The Steadicam ultra-lightweight Arm and Vest is designed to support the Merlin camera stabilizing system. It makes extended shooting effortless with heavy (7.5lbs) cameras.
It’s designed to fit any shape/size and can actually be worn under clothes, including a tux. It has a lifting range of 28” with barely no force necessary. It’s tool free which means it can be adjusted “on the fly”.
It’s been on the market since July and retails for around $2000. That’s a low price for the same performance as the big steadicam rigs.
I got a chance to test it out and play with it a little and the best thing I can think of to describe is that it has liquid motion. The camera really does flow effortlessly at just a touch.
