About Steadicam Zephyr-V System

A innovative approach to camera stabilizer design, the Steadicam Zephyr has a host of "future proof" features that allow it to be a versatile and an ever-evolving essential tool for camera stabilization needs. The Zephyr vest design incorporates adjustable and pivoting shoulder buckles to assure a new comfort level for extended use. Vest and pad covers are easily removed for cleaning or replacement offering extended durability.

The new tools-free patented Iso-Elastic stabilizer Zephyr Arm has been upgraded from the Steadicam FLYER and supports 23lbs (10.4kg) of payload weight. The no-tools Arm /Vest interface allows for quick customization to the individual operator. "On the fly" weight adjustment frees the operator from dismounting the system to make changes. The open design of the arm has freedom of movement unknown in this weight class. The Zephyr adjustable and interchangeable arm post assembly is a feature usually found on more expensive systems.

The new Steadicam Zephyr comes standard with a 7", 16:9/4:3 composite NTSC/PAL LCD monitor, or optional 7" 16:9/4:3 HD/composite LCD monitor that features enhanced image quality and a wide viewing angle, even under bright sunlight making it ideal for field production use. Input configurations include: Analog NTSC/PAL Composite/S-Video/Component/RGB and HD/SDSDI (SMPTE-274M, 296M, 260M, 125M) with active loop through.

The Zephyr Sled Base features extendable rigid aluminum monitor and battery mounting rods, easily removable for compact storage or transport. A single mounting rod release allows for quick set-ups and ease of dynamic and inertial adjustments.
