From the creators of the renowned Letus Helix comes the Helix Jr. Handheld Aluminum Gimbal Stabilizer, a compact and lightweight solution designed for professional cinematography. This high-quality gimbal stabilizer is perfect for capturing smooth, stable footage at weddings, events, and during documentary filming.
With a payload capacity of 12 lbs, the Helix Jr. is compatible with a wide range of small and mid-size DSLRs and mirrorless cameras from leading brands such as Canon, Panasonic, and Sony. This makes it a versatile choice for photographers and videographers seeking reliable stabilization for their equipment.
The Helix Jr. is intuitive to use, with an eye-level setup that allows for comfortable, all-day use without straining your back. It utilizes the same controller board as the regular Helix, ensuring the same level of quality that has been trusted on numerous reputable production sets.
The Helix Jr. offers unique features such as an optical center and a joystick, enabling you to create distinctive dutch rolling shots that add another dimension to your work. But the possibilities don't stop there. In under three minutes, the Helix Jr. can be converted from handheld mode into aerial mode, allowing you to capture breathtaking shots from the sky.
The Helix Jr. comes equipped with a 2600 mAh Li-ion battery and charger. An optional hard custom foam cut carrying case is available for secure transportation. The Helix Jr. Aluminum shares the same physical design and software as the Helix Jr. Magnesium, with the primary difference being the material. The aluminum version offers a shinier finish and is a more economical option, while still being lighter than many competitor products.
The Helix Jr. also boasts the benefits of encoders, which prevent motors from losing their position, dramatically increase battery life, increase torque for more aggressive panning motions, and allow for physical adjustment of the camera's position.
The patent-pending design balances the camera on its optical center, allowing for nodal point rolls and superior image stabilization. The setup is quick and easy, and changing a lens mid-shoot is a breeze. Unlike other devices on the market, the Helix Jr. is designed for hands, not helicopters, with a flat bottom design that allows you to simply set it down between shots.
In summary, the Helix Jr. Handheld Aluminum Gimbal Stabilizer is a durable, sturdy, and professional tool that offers superior stabilization for a wide range of cameras, making it an essential piece of equipment for any serious photographer or videographer.
