The Zephyr incorporates the same revolutionary features that previously won the coveted DV Professional Association's "Best of Show" at NAB for Steadicam. Style, functionality, flexibility and affordability all wrapped within the new Steadicam Zephyr. A combination of innovative features derived from our popular PILOT, FLYER and Archer 2 Steadicam systems now allows an excel in the range of operating possibilities. A new innovative approach to camera stabilizer design, the Steadicam 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. The new Zephyr vest design incorporates adjustable and pivoting shoulder buckles to 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 23lbs (10.4kg) 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.
