[Aluminum] Got this because of the HIGH recommendation from a “ documentary filmmaker and working DP” and YouTuber who admits he absolutely works his gear into the ground, and these are the best V-mount batteries for his situation, because they are rugged and don’t require a charger. No charger to have to carry into the field means no charger to lose and repurchase, and no charger also means one more space in his pack for something else.

Well, I can’t argue with that. 

This is my first V-Mount battery, so I can’t compare it to other V’s, but I’m glad I went this route. But to compare the construction of this battery to some L-Mount batteries I’ve gotten in the past, the quality of this V-mount is VERY high. The exterior is first rate quality: there is nothing cheap or flimsy about it. It charged up from 1/3 rd power (using B&H ‘s recommended Lenovo charger) in the space of an hour. I got it to power my beloved Colbor RGB 60 in the field, and it works like a champ.

Now I don’t have to drag my Bluetti around to power my lights in the field, and instead use the Bluetti for what it was intended: recharging gear back at the car.

I will absolutely be getting this V-mount again as I expand my kit.

[Aluminum] I'm a cinematographer and regularly use glidecam hd-2000 with dslr's such as 5D's and 1Dx mark II, I also often use a Glidecam Hd-4000 with a C300 mark II, and even own a giant came-tv vest and stabilizer rig with wires for batteries and monitors going through it. I hate that big thing because there's no real freedom of motion for rising shots etc and it takes forever but i'm sure for walking shots on a movie set or something it's just right. Anyway I'm a strong believer in no vest because you get so much more shots you can capture. This stabilizer is amazing in every way. It is super portable which is important so you have it. Faster to setup. Stable when set down (much more than glidecam since those can tip to the side easier than this one). This looks better, and is carbon so more efficient with weight just for balancing, smaller shaft and bearing means less friction introduced through the bearing. It's extremely smooth. Has smooth position knobs without the extra unnecessary locking screws on the glidecam. This has exactly what you need with nothing extra. it's simple to start on and excellent enough for a pro. It can handle my 5D mark III with a 16-35mm 2.8 L which is a heavy setup. It even just scraped by at the edge of balancing same camera with a 50mm 1.2L. I plan on getting� some extra weights to make sure I'm set with various cameras such as if I have to put a lav receiver on the hotshoe for single mic work solo shoot with mic running into the camera. I wish they made an identical but just slightly bigger version to compete with glidecam hd2000 size but most small stabilizers handle fine if you add more weight to them. Don't hesitate to buy this. I would recommend this as the most important item to shoot with over a slider, over a tripod (shots need motion people!)

[Aluminum] Tried using two tripods or rolling cstands but this may be a much better option. one rolling cstand or tripod with these arms seems even more stable and easier to move around while on set. Clamp arm does fit the bottom of a cstand.

[Aluminum] Nice little tripod for a very reasonable price.  The top pivot is well made, but unfortunately I am not using it in my setup.

[Aluminum] Better solution that the Black Magic version

[Aluminum] I was hesitant to buy this, there was no reviews on it.�
And boy am I glad I did.�

1) Amazing built.
2) Extremely easy to Stabilize with my 80D on it.�
3) The size fits anywhere.
4) Quick release plate.
5) Fits perfect on my Manfrotto Monopod.
6) Very easy to adjust & level after you watch a couple of good how to videos.
7) Price Point, I haven't found anything on the market that has all the features that this has for less than $700.00 WOW. I am totally recommending this to everyone.
8) It has its own carrying case
9) Smooth footage (I need more training) but right out of the box first try, very very smooth...

[Aluminum] Just shot a film called Breaking and Entering and was able to get some beautiful shots with my new rig.

[Aluminum] This gear is sturdy. Perfect fit for the BM Ursa Mini and cheaper than the Blackmagic version.

[Aluminum] It showed the best performance in the projects we worked on.

[Aluminum] Este estabilizador es muy profesional, de construccion robusta. Requiere de mucha practica como todo sistema de este tipo.
