Review Summary
• The new dual-arm stabilizer represents the culmination of years of refinement and development. With an impressive and unique array of standard features, the Aviator is the ultimate system for professional cameras 5-15lbs.
• The Aviator's newly-developed dual-dynamic arm system is extremely stiff, fluid, and lightweight. It can bear cameras 5-15 pounds swiftly and smoothly and offers up to 38" of vertical travel. Twenty-five precision bearings and four custom-manufactured stainless steel springs ensure silent, zero-failure performance.
• Classic design has been improved with a detachable, ergonomically-sloped extension grip for improved handling and the ability to add a zoom control. Precision 3-axis gimbal delivers consistent fluid motion with six sets of bearings. The lightweight, rugged gimbal ties the system together effortlessly.
• The new improved vest includes a contoured chest pad, torso-gripping 4-point buckle system, and height-adjustable chest plate. The lightweight, cool vest hugs and supports the upper body, making it possible to fly heavy cameras for extended periods. Micro-adjustable gear drive stage enables extremely precise tuning of horizontal balance. Quick-release dovetail camera plate allows rapid setup and breakdown in the field.
• At the base of the sled, a 7" 16:9 NTSC/PAL color monitor serves as a large external viewfinder. A proprietary Li-Ion battery with LED capacity indicator is standard (V-lock, AB, NP1 mounts available on request at no extra charge). The monitor and batteries serve as counterweight for vertical balance and their positions can be adjusted for fine-tuning.
