Description

NEW Dual Arm - The Aviator's newly-developed dual-dynamic arm system is extremely fluid, lightweight, and solid. It can bear cameras 5-15 pounds swiftly and smoothly and offers up to 38" of vertical travel. Twenty-five precision bearings and four custom-manufactured stainless steel springs ensure silent, zero-failure performance.

NEW No tools required for adjustment - The Aviator sled has been streamlined so that all necessary balance adjustments can be made quickly and easily. The comfortable knurled grip can be twisted to adjust gymbal position and provides precise control over the sled.

NEW FlowTech Gimbal - Classic design has been improved with a contoured, 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 heavy cameras for extended periods.

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 7" 16:9 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.

Low Mode Included - A low mode system for small to medium cameras allows stabilized low perspective shots.

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 Aviator 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. 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.
