I'm a comedian, writer, hyphen... Just trying to make some money off all this gear I've accumulated. Hook a brutha up.

Defy G5 Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer

Much lighter than the DJI Ronin, this is an excellent gimbal system more on par with the Movi10. So if you're shooting with a blackmagic, a 1DC, an FS700 or anything smaller, this is the rig you'll want. Will easily balance up to 7lbs. Paired with a 70D, and it's face tracking autofocus in video mode, this rig is ideal for a one man band looking to move the camera dramatically without the need for a focus puller in certain situations. The DEFY G5 is comprised of lightweight carbon fiber tubes and high quality aluminum components. Uniquely incorporating a limited number of easy to adjust thumb screws into its design in place of hex bolts, users can field assemble and balance without tools in just minutes. Filming with the DEFY G5 is equally easy, allowing nearly anyone with little to no training to use. The DEFY G5 is scalable, meaning it can quickly adapt to various cameras and lenses during a shoot due to the ease of its field balancing. The DEFY G5 features a full 3-axis control, three modes of operation: Slow Pan, Fast Pan, and Accessory Control. Holds camera and lens combinations up to 6lbs 3 modes of operation: Slow Pan, Fast Pan, Accessory Control 3 Axis stabilization 2 Batteries with charging station (for up to 120-180 minutes of constant run time) Crushproof/Waterproof Pelican Case Integrated On/Off Switch Clean design eliminating clutter from wires Technical Support via phone / email What's in the box: DEFY G5 Battery (Quantity 2) Battery Charging Station Pelican Case with custom cut foam TECHNICAL SPECS DIMENSIONS: Height: 370mm Width: 264mm Depth: 250mm Weight: 5 lbs / 2.27 kg CAMERA DIMENSION SUPPORTED (PLUS LENS AND ACCESSORIES): Height: 150mm Width: 180mm Depth: 200mm Weight: 5 lbs / 2.26 kg OPERATIONAL AXIS OFFSET: Yaw: 360 degrees continuous rotation Pitch: +/- 45 degrees Depth: 200mm Roll: +/- 70 degrees CAMERA BALANCING: 6 points adjustment using just three thumbscrews Tool-free Balancing can be achieved under 3 minutes Industry standard quick-release dovetail POWER AND BATTERY: Charged with supplied Lithium-polymer charger via 110V wall outlet Battery Life: 120-180 minutes of constant run time.
