About Letus Helix Jr. Handheld-Mode Camera Stabilizer, Aluminum

Find the perfect balance between durability and functionality with the Helix Jr. Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer with Encoded Motors. This robust and high-quality gimbal stabilizer is specifically designed for cinematography, offering a unique design that sets it apart from other gimbals on the market. Unlike traditional gimbals that simply attach a handle to a copter gimbal system, the Helix Jr. is engineered from the ground up to provide superior stabilization for DSLR and mirrorless cameras, including popular models like the Panasonic GH3 and GH4.

The Helix Jr. boasts an optically-centered design that minimizes sensor movement, thereby avoiding the robotic look often associated with other gimbals. This feature ensures smooth, natural-looking footage every time. The design also places your hands at lens level, reducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions and providing a more intuitive filming experience.

Balancing your camera on the Helix Jr. is a breeze, thanks to its quick balancing feature. Each axis can be balanced individually, making lens changes and adjustments simpler and more efficient. The optical center design further facilitates easy lens changes with just a simple adjustment of a single axis.

The flat-bottom design of the Helix Jr. is another standout feature, allowing you to conveniently place the gimbal down between shots without the need for a stand. The right handle of the gimbal doubles as a joystick, enabling you to tilt the camera up and down with ease. This intuitive tilt handle is a favorite feature among users.

Transitioning from eye-level to low mode is seamless with the Helix Jr.'s suitcase mode. Simply let go of the left handle to smoothly switch modes. The absolute encoders prevent motors from losing their position during a bump, improving stabilization precision. You can also adjust the Dutch angle within a second by holding at the desired angle.

Please note that the Helix Jr. is wired according to US standards, with the red pin indicating Positive (+). Ensure any third-party power accessories used are compatible. With its sturdy, reliable, and high-quality design, the Helix Jr. Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer with Encoded Motors is the ideal choice for professional videographers and filmmakers.
