About SmartSystem Matrix Sled Chimera

Explore the Matrix Sled Chimera Stabilizer, a 3-Stud Mount marvel designed for the discerning filmmaker and photographer seeking unparalleled stability and versatility in their equipment. This high-quality stabilizer is engineered to provide robust support and reliable performance, ensuring your camera and gear remain secure during the most dynamic shoots.

Constructed with durability in mind, the Matrix Sled Chimera Stabilizer boasts a sturdy design that can withstand the rigors of professional use. Its universal compatibility makes it an ideal choice for a wide array of cameras and equipment, offering a versatile solution for various filming requirements.

The stabilizer features multiple mounting options for the Volt brain, including an under-top stage junction box with an optional bracket and top stage rods for additional utility. It can be mounted directly on the top stage with an in-bundle bracket for proximity to the camera, or with optional brackets and carbon fiber rods for a safe and decoupled connection, optimizing your low mode monitor setup.

At the heart of the Matrix Sled Chimera is the M2 gimbal, meticulously designed to natively integrate with the Volt system, delivering the most integrated experience and best stabilization possible. The dedicated power line on every Matrix Sled ensures that the gimbal motors are sufficiently powered, eliminating vibrations and glitches for smooth operation.

The Chimera version stands as the ultimate tool for cinema cameras, merging all the specifications of the Matrix Sled Extreme with the advanced technology of the Volt system from Steadicam. It includes additional counterbalance weights, allowing for the balancing of heavier cameras with ease.

Featuring a micrometric non-floating head with backlash compensation, the top stage provides a super stable camera mount. The Monitor LCD holder, mounted on separate rods, achieves maximum stiffness and flexibility, ensuring your monitor stays in the perfect position.

Innovative battery management is at the forefront of the Chimera's design, offering Double V-lock or 3-Studs Batteries slots for operational versatility, allowing you to choose between +12V or 24V with an extra C-Battery Slots. The 1.575" / 40mm carbon fiber telescopic center post enhances the rigidity of the system, defining a total weight of 5.5kgs without counterbalance weights, for a balance of strength and portability.

Elevate your filming and photography with the Matrix Sled Chimera Stabilizer, a reliable and high-quality choice for professionals who demand the best in camera stabilization technology.
