The SteadyTracker Extreme gives you the ability to shoot subject matter that is impossible to shoot otherwise. Take amazing footage as you walk, run, travel upstairs, or even out of a moving car. Expand the creativity of your production by engaging the viewers when making them a part of the action.
The competition can fly, pan, boom, and tilt but there is no control of the device during these moves. This is what sets the SteadyTracker apart from the others, with the SteadyTracker you can accelerate and decelerate when panning, quickly start/stop, reverse directions while flying, tilt smoothly at the start or end of a boom, or dutch off the axis during a flying move.
Top Ten Reason to Purchase a SteadyTracker
1) Dreamy floating motion shots opens up a new dimension of shooting style. High impact, dramatic, and artistic results always get comments. The 3-axis balance, extended mass, and inertia, takes out unprofessional camera shakes, bumps and wobbles without taking away control. (Balance means nothing without control.). Lets you smoothly move the camera, just like they do in feature films.
2) Easiest to set up With the twist of one knob the camera is on or off the top of the SteadyTracker. Optional universal stage mounts to tripod.
3) Easiest to Balance Uses sliding adjustments, no weights to mess with. Also easiest to rebalance after adding or removing accessories.
4) Easiest to use Less than 5 second learning curve. Its kind of like aiming a gun, it shoots where you point it, and it stays there without wandering off on its own. It takes less than 7 minutes to set-up, balance and use! (Proven on the included video tape)
5) True One Handed Operation You can even change hands for some really long shots. It has the lowest wrist torque- so no cumbersome wrist supports or body vests are necessary. We will never sell a support vest because of their complexity for set up, balance, use, training requirements, limited performance, lower back and leg strain issues.
6) Most versatile a) Hand held motion machine, level or at angles, even upside down. b) Body supported on leg, or against your body for static shooting, ready to go into motion. c) High shoulder mounted shots- even imitates some crane type shots. d) Monopod positioning on floor, chairs, tables or cabinets. Pans and tilts from a static position. e) Tripod mode for locked off shots. You can also leave the camera on the SteadyTracker for a convenient place to work the camera while editing or digitizing. 7) Best Design - SteadyTracker Rated 1 by a panel of reviewers at Video Pro Magazine. Aircraft quality all aluminum construction for years of dependable day to day use. Entire unit breaks down to a 24 x 6 x 4 inch package for travel. SteadyTracker Xtreme includes a mount to add accessories, a leveling leg feature in the tripod mode, three year guarantee and may be ordered with a non-dedicated color LCD monitor. Designed and refined by actual "Professional Video Cameramen". 8) 7 minutes or less "set-up, balance, and use guarantee." Balance is so simple that the two step instructions are printed right on the device. Video shows set-up in under three minutes. 9) The most awesome performance. Produces the most dramatic motion shots. Run faster, tilt and Dutch smoother, start and stop quicker. CGX technology yields the least horizon rocking (seasick effect) You can jump off walls, go up and down stairs or over rough terrain, even walk over picnic tables. Works in the wind, or with dangling cables. Optional low cage with tilt feature is available. To sum it up, "Makes my work look more professional and less home made".
