The Helix 3-Axis Camera Stabilizer (Magnesium) from Letus35 stabilizes cameras weighting up to 16 lb in three axes with its brushless gimbals. The Helix is a powered stabilizer that features a modular design with a removable platform for each of the three axes: roll, pan, and tilt. The modular design allows you to quickly turn your three-axis stabilizer into a one-axis stabilizer. This configuration includes Bluetooth and RC modules. The RC module provides remote control of the pan and tilt functions by a second camera operator, while the Bluetooth module allows you to setup your Helix using an Android device running the BaseCam app, or using a laptop with the BaseCam desktop software.

The Helix balances around the optical center of your camera, reducing stress on the system and your camera's image stabilization system and it also allows nodal camera rolls. The flat bottom design of the Helix allows you to place it down on a flat surface without requiring a stand mount or other support. It incorporates a cold shoe and 1/4"-20 accessory mounting points on the unit and handgrips. The Helix is designed to stabilize your camera while hand-holding the unit; however, with an optional 4th axis, you can also mount the Helix to third party stabilizing systems.

The Helix is designed to balance and stabilize around the optical center of your camera/lens combination, allowing you to do nodal point rolls.

As the image sensor movement is reduced significantly compared to off-center stabilizers, image stabilization is improved.

Compatible with Sony a7S and other cameras weighing up to 16 lb.

Bluetooth and RC modules provide control of the stabilizer's pan and tilt functions by a second operator

Bluetooth module gives you the ability to connect the Helix to your computer wirelessly, as well as use the BaseCam app to interact with the Helix via an Android device.

You can support the Helix system by holding onto it with two hands; the right handgrip allows you to tilt the Helix, while the left handgrip rotates freely.

Each axis platform of the system allows balance adjustment that reduces operating stress on the unit and the operator, and is indexed in millimeters allowing quick re-sets when switching between lenses.

Re-balancing the Helix after a lens change can be achieved by sliding a single axis forward or back.

Use one axis on top of an optional arm/vest type stabilizer for an auto-horizon solution with an optional 4th axis, or switch to a three-axis setup to go full handheld.

Electrical parts are protected from reverse polarity, overheating, and over-current conditions.

USB interface allows for configuration, control, and firmware upgrades.
