Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A superbly versatile option for DV cameras, the FlowPod functions as a fluid handheld stabilizer, a rock-solid monopod, or a gliding low-mode tool, making it a favorite of everyone from filmmakers to wedding and event videographers. The unit sports a proprietary handle and gimbal design that can either be unlocked as a fluid gimbal for floating stabilizer shots or locked inline for stationary monopod shots. As a result, it's easy to perform fluid turns, pans, and tilts in stabilizer mode or capture rock- solid fixed shots in monopod mode. The slim design and narrow base, meanwhile, let the shooter hold the FlowPod close to the body, relieving stress and enabling tight maneuvers in the most varied circumstances. Add in the included low flow kit--which enables gliding low-perspective shots while also letting you connect to a TFT monitor for easier viewing--and you're ready for virtually any filming scenario.
