The STEADICAM® Elite™ is a next-generation lightweight sled designed for operators who need a medium payload capacity, smarter ergonomics, and integrated electronic stabilization control—without stepping into full-size rig territory. Built with a rigid unibody top stage, powered by a 3-Axis Volt™ gimbal, and engineered with broadcast-ready infrastructure, Elite delivers the performance flexibility demanded by today’s hybrid cinema and live-production workflows.
Whether flying compact cinema builds or broadcast configurations, the Elite keeps your workflow lighter, faster, and more responsive on set.
Available as Sled Only without monitor, or as a Turn-Key Kit with our Steadicam G-50X Arm and all new Elite Lightweight Vest, and 7" SDI Monitor.
Key Features:
- Integrated 3-Axis Volt with Pan Control
The Elite transforms stabilization from passive balance into active control assistance, not only helping maintain horizon during long takes and dynamic moves but giving ability to control rotational inertia for ultimate pan stability opening up a whole new world of tracking and whip pans, and long lens work.
- 12V/24V Power Distribution at 8A
Elite supports 12V with Hotswap and 24V selectable power distribution, no external adapters. No compromises. Just plug in and power the build you actually want to fly.
- 30 lb (14kg) Camera Payload Capacity
More payload headroom and fewer compromises when configuring builds. Enables operators to carry production-ready camera packages instead of stripped-down versions.
- Rigid Unibody Top Stage
Strong torsional rigidity reduces vibration transfer allowing increased capacity and strength for a greater variety of builds.
- Fine-Adjust Stage Controls
Side mounting controls for speed and ease of access for precision adjustments.
- Dual Sliding & Pivoting Battery Mounts
Allows for easier dynamic balance and optimal monitor and battery positioning.
- Universal Yoke-Style Monitor Mounts
Supporting a wide range of monitor sizes and viewing configurations for every operator preference, including 9x16 format.
- Ultra Secure Docking Bracket
