Unit comes as pictured! The Steadicam JR is part of the family of award-winning Steadicam Camera Stabilization Systems now manufactured and distributed by The Tiffen Company. Steadicam inventor, Garrett Brown, undertook the challenge to design a compact, superbly styled, jitter-free, personal Steadicam for today's lightweight camcorders weighing up to four pounds. Jiggle-free shooting, freedom of movement, performance, versatility, rugged design, durability and award-winning technology allows the camera to be as mobile as the camera operator -- walking, riding, running, or standing still. Structurally, the Steadicam JR is deceptively simple: a camera platform, a gimbal handle, a flat screen monitor and two folding arms. The secret of the Steadicam JR's patented stabilization concept is in its ingenious system of weights and balances which places the center of gravity within its free-floating, inter-gimbaled handle assembly. What all this means is, while you may shake or rock or turn, the camera will remain absolutely steady. With the Steadicam JR, you can take shots at "impossible" angles, above, below, or even behind you. And once you've mastered the Steadicam JR, there's no limit to your freedom to create dramatic moving shots. When your eye is glued to your camera's viewfinder, your head becomes another source of unwanted motion. The solution: Steadicam JR comes with its own, adjustable 2.9-inch flat screen monitor. Watching this bright color monitor heads-up, you can boom the camera up for dramatic bird's-eye shots, or down for a kid's eye perspective. Also, when you view find heads-up, you can become part of the action. You're no longer hidden behind the camera's tiny viewfinder. You can move right into the activity, monitor what you're shooting, and still watch where you're going. Plus, your subjects will be more at ease looking at you, rather than your lens. While the Steadicam JR is most often used fully extend in what Tiffen calls "flying mode," there are other ways to shoot that are just as exciting and versatile. With its arms only partially open, the Steadicam JR becomes a comfortable stabilizing shoulder brace featuring heads-up viewfinding. This mode is perfect when you want to shoot from the audience or use the camera's zoom lens. The Steadicam JR can even be completely folded beneath your camera for mounting on a conventional tripod. In any mode, this device becomes an integral part of your camcorder. In fact, with the optional Steadicam JR Travel Case you never have to remove the Steadicam JR from the camera at all. Both tuck neatly away along with enough pocket and compartment space for all your camera accessories. The Steadicam JR comes complete with everything you need to get going, including the stabilizing unit, high resolution color monitor, printed instructions, and a step-by-step videotape instruction manual for setting up and balancing your Steadicam JR. Remember, Steadicam JR is not a toy. It is a sophisticated piece of equipment that has the power to unlock an entirely new dimension in the look of your home videos. Right from the start, you'll see the difference. And the more practiced you become with the Steadicam JR, the more exciting the creative possibilities. It is certain to dramatically change the way you shoot video.
