I'm super happy with the new Pro 2 model. The footage is now 30% smoother than the original Pro 1 model!

I've made a number of videos on the stabilizer below;-

Note: this is for the Compact Pro but for the most part it's identical.

The dreaded 'gimbal bob' will be a thing of the past with the silky smooth footage you'll get with the new full size Pro 2 Model 4th Axis Camera Stabilizer!

On the outside it’s got the same Pro 1 looks but that’s where the comparison ends. Every part has been tweaked and re-designed to squeeze every last bit of silky smooth goodness out of it.

The major changes in the new Pro 2 model are:-

• It now floats effortlessly on 18 high quality bearings
• The fluid damping has now gone crazy smooth with the addition of a new high tech synthetic damping gel
• The geometry has been further tweaked for even softer load support

I think the biggest thing for me is that I can take everything I need for a shoot, lights, audio recorder and field monitor and it all fits in a backpack so there’s no need for an assistant and with my Zhiyun Remote mounted in the optional handle I can do away with a tripod and slider. But the real biggie is that you’ll be hard pressed to see the difference between footage shot on the new Pro 2 rig and the footage shot on a system totalling many thousands.

Some other important features;-

• It’s built extra tough for the rigours of Pro use
• It now includes a built in stand so you can rest your arms between takes
• It’s adaptable with an ever growing eco-system of add ons for individualizing your rig
• It’s been designed to be quiet so your audio won’t be ruined by the creaks and squeaks that those cheap Z stabilizers have.
• And you don’t need a 10 pound padded shipping case to move it around. It all fits in a backpack!
• You can leave the tools at home with tool-less adjustments in only seconds, not minutes
• Pros can attach everything they need to your rig with 12 attachment points
• And there’s 3 load springs to choose from for payloads from 2 to 10 pounds (0.9 to 4.5kg)
• Dual independent adjustable fluid damping - from hard action to soft shots
• Dual independent load adjusters to adapt to your rig
• Adjust in seconds from high shot to upright to mid height to briefcase mode
• Get buttery smooth footage with ease
