Steady-Flex

The SCREEN PLANE STEADY-FLEX rig is extremely compact and lightweight and therefore ideal as a small production rig as well as for steadycam or hand-held shots or for macro photography.
It is designed for compact production cameras such as Epic, SI-2K, Scarlet, upcoming SLRs and others.

A carbon fiber support bracket guarantees excellent stiffness combined with a maximum in weight reduction.

The Steady-Flex is available for sales and rentals from camadeus Film Technologies, Inc.
