Beholder Ec1 Camera Stabilizer Price

I bought the GM4562 monopod to use as an arm for the Ikan Ec1 beholder video stabilizer. The build is so solid, I have full confidence using the monopod fully extended with the gimbal hanging off the end. Even over the ocean. Because I travel a lot, the size and weight are also very convenient.

At the end of a lone chain of things that could go wrong: Clients needs, art in the eye of the beholder, camera function, PC making the best re- touch...then..will the printer have the right inks? is the one very consistent thing..the PGPP Its great paper.

The stabilizer on the market with such a good price and work the way I want it.

I've recently upgraded gear to UHD. I bought a Canon CX15 and mounted it (with the lens hood) on the EC1. Either my years of experience with a full glidecam sled and rig made it easier, or maybe the CX15 is a remarkably well-balanced camera, but balancing the CX15 on the EC1 took 11 minutes. I'm significantly faster now (5 minutes if I have to swap baseplates). The EC1 hums to life and then seems to do nothing. Like any gimbel the unnatural stability is one thing seeing it in action. The proof is when you ingest the footage and look at 4K in what is ultimately a smooth faux drone shot...high to low on a residental street. My usual setup has quickly become putting the camera on the EC1 and then the EC1 on a monopod. Boom shots, pulls, sweeping cranes, it's all just your imagination away from a seriously cinematic look. As others have mentioned, the EC1 has its limitations - you'll want to keep your camera free of any extra bits and bobs. Audio will need to be recorded on a separate device since the clearances (especially for DSLRs) can be tight. It includes a functional case and strap, three batteries (it uses 3x 18650 type), charger, small screwdriver, baseplate and instructions. B&H includes three more batteries. That's fantastic, because the batteries last a long time. The weight is comfortable, my rig is basically 4lbs with CX15 and EC1. It's comfortable, the EC1 is easy to put down anywhere. While it's managable with one hand, I prefer two (to take advantage of the joystick). So far no issues. I've put it in the position where I've confused it. I just hit the mode button 5 times and it resets itself. If it's still struggling, I just power down, reboot, no problem. Love it. It's a regular part of my field kit now. As an aside, this would be a riot to try out on a tippy fishing boat. Your shots would be more stable than you.

I use a NikonD200 with a Neoprene neck strap and the neoprene, flexible Stabilizer Strap (Op/Tech USA) around my chest when camera is not in use. The stabilizer precents the camera swaying when I am running, climbing, or otherwise active, even getting out of crowded vehicles. The stbilizer prevents the strap from impacting anything like branches, rock walls, furniture, or the person in the seat ahead of me. It permits the camera to instantly slip out of the stabilizer, leaving the strap in position./ The strap length is adjustable to fit over a bulky jacket or vest, and the snap-on ends make it easy to fit.The central lens opening can be enlarged to fit extremely wide diameter lenses. I canot imagine how it could be improved.

I have 3 of these on different plates and such to keep from having to remove the camera from the stabilizer, they are indispensable.

Loved these bars and made it possible to shoot with my ninja flame on my beholder.

works well with sony A7sii and beholder DS1 gimbal

This Stabilizer is the best! Thanks!

Amazing Stabilizer!
