About Ikan DS2-DGH-KIT

DS2 Beholder 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer with Encoders
The iKan Beholder DS2 is the successor to the popular DS1. The DS2 is designed specifically for professional filmmakers looking for a single handheld stabilizer for a large range of small cameras weighing up to 4 lbs. The DS2 features a 60 second Auto-Sweep mode, which allows you to program a 60 second camera movement. The Beholder DS2 is lightweight, easy to use and can be carried in your camera bag. In addition, the DS2 is versatile enough to be used with a DSLR, mirrorless camera, GoPro or smartphone.

• Durable all aluminum construction
• 360 Degree movement from pan axis
• Work with cameras up to 4 lbs (1814g)
• 60 Second auto-sweep mode
• Equipped with 3-axis gyro stabilized brushless motors to balance most mirrorless cameras as well as smartphones and GoPro cameras

360 Motor
The DS2 features a 360 degree rotation brushless motor on the pan axis for a higher range of mobility.

Designed for Multiple Cameras
With a payload of up to 4 lbs, the DS2 has the ability to stabilize a wide range of today's popular DSLR and mirrorless cameras including the Canon 5D Mark IV, Canon 6D, Canon 7D, Sony a6300, Sony a7SII, Panasonic GH5GoPro and smartphone.

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

Lock Mode
In Lock Mode, the pan, 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.

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 features 3 different follow modes. In PanAxis Follow Mode, the DS2 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.

Lock Mode (Profile 1)
Lock Mode will allow the camera to hold a certain direction and will not follow, pan or tilt.

Pan-Follow Mode (Profile 2)
Pan-Follow Mode allows the gimbal to follow pan axis and hold the tilt position.

Follow Mode (Profile 3)
Follow Mode allows the camera to follow both tilt and pan directions.

3-Axis Follow Mode (Profile 4)
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 is easy to balance without any tools.

Dual Grip Gimbal Handle
Controlling your MS-Pro, DS1 or EC1 Beholder Gimbal is a breeze with iKan's DGH Dual Grip Gimbal Handle! Constructed out of durable, lightweight, aluminum, the DGH's sturdy frame is specifically designed to make gimbal operation much easier.

• Compatible with the iKan MS-Pro, DS1 and EC1 Gimbals
• Adds enhanced control and maneuverability to hand held gimbal operation
• Works with most gimbals which include a 1/4"-20 & 3
• 3/8"-16 threaded mount on base
• Made of durable yet lightweight aluminum
• Built-in feet allow the Handle to securely set on a table top for calibration or stationary shooting
• Comfort Grip handles help reduce fatigue and loss of grip

After mounting your MS-Pro, DS1 or EC1 on it, two comfortable, padded grip handles allow you to control the gimbal's movement with your upper body instead of your wrist. The shift in weight greatly increases stability and decreases arm fatigue. Depending on your shooting preference, you can operate the gimbal either over-handed or under-handed once it's mounted on the DGH. The built-in tabletop feet allow you to easily calibrate your gimbal hands-free and provide a firm base to set it on when not in use. Although the DGH is specifically designed for iKan's MS-Pro, DS1 and EC1, it is compatible with most gimbals that feature a 1/4"-20 mounting point on the gimbal's base.

Padded Grip Handles
The style of "handlebar" grip reduces fatigue and increases stability when in use.

Tabletop Feet
With the integrated tabletop feet, you can calibrate your MS-Pro, DS1 or EC1 gimbal hands-free and provide a resting spot for it when not in use.

Inverted Usage
The DGH's unique design allows you to operate your gimbal either in an over-handed or under-handed position. (Note: Underhanded operation requires a gimbal that can properly operate when inverted).

Gimbal Compatibility
Although the DGH is specifically designed for iKan's MS-Pro, DS1 or EC1 it is compatible with most gimbals that feature a 1/4"-20 mounting point on the gimbal's base 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.
