on the Steadimate
Increased stability & z-axis stabilization for the smoothest shot possible
Quick interchangeable use from handheld operation to Steadimate operation
Compatibility:
Motorized Gimbals with handlebars that are 25 mm, 25.5 mm, or 30 mm in diameter
The Steadimate comes standard with a post block and balance pin that fit arms with 1/2" posts. Operators can purchase accessories that adapt the Steadimate to fit arms with 5/8" and 3/4" posts
The weight capacity for the Steadimate depends on the weight capacity of the motorized gimbal, arm, & vest being used. For operators who already own an arm & vest, the Steadimate can be purchased on its own.
