The Iso-Elastic arm is a two-section, articulated, design that can be adjusted while supporting the camera. The Steadicam operator can smoothly and effortlessly raise or lower the arm throughout its 28" boom range. The Iso-Elastic arm is also non-reactive, improving vertical stability and control in all operating conditions from lock-offs to fast running shots over rough terrain. The 3.5" LCD monitor is standard and provides good contrast from dark to light situations. Utilizing a proven Low Mass Gimbal the operator has the ability to capture the fluid movement that only Steadicam can provide.

The Carbonlite expandable post and Interface to the stage form a solid bond to assure no jitter in the picture as the operator captures those unique scenes.
