The Iso-Elastic Arm features a 2-section, articulated, no-tools design that can be adjusted while supporting the camera. With this design, a STEADICAM operator can smoothly and effortlessly raise or lower the arm throughout its 28" (71cm) boom range. The Iso-Elastic arm is also non-reactive, thus improving vertical stability and control in all operating conditions from lock-offs to fast running shots over rough terrain.

The an expandable carbon fiber post and interface to the stage form a solid bond to assure no jitter in pictures as the operator captures those unique scenes. The stage plate is indexed so that the camera can be removed and remounted without the need to readjust the balance.
The sled boasts a 3-axis gimbal and is equipped with counterweights for balance and positionable monitor, gimbal, and battery mounts. Counterweights are provided for balance. The lightweight sled compacts down when the lower cross tube is removed.
