Varizoom VZ-PROLITE
Dual-Arm Camera Stabilizer, 2-12 lbs.

VZ-PROLITE

This dual-arm system for cameras 2-12lbs. provides improved shock-absorption, control, and range of motion. The custom Li-Ion battery system, superior arm dynamics and low price make the ProLite the stabilizer of choice for DV/HDV cameras.

NEW FlowTech Gimbal - Classic design has been improved with a detachable, ergonomically-sloped extension grip for improved handling and the ability to add a zoom control. Precision 3-axis gimbal delivers consistent fluid motion with six sets of bearings. The lightweight, rugged gimbal ties the system together effortlessly.

NEW Form-Fit Vest - This new improved vest includes a contoured chest pad, torso-gripping 4-point buckle system, and height-adjustable chest plate. The lightweight, cool vest hugs and supports the upper body, making it possible to fly cameras for extended periods.

Dual Articulated Arm - The dual arm system is lightweight and highly dynamic. It can bear cameras 2-12 pounds swiftly and smoothly and offers up to 38" of vertical travel. Twenty-two precision bearings and four springs ensure silent, zero-failure performance.

Precision Gear Drive Stage - Micro-adjustable gear drive stage enables extremely precise tuning of horizontal balance. Quick-release dovetail camera plate allows rapid setup and breakdown in the field.

Power, Vision, Balance - At the base of the sled, a 5.6" 4:3 NTSC/PAL color monitor serves as a large external viewfinder. A proprietary Li-Ion battery w/ LED capacity indicator is standard (V-lock, AB, NP1 mounts available on request at no extra charge). The monitor and batteries serve as counterweight for vertical balance and their positions can be adjusted for fine-tuning.

Custom Rolling Case - A form-cut foam insert protects and secures the system components inside, while the wheeled case with telescoping handle ensures effortless transport. Padded carry pouches hold the toolkit, cables, monitor, and training DVD.

Training DVD - VariZoom stabilizers take some time to master, but the included training DVD takes you through the setup and operation step-by-step with a professional FlowCam operator.

Options - The ProLite comes standard with a sophisticated Li-Ion battery system, but if you prefer to use your own V-lock, Anton Bauer, or NP1 battery, we can substitute the appropriate mount at no extra charge. The ProLite comes standard with a 5.6" 4:3 monitor, but you can upgrade to the 7" 16:9 monitor for only $100 (special request). If you have any other special requests, then give us a call and we'll be glad to discuss your needs. Because these units are hand crafted and assembled, the options are wide open.
