4th Axis Gimbal Stabilizer - Pro 2 Model

thingiverse

I'm absolutely thrilled with the new Pro 2 model. The footage is now a whopping 30% smoother than the original Pro 1 model! I've made some fantastic videos on the stabilizer below;- Features: https://youtu.be/ydT-I7Mbt4o Show-reel: https://youtu.be/YFTraoByCp4 DIY video: https://youtu.be/rivhUJsmm-I 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 totaling many thousands. **Some other important features:** * It’s built extra tough for the rigors 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 ecosystem 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 **Specifications:** Weight: 2.8 pounds (1.27kg) Operating Temperatures: -10C to 50C (14F-120F) Payloads (Camera, gimbal, and any extras): 945 Springs - light: 2 to 5.5 pounds (0.9 to 2.5kg) 371 Springs - medium: 2.9 to 6.6 pounds (1.3 to 3kg) 218 Springs - heavy: 5 to 10 pounds (2.3 to 4.5kg) You can check out my other designs here: https://www.thingiverse.com/ScottyMakesStuff/designs You can see all my videos on my YouTube Channel, ScottyMakesStuff here: https://www.youtube.com/c/ScottyMakesStuff https://twitter.com/ScottyMakesStuf https://www.instagram.com/scottymakesstuff/
