About SmartSystem Matrix Sled Chimera

Bring your videography to the next level with the Matrix Sled Chimera Stabilizer, V-Lock Mount, offering a multitude of mounting options for the Volt brain. This advanced stabilizer can be mounted under the top stage junction box with an optional bracket, or directly on the top stage using the in-bundle bracket for optimal proximity to the camera. For a secure and decoupled connection for your low mode monitor, it can also be mounted on the top stage using optional brackets and carbon fiber rods.

The Matrix Sled Chimera Stabilizer is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with gimbals that natively support the Volt system, ensuring the highest level of performance and stabilization. This stabilizer is equipped with the M2 gimbal, designed by Dedicated or shared power solutions, to provide the most integrated experience.

Understanding the power demands of brushless gimbal users, the Matrix Sled Chimera Stabilizer features a dedicated power line on every sled to eliminate vibrations and glitches caused by insufficient power. For the best results, SmartSystem recommends using the dedicated power path via a C-battery whenever possible.

The Chimera version of the Matrix Sled Stabilizer is the ultimate tool for cinema cameras, combining the specifications of the Matrix Sled Extreme with the advanced technology of the Volt system from Steadicam. Like the Extreme sled, it can balance heavier cameras with the help of additional counterbalance weights.

The stabilizer features a micrometric non-floating head backlash compensated top stage for a super stable camera mount. The separate rod-mounted LCD monitor holder offers maximum stiffness and flexibility. The innovative battery management system is based on Double Vlock or 3Studs Batteries slots, allowing you to operate at +12V or 24V with an extra C-Battery Slots.

Constructed with a 1.575" / 40mm Carbon fiber Telescopic center post, the Matrix Sled Chimera Stabilizer ensures ultimate rigidity, defining a total weight of 5.5kgs without counterbalance weights. This is the perfect tool for professionals seeking superior stabilization and performance in their video equipment.
