Introcucing "The SteadiHand Shooter"

Made by a DSLR cinematographer, for a DSLR cinematographer

(patented design)

Let me guess, you love your Canon 5D Mark II, 7D, or D1 Mark IV, yet your shots look like a home videographer shot them because they bounce, teeter-totter, shake, rattle and roll!, and thier basically all over the place.

Don't feel bad. These cameras are hard to handhold . . . until now. Don't fall into the category that 99.9% of Canon DSLR shooters have fallen under. Get the money shots each and everytime without dropping a fortune on a rig that has cool colors, pretty girls in advertisments, and ends up teeter-totting and doesn''t really work. Our units are field tested by real cinematographers working in the same conditions you are working in.

Our units are custom made. We have no immediate plans for mass production. We came up with the idea for our video cameras years ago and after seeing what is on the market today we could not sit still. Everything out there, no matter how nice they look are ineffective in our opinion. They can hurt your arm, put weight on your elbow and still leave you with rocking and bouncing shots.

This baby works! Stills or Video, the harder you pull it to you, the steadier you are. You can use it with a monopod and belt pouch for maximum stabilization or use it as is. You can use it with a follow focus unit or use the supplied handle and focus with your finger tips. Our unit is designed to fit in your palm, leaving your fingers FREE to focus.

You do not have to shoot at your shoulder, you can cradle this unit, shoot machine gun style, even get those high shots or low shots. This is absolutely the most effective device ever concieved, and not nearly as costly as other units that don't work well.

Our unit is a perfect example of "less is more".
Sure others have attempted to copy us, make systems that look cool, but in the end, nothing works like ours. Notice how other companies rushed to add 3 point stability and made smaller rails. The fact is, we don't use rails, no run and gun operatorr needs them, and most popular lenses fit within millemteres of where our gears are seated, and you can adjust the gears to fit those guidelines.

We realized that rails are bad, they stick out, look terrible during a wedding or event, they add weight, they run into people, snag things, increase your liability, and make the balance awkward and can pull on your back. We discovered they are just not needed and the most popular lens for handheld DSLR shooting have the focus wheel in the same place when attached to these cameras.

Most popular Canon Lens work without any tools or modifications and the follow focus is optional. The way our unit sits in the palm of your hand, your fingers are basically just as effective. Just add our included side handle where the focus would be, its a no brainer.

Now if you want one system that fits all lenses, then you have sacrifice everything to accomodate one or two lenses you might never use hand held. In order to fit all lenses, you might need rails, which defeats the purpose of being small, lightweight, and being able to run and gun all day. Our system is designed for the educated shooter, one that knows a Canon f/4.0 24mm-105mm, Canon f/2.8 16mm-35mm, Canon f/3.5-5.6 28mm-135mm or similar lens is what they use when hand held. We even tested it with our Tamron f/3.5-6.3 28mm-300mm lens and it matches up perfectly. If your shooting a Canon f/2.8 70mm-200mm lens and want to shoot handheld, then our rig is perfect, but if you want to use the follow focus a slight mod is needed.

If you want to get a shot and make it look like your on a tripod or steadicam, and if you want to follow the action and stay in focus like never before, then this is the only item you need in your run bag for Canon DSLR cameras. We have not tested it on other brands, but it should work fine. It also collapses into pieces, making it very small for packing. Try that with a $2000+ rig!

Our price to you . . . . $750 including follow focus
