Get ready to have your mind blown by the latest 3-axis gimbal rigs taking over the industry! These devices are some of the coolest around, and they just keep getting better. In the past, getting a steady moving shot was either incredibly difficult or very expensive. But now, tools like the MoVI and Ronin have been embraced by the independent and small-budget market, capturing incredible shots. And now, there’s a new hybrid system combining the best of the Steadicam with the technology of devices like the MoVI: the Artemis Trinity.
The Artemis Maxima is a lightweight gimbal that can hold just about any camera up to 30kg (66 lbs). It features weight compensation, meaning users won’t have to rebalance when changing lenses. Plus, it allows users to perform a vertical swivel up to 90 degrees, which means the camera can turn a corner without the operator. The Maxima is controlled by a highly precise joystick mounted either on the device or held remotely. And perhaps the most exciting note, the Maxima has been designed to be used either handheld or attached to a stabilizer.
But that’s not all – combining the Maxima gimbal with a traditional stabilizer creates the incredible Artemis Trinity. This system allows operators to attach a Maxima to existing stabilization rigs, and it does not require an Artemis arm. Users can also put the Trinity on a crane or dolly, making it multifunctional. The price is not set in stone, but it’s expected to cost €30000 or $33,850 and ship in November/December 2015.
