artemis Handheld Camera stabilizer system
Sachtler, a Vitec Group brand, announces the artemis Handheld camera stabilizer system, specifically for use with video-enabled DSLR cameras. This professional system facilitates smooth, stable moves and enables wobble-free shooting.
With the artemis Handheld, the operator may perform smooth professional moves by holding the system in one hand via the ergonomic handgrip. The handgrip is designed to enable fluid camera work.
The artemis Handheld has a low dead-weight of just 2.2 lbs (1kg). In addition to supporting video-enabled DSLR cameras it works beautifully with lightweight HDV camcorders.
Perfect Balance – fine counterbalance adjustment
Designed in the shape of a bow, the Handheld’s segments are machined out of a single part, to promote outstanding stability, torsional strength and to prevent vibration during the shot. The handgrip, monitor mount and counter weights can be individually positioned. The artemis Handheld features innovative “perfect balance” technology, thus enabling fine counterbalance adjustment. Any popular TTF monitor can be connected to the monitor mount, which can be freely positioned, thus enabling further shooting control. The artemis Handheld camera plate is compatible with Sachtler FSB fluid heads, ensuring fast change over from the tripod to the artemis Handheld.
The artemis Handheld compactly transports in a convenient case which includes a stand and counter-balance weights.
