Add professional-level stability and smoothness to your videos with this Matrix Sled Pro from SmartSystem. The Matrix Pro sled is designed to stabilize midsize ENG cameras and features a telescoping carbon fiber center post, a fluid gimbal stabilizer sled, a Smarthead non-floating adjustable head, a monitor LCD holder, a dual Gold mount battery plate, an additional Gold mount plate on the bottom for additional power and counterweight, and 10 counterweights.

The Smarthead top plate can adjust for balance and can quickly and cleanly mount and unmount the camera rig. The arm on the center post can mount onto an optional stabilizer arm such as the 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 a docking bracket to dock the sled when it's not in use.

There is a dual Gold 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 Gold mount plate is included on the bottom of the sled for added power as well as counterweight. The Pro model also features counterweights that allow you to add up to 10 included SmartSystem counterweights weighing approximately 8 oz each, so you can balance a heavier rig. The sled can be broken down and stored in the included hard-shell carry case.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I asked this question once before, unfortunately my words appear to be edited. Can these batteries be considered as 'high output' as required for certain lights? What is their amperage?

A: I believe that all Lithium-Ion batteries are considered high output. However, what other manufacturers mean when they say that their equipment needs a high output battery may be different. I can not speak for what others mean when they use this phrase, but my understanding is that the very nature of Lithium-Ion is such that they can be considered high output. - - - - - - - - - - - - Regarding the amperage question, if you divide the Watt-hours (Wh) by the Voltage (V) of the battery, it will give you the Amp-hours (Ah). So, for our 90 Wh batteries, the Ah are just over sixthe actual number I got was 6.081081... - - - Now, this is not the actual amperage, just the amp-hours, but it is as close as I can get. I do not have any amperage ratings for any of our batteries. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 2. Does this battery work with Aladdin Flexi light 1 X1 mat

A: If that light has a V-mount battery connection, then this should work. But because I do not know if that light has any other requirements for power other than a generic V-mount battery, I cannot guarantee if it will work. It might be better to contact Aladdin and find out what batteries are compatible with their light. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 3. Can I use this battery for aputure lightstorm?

A: Yes these batteries can be used on the Aputure Light Storm LS1C or LS 1/2W LED panels which have a V mount interface.

Q: 4. What are the differences between pro and regular models of this light?

A: Nothing, one unit is gold and the other is a v-mount system. Both lights operate the same way.

Q: 5. Will there be or is there currently a longer header/power cable from the lamp head to the distro box?

A: Currently the Extension cable is not available yet please check with us in 4-6 weeks

Q: 6. What is the average lifespan for an LED light such as this?

A: On an LED light such as the Aputure LS 600d Pro Daylight LED Monolight (V-Mount), you should get over 50,000 hours of reliable usage. After that amount of usage, the manufacturer can no longer guarantee accurate color temperature. Therefore, if the light is still working, you may have to begin using a color correction filter kit to correct for the color shifting that would have occurred.

Q: 7. I assume this does not come with a case. What size case is needed to accommodate both batteries, the charger and cables?

A: A medium flip top storage box holds 2 folding LED instruments with doors, 2 batteries & charger.

Q: 8. Can someone let us know whether this, and any of the other Aputure lights, have been tested or approved for high speed, 1000fps+ shooting?

A: This will do High Speed sync over 1000fps+ here is a link of tests done on previous models. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi4gpI41C10

Q: 9. Does it need two gold mount batteries to work or can you have one battery to work?

A: Yes, both batteries are required for the Aputure LS 600d Pro Daylight LED Monolight (Gold Mount).

Q: 10. How does the size and weight of this unit compare to the 300D?

A: The 600D Head only weights 9.48lbs without the power supply. the shipping weight is approximately 17lbs more then the 300D
