Camera Rig News

Tiffen has announced the award-winning Steadicam SOLO camera stabilizer has officially gone on sale. Made for use with both DSLRs and camcorders, the SOLO can be used handheld, as a monopod, or with a Steadicam arm and vest.

Its sleek and lightweight frame makes it an ideal stabilizer for DSLR videography, and its durability matches that of the larger, pro-grade Steadicam models.

Capable of being folded to a compact 25x6-inch profile, the system supports cameras weighing up to 10 lbs. The closely engineered 3-axis gimbal design enables the most precise movements and incomparable stability demanded by pro operators, while the ergonomic foam handle and grips—which control the 4-section telescopic post—provide a high level of comfort during the most challenging of operations. Bringing versatility to the set, the SOLO converts to Monopod mode for shooting from confined spaces.

Other features include a quick-release camera mounting plate, push-on lock, push button release, positive positioning clamping, standard ¼-20 and ⅜-16 camera mounting, and simple dual knob fore-aft vernier adjustment.

The Steadicam SOLO is available as an upgradeable hand-held camera stabilizer or as a complete system with sled, arm and vest.

The SOLO is now available for  $499.
