Introducing the Steadicam Axis - New Professional Steadicam ® with 3-Axis Volt™ Stabilization

Watch and Listen as Neal Bryant, SOC takes us through this brand new Steadicam System - The Steadicam Axis.
The new 3-Axis electronically assisted camera stabilizer incorporating the patented Steadicam Volt technology, augmented with a third pan motor for even more precise camera control. 3-axis assisted stabilization allows the operator to directly control the framing of the shot without feeling disconnected from the camera like in other fly by wire systems.
Shallow learning curve for achieving high quality camera movement, with faster set up times and greater range of movement over current electronic gimbal systems.
With a payload capacity of up to 20 lbs (9kg) when paired with a Steadicam A-30 Arm & Vest, the Steadicam Axis will take you to a new level of achieving cinema quality shots at an affordable price.

I rubbed my eyes when I saw the price - immediate buy!

[@tinot5093]

Mark my word: Insta360 and/or DJI are already thinking of putting up their own competing product vs this amazing steadicam

[@12yfilms]

I can't believe it's less than 9k! As I was watching this I asked my wife if we had 50k laying around. This is an amazing deal for the price. At first, I thought the electronic gimbal thing was 9k. You're actually getting the entire kit, vest, arm, and includes the DOCK! The dock is an extra accessory that any other company would have charged $500 for.

ohh when you thought it couldn't get any better, incredible!!

[@lpulicam]

I look forward to trying it in a few weeks .I know it is a game changer for the smaller rigs users .Well done Tiffen again .

[@AltrrrraPawa]

Only one question, what plays a part in the payload capacity? Can I go with a heavier setup if I had a stronger arm? Or is it going to overload and burn the Volt? Thanks.

[@arnaldostudio]

THIS IS THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION! @tiffencompany ?

[@HalfAsianSensation]

In my experience, the Volt is mostly dealing with inertia rather than with weight because the Volt is at the neutral point of the sled. The weight is more of a concern with the sleds balancing. Due to its lightweight design even if you placed a huge camera on the top stage it would still need a fair amount of weight on the bottom as well to balance out the sled to get the gimbal to be at the neutral point. And that potentially would be pushing the payload of sled itself. Hope that helps.

[@AltrrrraPawa]

@@HalfAsianSensation That's very helpful and thanks for your input!

[@SluTubeTV]

Must buy 👌🏾

[@zanin.lindsay]

When you say the weight capacity is 20lbs, are you just referring to the arm/vest that supports the sled? Or are you also referring to strength of the 3-axis motors within the Steadicam Axis' Volt? Can someone realistically keep this setup for bigger cameras and just upgrade to a larger weight capacity arm/vest?

[@techwitheds]

I already have a zephyr. I wonder if it's possible to upgrade or can I buy the sled separately ?

[@ChampagneSocialist]

Awesome upgrade to my Zephyr

[@justme_brentg]

Great work!

[@krisgrindheim]

Amazing! Would it handle bigger payloads/cameras with a stronger arm? Is there an option to buy it with a stronger arm?

[@dylanholmes3067]

Not unsure if they are all cross compatible but they sell arms and other full rigs that work with heavier cameras. This new product is meant to hit another price point and they didn't offer before. This one is around 8k I think they have different systems ranging form 3k to 30k.

[@krisgrindheim]

⁠​⁠@@dylanholmes3067yes, they have bigger rigs to handle huge cameras. Im wondering if this rig could handle lets say 40lbs (30lbs camera/battery) if the arm was upgraded. To me that would make a huge difference. 20lbs feels just a bit too low for camera/battery. So basically what i am asking is if the gimbal, post and west can handle more than 30lbs and is there a compatible stronger arm?

[@EasttSideCustomZ]

@@krisgrindheimyep I have the same question I’d like to use a g50x I’m hoping we can use it without causing issues. Not that I want to put 20KG on the sled and extra 3-5kg would suffice

[@danhallett5055]

@@krisgrindheim The maximum stress tested load is just over 20lbs. It is not a replacement for the Archer2.

[@scottievee7467]

How was that C400?

[@LiquidLensPhotography]

Could a light gimbal (RS3 Pro) be used in conjunction for the javelin mode use case?

[@HalfAsianSensation]

Should be possible as long as you're not pushing the payload.

[@steadiman25]

😁😁😁👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@raredreamfootage]

Is the A30 vest sturdier than the Steadicam Pilot Vest?

[@HalfAsianSensation]

Definitely! The A30 has a larger metal frame and improved latch systems compared to the Pilot Vest.

[@z1nezer0flimz85]

Is this compatible with the ronin rs2?

[@Journeywiththehintis]

Rs2 is significantly better

[@HalfAsianSensation]

You can put a Ronin on in as long as you're not pushing the payload.
