Angled Motor Arm
The DS2-A is the first Ikan Beholder gimbal to feature an angled motor arm that gives you a better view of the camera's screen. This makes it easier to frame your shots and follow the action.

360deg. Motors
The DS2-A features a 360 degree rotation brushless motor on the yaw axis for a higher range of mobility.

Designed for DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras
With a payload of up to 5 lbs. the DS2-A has the ability to stabilize a wide range of today's popular DSLR & mirrorless cameras including the Canon 6D, Canon 7D, Sony a6500, Sony a7SII, Panasonic GH5, GoPro or smartphone.

Advanced Stabilization
Using a 32-bit controller with a 12-bit encoder, the DS2-A uses an adaptive PID algorithm to produce an efficient handheld stabilizer. This means that the gimbal will respond faster, balance easier and have greater battery life.

Lock Mode
In Lock Mode, the yaw, pitch and roll axis work together to keep the camera pointed in one direction. The camera's composition will stay the same no matter how you move the handle.

Point & Lock
Quickly lock your camera into any position by manually pointing and holding it in any direction. After a few seconds, the camera will lock and hold its position until it is reset back to default.

Auto Inversion
Switch to Inverted Mode at any time by simply flipping the handle over the camera. Inverted Mode can be operated in conjunction with any of the Lock and Follow Modes.

Multiple Follow Modes
The DS2-A features 3 different follow modes. In Yaw-Axis Follow Mode, the DS2-A will only follow your pan movements. In Pitch and Yaw-Axis Follow mode, the DS2 will follow your pan and tilt movements. Finally, the 3-Axis Follow Mode gives you full control allowing you to pan, tilt and roll.

Pan-Follow Mode
Pan-Follow Mode allows the gimbal to follow pan axis and hold the tilt position.

Follow Mode
Follow Mode allows the camera to follow both tilt and pan directions.

3-Axis Follow Mode
3-Axis Follow Mode has no restrictions as it allows the camera to follow pan, tilt and roll.

60 Second Auto-Sweep
The DS2 has a 60 second auto-sweep feature that allows you to program a 60 second movement. Position the camera at the end point and then press the mode button 5 times. Then, position the camera at the start point and let the DS2 do the rest! The camera will move from one point to the other in a 60 second time frame.

OLED Status Display
A display screen located on the handle conveniently provides you with the battery life and current operating mode.

Easy to Use
With a newly designed quick-release baseplate system, the DS2-A is easy to balance without any tools.

Multiple Mounting Options
The DS2-A handle comes with two 1/4"-20 mounts that are perfect for mounting accessories such as a light, microphone or monitor. A 3/8"-16 thread located on the bottom allows you to securely mount the DS2-A to a tripod, jib or dual handle support system such as the Ikan DGH.

It's no surprise the DH7's simple, practical design makes it the ideal size and weight for field production.

Peaking
Ikan monitors are equipped with Monochrome Peaking features which highlight the desired focus area in a bright, red outline. The operator adjusts the focus control until the red indicator outlines on the desired area are razor sharp, indicating optimal focus. For the best results, be sure the subject is properly exposed.

False Color
The False Color feature utilizes a full spectrum of assigned color indicators, ensuring flawless shot exposure. The under/ over luminance warning enables the video professional to get the desired quality every time. By adjusting the camera's Iris, the subject of the image will change color based on specific brightness values indicating optimal exposure.
