SteadiCam Steadicam Steadimate System with A-30 Arm and Zephyr Vest Kit

The SDM-30 is a Steadimate System that includes the A-30 Arm and Zephyr Vest. The Steadicam Steadimate is a brilliant device that allows operators to attach a Steadicam arm and vest to motorized gimbal stabilizers including the DJI Ronin and Freefly MVI. Simply swap out one of the handles of your motorized gimbal and replace it with the Steadimate. From there, the Steadimate serves as the handle of your motorized gimbal, but now advantageously equipped with an arm post for attaching a stabilizing arm. Why put an arm and vest on a motorized gimbal? There are two major benefits: Adapting your motorized gimbal with an arm and vest turns your motorized gimbal into a body-worn stabilizer, meaning the operating load is taken off the arms of the operator allowing for longer durations of stable handheld video shooting. And increased stability in footage; the Steadimate gimbal adapter provides tilt axis stabilization, as well as z-axis stabilization from the Steadicam Arm. In a nutshell, the Steadimate Adapter easily transforms motorized gimbals into professional video stabilization camera rigs.
