3-Axis Camera Stabilizer Gimbal

Image
Over the course of several hours thirty four different parts come together to produce just one of the high precision 3-axis camera stabilizer gimbals found in our Specter Stabilizer .   For precise alignment of the mounting holes, the middle layer of the gimbal starts out as a square .   Once the holes are drilled and threaded the corners are cut off prior to final rounding( Shown on right) . Designed with three layers that are machined together for a perfect fit, lighter weight, and calibration adjustment for perfect balance. .  It takes over seventy different parts to assemble just one of our Specter Stabilizers , seventeen of which are custom machined with tolerances of just a few thousandth of an inch. Here’s a close up look at just two of those custom parts found in the 3-axis gimbal. With high precision ultra low friction surfaces, the new fully ceramic main bearing will give you the super smooth footage you need. ...

Introducing The Specter Stabilizer

Image
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 ...
