SteadiShot 5500 Pro Stabilizer System w/Vest and Arm

The Steadishot 5500 Pro is a lightweight, hand-held stabilizing system designed for medium weight cameras weighing up to 9 pounds.

Enter a place where super-smooth tracking shots, and the ability to shoot fluid traveling shots from moving vehicles are not just possible, they're a way of life. This is the world of the next generation in camera stabilization.

The Pro Series offset handle grip is attached to a free floating, precision gimbal, which allows your hand to move up and down, and side to side, thereby isolating your hands unwanted motions from the camera. The spring arm smooths movement even more, allowing for amazing tracking shots across uneven terrain.  The up and down spring movement alleviates bouncing, jarring movements.

The camera platform moves back and forth, and side to side, to quickly allow you to adjust the cameras horizontal balance. By varying the amount of counterweight disks on the base platform you adjust the camera's vertical balance. When balanced properly the camera floats. Now you're ready to move into action.

The 5500 Pro Vest and Spring Arm:

The All New 5500 Pro Vest can be used with either the Glidecam 2000 or 4000 models or with the SteadiShot 3000 or 5000 and provides unparalleled support and range of motion. This allows all the entire weight of the system, including your camera and accessories, to be supported by your body - rather than your arms.

Additionally, the spring arm helps to absorb shock that would normally be transferred from your body to the camera while you walk. This feature is imperative for moving shots and is what gives that true "Steadicam" look.
