As a tall guy, I have always had trouble getting hand-held cameras low. For years, I’ve been
experimenting with different solutions to this problem. Easyrigs always come to mind first,
but my back has never agreed with them and I’ve never loved the motion they give the camera.
As a steadicam operator, I’m far more comfortable taking weight in a vest.
After extensive on-set testing, redesigning and manufacturing, I’m excited to make PATHFINDER
available to other operators.
PATHFINDER, combined with your steadicam vest and arm, holds cameras in a low mode configuration while maintaining an authentic hand-held look.
Offering a wide range of mobility, PATHFINDER uses the reach of your steadicam arm
to help position cameras over immovable set pieces. It is ideal for shooting high energy action,
dialogue between sitting characters, centering top down over a bed or gliding over a table top -
among many other specialty shots.
All PATHFINDERs are small-batch manufactured in Western New York using 6061-T6
aluminum, cast hardware and rated webbing.
Features:
Brass locking knob to hold bracket position
1/4-20 mounting hole for accessories
Kong Frog clip for quick and secure locking
Included with purchase:
PATHFINDER bracket
3/8 eye bolt
