SteadiCam Steadicam SOLO Camera Stabilizer, Supports up to 10 lbs
The Steadicam SOLO is a professional shooting instrument. It's also a brand new critter - a radical hybrid that crosses-over seamlessly from Steadicam to monopod and performs tricks in between that neither can do alone. You may be a veteran Steadicam ace looking for the ultimate run-and-gun rig for your new digital camera, or a seasoned conventional shooter, eager to expand your technique, or maybe you're new to the game: a film student or gifted amateur, ready to edge into the professional world in any case you're in for a rewarding experience. Your new SOLO is a true Steadicam: precise, rigid and beautifully engineered, and it's also a brilliant and versatile monopod; but most startling to me, after decades of shooting, is the realization that SOLO can deliver combination shots I never imagined, and with a speedy panache that would spin the heads of my old Hollywood colleagues. With its inertia-augmenting "wings" folded out, monopod shooting is stable in all three axes - tilt and roll,' obviously, but now also "pan" - and with SOLO also balanced in Steadicam mode (at any desired length), you can smoothly "lift off" and walk, run or climb stairs like your favorite moves from the movies. You can hoist the camera up for ceiling-height "aerials" or invert it to skim the floor, and then seamlessly return to monopod or Steadicam-mode - with or without the optional arm and vest. We have entered a new, highly democratic era in filmmakin g, and our tools are ever more accessible for shooting, editing and special effects. Increasingly, success may finally depend more on skill and talent than on big budgets - and SOLO can help you get there. This latest iteration of the "noble instrument" is cool and it's HOT and I look forward to seeing your results - in sample reels, documentaries, commercials, home videos, reality TV and feature films! <b> ABOUT THE SOLO </b> The SOLO Arm and Vest makes extended shooting nearly effortless, providing complete comfort and functionality for extended productions and long continuous shots.
