Manfrotto MODOSTEADY Stability, Portability and Ease of Use
Having brought vast improvements to many traditional products including professional camera and lighting supports in addition to the many innovations introduced in the realm of photography, video and entertainment, Manfrotto is a brand that needs no further introduction.
Their latest offering - the MODOSTEADY – is a totally-new, one-of-its-kind support for lightweight camcorders up to 750gms that will enable amateur video buffs to capture scenes without annoying jiggles and movements that is often the most evident shortfall of an inexperienced production.
The MODOSTEADY is a truly clever combination of three essential camcorder supports in a single product. It can be used as a table tripod, a shoulder support and as a counterbalancing stabilizer. This highly unique support incorporates many technical features to give it its stability, portability and ease of use.
For maximum compactness and versatility, it has no less than five joints and four locking knobs. There’s a top quick release rotating plate for changing the camera position 180 degrees (from steady-cam to shoulder support use). The adjustable top part slides to find the point of balance on the vertical axis and the handle also serves as a table support while the foot is used to store five stainless steel counterbalance weights with a total of 180gms.
For durability, the handle grip, top plate and foot use a special technopolymer that is very light, but resistant to both oxidation and UV rays and bi-injected soft-hard rubber is also used in these parts for a non-slip grip and comfort.
For a very small investment, you can add a Manfrotto MODOSTEADY to your kit and benefit from a large improvement in the quality of the footage you shoot.
