If you are unfamiliar with camera stabilizers, the EZ-Steady is a way to get really smooth camera motions without having to use a large rig. It is a simple, hand held device that eliminates camera shake and gives the footage a feeling of flying.
What's so cool and different about it?
Most camera stabilizers take a long time to balance your camera when you're first learning. With the simple stage system, it can take as little as 5 minutes.
Another great feature of the EZ-Steady is that there are many points of contact that allow you to control where you're pointing the camera. Use one hand or both, each option has muiltiple flying positions.
Also, the precision machined gimbal allows amazing range of motion for running or low to the ground shots. The weights shown in the picture below are easily adjustable. They allow you to remove counterweights without having to completely unscrew the weight pack from the stabilizer arm. This makes for quick adjustments on the fly if you're changing lenses or cameras.
The EZ-Steady is also extremely compact. This enables you to get low to the ground shots or fit into tight places when filming. It packs away easily for travel and you can even detach the weight arm if needed.
