The Hermit POV Support System is the all in one solution for achieving professional first person point of view footage. The core of the system is our lightweight, scratch resistant, carbon fiber helmet. The helmet supports various options for rigging cameras, external power, and other accessories such as wireless video transmitters.
The Hermit utilizes two articulating rosette based mounting arms which can support compact cameras both in front of and in back of the helmet. Two different mounting plates and secondary rosette extender arms allow for additional points of articulation if needed to achieve more complicated camera positioning or better balancing of less common setups.
The adjustable battery plate in the back of the helmet allows you to power your camera and accessories via Gold Mount batteries. The battery plate connects to a Balance Module which can be adjusted further or closer to the helmet to perfectly counter the weight of the camera when mounted in the front.
Additional counter weights are included to ensure perfect balance and comfortable operation. Multiple Cold Shoe, 1/4 "-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting points are located on the front, top and side of the Hermit which accommodates most accessories while offering increased flexibility for weight distribution.
The included 15mm Rod Adapters and multiple length 15mm rods can be used to mount cameras to the system via rods which allows for faster transitioning for rod based camera builds. Featuring five different mounting options for the front, back and side of the helmet, the Hermit POV Support System is one of the most advanced first person point of view shooting solutions currently available.
Note: We recommend using additional neck support when using heavier camera systems.
