About this item

A new innovative approach to camera stabilizer design, the Steadicam ZEBXSDBVZZ Zephyr has a host of "future proof" features that allow it to be a versatile and an ever-evolving essential tool for camera stabilization needs. Continuation of the comfortable Flyer vest. The ergonomic fit of the breastplate combined with the new solid metal shoulder fasteners; assure a new comfort level for extended use. New vest and pad covers are easily removed for cleaning or replacement offering extended durability.

The new tools-free patented Iso-elastic stabilizer Zephyr Arm has been upgraded from the Steadicam FLYER and supports 24lbs (11kg) of payload weight. The no-tools Arm /Vest interface allows for quick customization to the individual operator. "On the fly" weight adjustment frees the operator from dismounting the system to make changes. The open design of the arm has freedom of movement unknown in this weight class.

The Zephyr adjustable and interchangeable arm post assembly is a feature usually found on more expensive systems. The 2-section arm can be separated for compact storage and transport. The Zephyr camera mounting stage was designed for enhanced mounting stability with standard HD and composite BNC video connectors, 2 x standard 3-pin LEMO power connectors and expandability ports for future accessories. The stage comes complete with a dual axis vernier adjustable mounting platform and extended camera mounting dovetail plate.

The Zephyr Sled Base features extendable rigid aluminum monitor and battery mounting rods, easily removable for compact storage or transport. A single mounting rod release allows for quick set-ups and ease of dynamic and inertial adjustments.
