About SmartSystem Matrix Lite Basic Bundle, Includes Matrix Sled Basic, Arm X-Lite

Professional steadycam complete bundle at a very affordable price. It's the best choice for light cameras or for entry-level operators who need a professional system to improve their skills. This is the lightest SmartSystem steadycam bundle and is able to support loads ranging from 1.10 to 17.64 (0.5 to 8kg). With the SmartCam Matrix Lite Basic Bundle it is possible to stabilize light cameras like handycam or reflex.

Great Value for the Price
This bundle is composed of the Arm X-Lite, Matrix Sled Basic, Vest Lite and hard cases for the arm and sled. All at a great price!

A Bundle for Everyone.
Thanks to its affordability and versatility for light cameras, the Matrix Lite Basic Bundle is the right bundle for the videomaker that requires great performance with light cameras without wanting to invest in costly and oversized equipment.

Matrix Sled Basic
The SmartSystem Matrix Sled Basic makes Static Balancing and Dynamic Balancing extremely easy. Designed for light cameras, it has been equipped with cinema-grade sled functionalities like an ultra fluid gimbal and micrometric non-floating head. The Matrix Sled Basic accommodates an LCD Monitor as well as duo Vlock Battery slots.

Matrix is Tool Free
• You won't need to use keys any longer to set up your Matrix Sled Basic
• Has the operating speed you require
• The ability to make slight movements is essential. The use of an exclusive locking levers system and knobs with an ergonomic handle guarantee speed, accuracy and reliability.

1.5" Carbon Telescopic Post (40mm) Tool-Free
First rate carbon telescopic post with a 40mm diameter to ensure great strength while remaining extremely lightweight.

Ultra-Fluid and Tool-Free Professional Gimbal
The gimbal, as well as being surprisingly fluid, has an innovative locking clamp, minimizing the force necessary for fastening.

Smarthead
Solutions arise from needs. The Matrix Sled Basic's smarthead allows the operator to disconnect integrally the sled's head and create new configurations. Thanks to this technology, you can keep your sled up to date and prepared to accommodate future releases by SmartSystem. You can also customize the head according to your specific needs.

LCD Monitor Holder
Matrix Sled Basic can accommodate most popular LCD monitors on the market thanks to its new adjustable stand, specifically designed for this system.

Dedicated Wiring
Each component of your equipment could potentially require a particular voltage in order to work properly. Most commercial sleds have only one wiring in order to connect your battery pack from the lower side of the sled to the upper one. Matrix Sled makes it possible to connect up to three different voltages from your batteries to the component that needs to be powered up. This translates into complete freedom and versatility.

High Quality Connectors
From the original Neutrik XLR to the BNC connector with gold plated contacts, the power and video signal (Full-HD-HD-SDI) are guaranteed with the absence of any insertion loss.

Lemo - Fischer
SmartSystem's main target is easiness and quickness. Often the worst enemies of a steadycam operator are the cables themselves.

The standard connectors used on their sleds are strong, easy to find and, above all, have excellent electrical features.

To those who have equipment already provided with Fischer or Lemo connectors, it will be possible to use your own cables and connect this equipment to your Sled Matrix, thanks to the innovative SmartBox (available separately soon).

Arm X-Lite Technology
Directly derived from SMARTCAM ARM X1, X-LITE is the answer for all independent video makers and DSLR enthusiasts. The innovative S.A.C.S. system (SmartSystem advanced composite system: a new Aluminum/Carbon Fiber composite) has allowed all of its structural components to be made even lighter, without compromising performance in terms of resistance. The result is lighter equipment (only 6 lbs/2.80 kg, springs included) with a major increase in load capacity.

X-Lite is equipped with three interchangeable springs kits in order to hold loads (including camera, sled and accessory weight) from: 1 to 10 lbs (0.5 to 4.5kg), 10 to 19 lbs (4.5 to 8.5kg), and 19 to 30 lbs (8.5 to 13.5kg). And as with the X1 model, you can easily and quickly adjust the spring load with the appropriate preload screw.

Standard Arm Mating Block and 5/8" Sled Pin
X-Lite is equipped with a standard arm mating block and a 5/8" sled pin that will ensure you a full interchangeability.

Vest Lite
Smartcam Vest Lite has been designed in collaboration with professional steadycam operators in order to satisfy two essential needs: the perfect fit and a high level of comfort for the operator.

• Great comfort and perfect fit for operators of any height or weight, male or female
• Ergonomic and flexible design. Reduced weight: just 6 lbs (2.7kg)
• Buckle system for quick tighten and release operation
• Memory foam padding
• Balanced weight distribution
• Removable and washable textile parts
• Standard Arm connector. Compatible with all Professional Arms on the market
• Transport Bag included

Perfect Fit
• The perfect fit of this vest allows for longer operating times and prevents unhealthy postures that might cause pain.
• The lumbar belt, anatomically designed, allows the operator to distribute weight evenly and to discharge it onto the legs rather than on back.

One Size Fits All
Smartcam Vest Lite fits all operators, regardless of their individual heights and builds.

Functional Regulation System
SmartSystem's product guarantees a strong equipment hold as well as a convenient adjustability for the vest: All mechanical components, from the chest plate to the lumbar plate, can be regulated by the operator without removing the vest.

Materials
• The vest has been designed with highly durable and waterproof materials. All textile components can be easily removable and are washable.
• The structure has been made with aeronautical aluminum and some parts have been manufactured with AISI304 stainless steel.
• Comprised of the best materials, each piece of the Smartcam Vest Lite has been analyzed through FEM and then tested in their labs.

Standard Industry Connector
The vest is equipped with a standard connector, fully compatible with systems and spring arms produced by other manufacturers.

Adjustable Loops
The loops can be regulated and used either as a track or an interconnection between the buckle and the upper part of the vest.
