Important Things to Consider

• Your rental begins when the first delivery attempt is made. If you do not think you’ll be available for home delivery, please contact us to arrange for delivery to another location.

• Your rental must be returned to its pick up location or postmarked by your shipper before the same day cut-off time. Contact the location you’ll be bringing the return package to in advance to find out what the same day cut-off time is. Remember, local pickup spots and ship centers have varied hours!

• For your security, get a receipt from whoever you are dropping your gear off with for return.

INCLUDED

DETAILS

The Steadicam Steadimate 30 allows you to mount a motorized gimbal, such as a Freefly MoVI or DJI Ronin, along with a camera and accessories up to 30 pounds total for better weight distribution while maintaining linear-axis stabilization. The spring-loaded arm provides additional movement isolation while the vest reduces arm fatigue by distributing the weight of your gimbal setup over your core. This benefits long takes and complex maneuvers and is ideal for documentary work, action sequences, and creative narrative filmmaking.

Please note that this rental does not include a gimbal system, such as a MoVI or Ronin. They are rentable separately.

NOTES

• This rig is compatible with payloads up to 30 lbs.

• The handlebar clamps on this rig are compatible with motorized gimbal systems with handlebars that are 25mm, 25.5mm, or 30mm in diameter. The 30mm is pre-installed and there are additional inserts for 25mm and 25.5mm that are included.

• While designed for gimbals, such as the Ronin or MoVI (not included), this rig can be used with any Steadicam-type sled that will connect to a 1/2" post.
