Demo footage of our new Specter Stabilizer. Weather conditions were not in our favor with wind gusts up to 35mph and average wind speeds of 10-15mph, however the Specter Stabilizer performed beautifully in most conditions. Due to the weather, the stabilizer was loaded up to full weight with inertial dampers to help control stability. The Specter Stabilizer is a great low cost alternative to other STEADICAM® style Stabilizers. STEADICAM® is a registered trademark of The Tiffen Company. After reviewing the settings on the camera we found that this video was actually shot zoomed in slightly.

We gave you a sneak preview a few days ago, now it's time to introduce our new stabilizer, the Specter.  Weighing in only 1 1/2oz heaver than our previous model the MiniDV Stabilizer, it packs a punch of new features.   1. Extendable from 13 1/2in to 23in tall   2. Movable gimbal allows vertical balance to be adjusted in multiple ways.   3. Inertial dampers reduce unwanted rotation.   4. High precision ceramic main bearing and Teflon sealed side bearings offer optimal performance by reducing bearing friction.   5. Up to 12 different ways it can be set up to suit your filming style.   6. Supports cameras from 0-5.5pounds.  That's not a typo, the movable gimbal allows the vertical balance to actually go all the way down to zero.  So all those Flip, Kodak and other micro cameras are supported.  It should also be noted that the 5.5pound max is the maximum camera setup the stabilizer will support with the weights included, but not necessarily your arm because it does get he

A little sneak preview of what's just around the corner, a snap shot of our new prototype stabilizer gimbal assembly.  Custom milled aluminium/ABS plastic combo for a light weight and fully adjustable setup.  It features a ceramic main bearing and teflon sealed side bearings for super smooth camera flow. Stay tuned, as the release is in the works.

While we were looking for new ways to save you money, we tracked down a big one. After shipping a couple of our hard shell cases, we found the post office is charging extra for the size of the item. That's why we'll be switching to UPS for domestic shipments of the hard shell case. This change could save you up to $14 on shipping! Exceptions: Hawaii, Alaska

Want a professional look at a low price? We are proud to introduce our new Hard Shell Case; big enough for our standard MiniDV Stabilizer and a small camera, or the MiniDV Stabilizer Pro at full length. It comes pre-cut to fit both units and has additional diced foam to allow you to add some of your accessories as well. Check out our website to find out more. BalvanzEnterprises.com/HardShellCase.html
