The Tiffen Co. has released the Steadicam Axis, a body-worn stabilizer with integral three-axis Volt stabilization.


With a payload capacity of up to 20 pounds, it is the only complete system offering Steadicam Volt technology for roll, tilt and pan. Building on the Oscar-winning Steadicam design — with its traditional sled, arm and vest — the Steadicam Axis features a stage-mounted control box that powers the electronically assisted three-axis Volt gimbal, facilitating greater and subtler control of framing while still providing the operator with hands-on control of the sled. Three knobs at the top adjust roll, tilt and pan. Alongside them is a fourth knob to set dampening.



Steadicam Axis comes complete with Sled/Volt, A-30 Arm and A-30 Vest and lists for $8,995. It’s available in both Gold and V-mount battery versions.
