A new paradigm in gimbal performance and adaptability
The AllSteady Motion is transforming the way we film. Whether if you are employing your existing arsenal of monopods, tripods and cranes to elevate and mobilize your gimbal, contemplating a possible upgrade from a 3-axis gimbal with the Jockey 4th-axis vertical stabilizers to take out bounces or mounting the gimbal under a drone, the AllSteady Motion can adapt to a vast range of environments and productions. Looking for other creative tools? The AllSteady Motion offers convenient options including wireless joystick for a second operator, wireless follow focus ready for Red-Rock Micro or LenzHound and continuous 360 panning for multirotors.
Utilize MONOPOD & JOCKEY SUPPORT RIG under the AllSteady Motion 3-Axis Gimbal to eliminated arm & back strain. Pull the monopod out of the rig's holster for increased movement & mobility
The CAMERA REMAINS UPRIGHT when you invert the AllSteady Motion 3-Axis Gimbal. No more upside-down camera adjustments & post editing to flip images
Framing with the ANGLE LOCK & BUILT-IN JOYSTICK is quick and easy. Simply drag and hold the camera mount, for one second, to face and establish any desired position. Built-in joysticks on the AllSteady Motion utilize the main gimbal battery so there is one less battery to keep track of
Imagine the possibilities! An adaptable gimbal platform requires comprehensive planning and rigorous testing. Pairing a gimbal with any supporting camera equipment should not be left to chance because improvised adaptation often leads to incompatibility and/or impaired functions.
Auto-Tune
Although Turbo Ace have balanced and auto-tuned your AllSteady Motion Gimbal to the camera and lens you have selected, you can easily switch to smaller or bigger camera/lens combinations. Simply balance the new camera and lens combination using the tool less adjustments, then click and hold the joystick on the handle or the mode button on the gimbal for 20 seconds and the gimbal will automatically go through a sequence of tests and adjustments to revise PID setting for each motor.
Although you can further fine-tune PID setting, knowledge and experience with PID settings is no longer required. Prior to Auto-Tune technology, gimbal suppliers and users are forced to split the convenience of preprogrammed joystick modes to cover better access more functions or to accommodate more versatile payloads. Now you can have them both.
Encoder Technology
More powerful and resilient, the AllSteady Motion Gimbal features cutting edge encoder technology, an electromechanical device with integrated dual pole neodymium magnet for exceptional speed and accuracy of motor position control. This closed-loop feedback plays a critical counterpart to angular accelerometers in common gimbal sensors which only tracks the position of the frame. When knocked out of position, the convention gimbal often vibrates and struggles to recover, while AllSteady Motion & Jockey Motion encoder assisted stabilization will immediately and smoothly return the gimbal to its original position.
Memory Angle Lock & Anti-Drift Technology
In contrast to traditional gimbals, AllSteady Motion employs intuitive Memory Angle Lock that enables the operator to physically and temporarily override gimbal functions. When pressed by sudden or multiple shooting angles, an operator can successively and manually drag a working gimbal's pan or tilt axis and hold (for a couple of seconds) the gimbal to face a new desired direction, which signals the gimbal not to return to the original direction. Furthermore, the AllSteady Motion won't slowly drift away from its intended target so you can start right where you left off.
Built-in Joystick with 5 Preprogrammed Modes
The joystick control can be used to realign the camera's direction or to facilitate motorized panning or tilting, a great way to create smooth and consistent camera movement from a stationary or moving vantage point. Additionally, you can switch between 5 preprogrammed operating modes by clicking the joystick on the handle or the mode button directly on the back of the gimbal 1 to 5 times.
The gimbal controller will always remember and initialize under the last selected mode. The Motion Gimbal's Auto-Tune's ability to accommodate changes in camera and lens payload frees all 5 preprogrammed modes in providing a wider selection of operating functions.
