Sevenoak SK-SW PRO 2 Overview:
The Sevenoak Pro 2 Camera Stabilizer lets you capture smooth, free-floating handheld shots with camcorders and camera rigs weighing up to 6.6 pounds. The system employs a height-adjustable gimbal with a two-stage center column which collapses to a travel-ready size for convenient transport. The center column also makes it easy to balance heavier loads without increasing the weight of the stabilizer, letting you shoot for longer periods of time with less arm fatigue. Four counterweights are included, which fit onto two posts at the base of the stabilizer.
A sliding baseplate easily slides into the camera platform and allows for front-to-back balance adjustment. The platform itself also provides side-to-side adjustments for quick balancing. Once balanced the stabilizer isolates the camera from your body movements, letting you walk or even climb stairs while capturing smooth, elegant-looking footage.
Load Capacity
Rated to support a payload of up to 6.6 pounds, this stabilizer is well suited for DSLRs, mirrorless, and small camcorders.
Adjustable Gimbal
The height-adjustable gimbal can be positioned along the center column. This helps you balance heavier loads by moving the gimbal higher up on the column, reducing the amount of counterweight you need. Fewer counterweights means less stress on your arm, which results in longer shooting times before fatigue sets in.
Can be used for high- and low-angle shooting
Three-Stage Center Column
Before adding more counterweights to the stabilizer, you can extend the center column to help balance your camcorder. The stabilizer has a maximum extended height of 28.5″ and a minimum height of 17.72″.
Textured Rubber Grip
The stabilizer features a foam rubber grip on the handle for comfort and to aid against slippage. There is also a foam grip on the center column twist-locks for easier tightening and loosening.
Four Included Counterweights
The four included counterweights fit onto the two counterweight posts, allowing you to add them one at a time to adjust the unit’s center of gravity.
