The Steadicam Axis is the first Steadicam system to offer Volt technology for roll, tilt, and pan axes, providing increased stability and control. This Emmy® Award-winning Volt™ electronically assisted, 3-axis camera stabilizer enables the operator to directly control the framing of the shot without feeling disconnected from the camera. Operators can create dynamic camera movements with faster setup times, greater range of movement, and a shallower learning curve than earlier electronic gimbal systems. Time-saving features also include absolute encoding for the pan axis and the lack of a need to realign the sled upon startup. The Axis supports up to 20 lb loads when used with the included A-30 arm and A-30 vest.

Getting Started With The NEW Steadicam® Axis™

An all-new electronically assisted camera stabilizer incorporating the patented Steadicam® Volt™ technology, augmented with a third pan motor for even more precise camera control.

"For the first time we have a small rig that can truly rival the stability of a full high end system. With NEW Axis we can now make this stability happen electronically, without having to lug around all that heavy metal. This allows us to operate longer with less weight, without sacrifice."