Mode 1: Full Lock Mode (Often used in conjunction with cranes tripods & sliders)
Mode 2: Tilt Lock (Vertical Lock) & Pan Follow Mode (Often used in conjunction with drones & monopods.)
Mode 3: Slow (Majestic) Full Follow Mode (Extremely smooth epic movements.)
Mode 4: Standard Full Follow Mode (Moderate direction change for common action shots.) This is also where the root profile is stored.
Mode 5: customizable Accessory Mode (Programmable)

Ultra Fast 32-Bit Dual Sensor Stabilization
Driven by an exclusive Turbo Ace gimbal controller, the AllSteady-6, AllSteady Motion and Jockey Motion Gimbals feature cutting edge 32-bit processor with ultra fast pan, roll and tilt auto-compensation. Dual Sensor enables the controller to monitor and maintain proper gimbal orientation at all times. To power larger motors at cooler operating temperatures, they have upgraded the controller to 30A so you don't need to worry about overheating on longer shoots or under the sun.
Unparalleled Capacity & Versatility
With an 8 pounds capacity, AllSteady-6, AllSteady Motion Gimbal heavy duty structure and powerful motors are designed to support effortless transitions between various combinations of large cameras and lenses. In general, gimbals with weaker motors often require constant tuning via software to accommodate changing payloads. Integration of larger more powerful AllSteady motors has all but eliminated this cumbersome task for a huge range of cameras and lenses. Hence, AllSteady factory tuning and settings can still be changed but no longer a necessity. Simply put, this gimbal will work for whatever you can balance on it.
Quick Tool less Balancing
As for balancing the gimbal, a procedure used to align camera or camera cage to the gimbal's center of gravity (CG), AllSteady-6 utilizes proprietary tool less anti-slip brackets on rectangular booms to optimize strength and reduce weight. Unlike conventional balancing that can easily take hours, the AllSteady's quick tool less adjustments encourages creative use of different cameras and lenses on the run with quick and easy tool less pan-axis & roll-axis micro adjustments. As for proper tilt-axis CG, there are tool less height and tilt-axis adjustments on the camera tray to align the camera with the tilt motor. To accommodate more extreme setups, there are also versatile macro adjustments on both the pan-axis and roll-axis brackets.
Powerful Over-Sized Brushless Motors
A motor's capacity and how it's mounted will determine what camera, lens and accessories can be used. Although all 3 motors fulfills a special function on the gimbal, the tilt-axis motor at the side of the camera cage, the roll-axis motor at the back of the gimbal and the pan-axis motor at the top of the gimbal carry progressively more payload and stress. Catering to specific performance requirements, the AllSteady's three brushless motors are differentiated with special characteristics. While the roll-axis motor's emphasis is in power and strength, the tilt-axis motor is especially high in precision. With extra load bearing torque and panning resolution, the larger and more crucial pan-axis motor offers an ultimate mix of power, strength and precision.
Smart & Clutter-Free Power Integration
An integrated power on/off switch allows for easy starts and stops between clips. The convenience of a secured battery compartment also eliminates the clutter of brackets and wires from the handle. And, instead of relying on the cameraman to constantly monitor the gimbal's battery status, they have integrated a Smart LiPo Battery setup to prevent LiPo battery damage due to overdrawn voltage. With so much at stake during shoots, they want AllSteady gimbal operators to have one less thing to worry about.
AllSteady-6Plus Camera Cage
For proper balancing on gimbals, the Payload CG (center of gravity of camera and lens) has to be aligned with the Gimbal CG (the intersection of the projected tilt-axis, roll-axis and pan-axis motor shafts). Beyond weight limitations, a gimbal's ability to accommodate different cameras and lenses is mostly based on the gimbal's camera cage dimensions, adjustability and clearance.
By far the most important measurement is the camera cage depth that limits how far the operator can shift larger payloads forward and backward to properly align Payload CG with Gimbal CG, all while allowing about 15-20mm of extra clearance for the payload to tilt up and down.
