It enables you to offer the type of professional shooting techniques that were only previously available to clients with full budgets. Whether you are shooting commercials, industrials, documentaries, music videos, news, or full-length motion pictures, the Glidecam V-16 will take you where few others have traveled.Support VestThe lightweight and comfortable Support Vest can be adjusted to fit a wide range of operators. High endurance, closed cell, EVA foam padding and integral T6 aluminum alloy, creates a vest which can hold and evenly distribute the weight of the Glidecam V-16 system across the operator's shoulders, back and hips. For safety, quick-release high impact buckles allow the vest to be removed quickly. Three-Axis GimbalA free floating, precision Gimbal, incorporating integrally shielded bearings, creates the super-smooth and pivotal connections between the front end of the Dyna-Elastic Arm and the Camera Mounting Assembly. The Three-Axis Gimbal provides the operator with fingertip control over fluid tilting, panning and rolling. A locking mechanism allows the Gimbal to be placed at varying positions on the central support post. Moving the Gimbal effectively adjusts the system's center of gravity. The upper portion of the Sled's central support post includes guide markings. These markings allow for accurate Gimbal positioning. Dyna-Elastic ArmThe Exoskeletal, Dyna-Elastic Support Arm is designed to counteract the weight of the combined camera and Camera Mounting Assembly by employing high carbon alloy springs. The arm may be boomed up and down, as well as pivoted in and out and side to side. It is the combined booming and pivoting action of the arm, which creates the shock absorption necessary for ultra-smooth camera movement and mobility. The spring force is field-adjustable to allow for varying camera weights. For safety, a dual-spring design is employed to reduce spring failure damage. Base Platform (Sled)The rugged and adjustable Camera Mounting Assembly (the Sled) is designed with a lower telescoping center post which allows for vertical balance adjustment, as well as varying lens heights. The center post can be adjusted from 22" to 32". The Camera Mounting Platform (or x-y motion table) moves back and forth and side to side to allow adjustment of the system's horizontal balance. The Camera Plate has both 1/4" and 3/8" mounting slots (holes) to accommodate a variety of camera bases. The Base Platform can be configured to use counterbalance weight disks (included) in the event that you choose not to use a monitor and/or a battery on the base as counterbalance. The back of the Base Platform has threaded mounting holes for an Anton Bauer Gold Mount battery plate. A variety of other mounting holes is supplied on the base to allow easy customizing of the base to suit your needs.Comes with a Gold mount Anton Bauer HYTRON 140 Battery ( Needs to be recelled)
