Add professional-level stability and smoothness to your videos with this Matrix Sled Ultra Lite from SmartSystem. The Matrix Sled Ultra Lite is a midrange camera stabilizer sled, falling between the Sled Extreme and the R2 Lite sled in its features, designed to stabilize heavy standard camera rigs or rigs supported by the DJI Ronin 2 gimbal stabilizer. It features a telescoping carbon fiber center post, a fluid gimbal stabilizer sled, a micrometric adjustable head, a Ronin 2 plate adapter, a Ronin 2 battery holder, a Ronin 2 yaw lock, an R2 counterweight plate, 10 R2 counterweights, 10 battery plate counterweights, a monitor LCD holder, a dual V-mount battery plate, an additional V-mount plate on the bottom for additional power and counterweights, and a hard case.

The micrometric top mount can adjust for balance and can quickly and cleanly mount and unmount the camera rig, and it allows you to mount the DJI Ronin 2 with the included mounting bracket. You can also mount your Ronin 2 battery and lock the yaw on the gimbal using the included brackets. The arm on the center post can mount onto an optional stabilizer arm such as the optional ARM X1 or X-LITE, which transfers the weight from your arm to your hips for comfort during long shooting days. The carbon fiber center post is height adjustable for working in a variety of production environments. The sled also features an extended docking bracket to dock the sled when it's not in use.

There is a V-mount battery plate on the bottom sled that runs power up through the center column to the head, which features three outputs with different pinouts and voltages for output to a variety of cameras and accessories. Connectors include 14.8 VDC 2- and 4-pin LEMO type outputs, as well as tally and BNC video input/output options to pass from the camera to your monitor.

An additional third V-mount plate is included on the bottom of the sled for added power, as well as adding up to 10 included SmartSystem counterweights weighing approximately 8 oz each, so you can balance a heavier rig. There is also an R2 counterweight plate with 10 counterweights to offset the weight of a Ronin 2 rig if using the R2 configuration.

The sled can be broken down and stored in the included hard-shell carry case.
