VariZoom Prolite Review by P3Update Magazine

David Hurd, with P3Update. "Test Drive" - "Always, I have firmly believed in using the right tool for the job. Recently, a director sent me the shot list for an upcoming video shoot.

From the moment I opened the custom fitted rolling case I knew I had made the right decision.

Dual Articulated Arm - The dual arm system is lightweight and highly dynamic. It can bear cameras 2-12 pounds swiftly and smoothly and offers up to 38" of vertical travel. Twenty-two precision bearings and four springs ensure silent, zero-failure performance.

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 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.

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 ProLite 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.
