Description
SmartSystem SmartCAM Horizon
Professional Brushless Monitor Stabilizer for Steadicam and Gimbal Operators
The SmartSystem SmartCAM Horizon is the first brushless monitor stabilizer on the market specifically engineered for Steadicam and gimbal operators. It delivers precise monitor stabilization through encoder technology and a counterweight system that ensures smooth operation and accurate balancing. Designed for professional cinematographers, the Horizon enables effortless transitions between high-mode and low-mode shooting without the need for rebalancing the sled.
Crafted with precision and attention to detail, this monitor stabilizer is completely milled from solid aluminum, combining lightweight performance with maximum structural integrity. The SmartCAM Horizon addresses the core challenge of monitor instability in dynamic movement environments and offers a reliable, tool-free setup for a wide variety of monitor sizes and configurations.
Engineered for Maximum Balance and Stability
The SmartCAM Horizon utilizes advanced encoder technology and a powerful brushless motor to deliver unmatched monitor stability. Whether operating on a Steadicam or gimbal system, the Horizon ensures that your monitor remains in perfect alignment throughout your shot, regardless of rig orientation or movement. This makes it a crucial component for professionals seeking consistent visual reference during demanding production scenarios.
The included stainless steel counterweights—four 100-gram units—allow users to finely adjust horizontal and vertical balance without the need for tools. This makes balancing quick, intuitive, and highly accurate, even with monitors of varying weights and dimensions.
Heavy-Duty Construction for Professional Use
Built for durability and intensive field use, the SmartCAM Horizon features a fully CNC-machined body made from hard-anodized aluminum. This robust construction not only minimizes weight but also offers superior resistance to wear and corrosion. The included precision push-pull connectors support daisy-chain power and video signal distribution to the monitor, reducing cable clutter and improving rig efficiency.
The stabilizer also includes a quick-lock and power-enable system for fast deployment and secure operation. With the ability to attach to any sled featuring a standard 1/4-inch thread or to SmartCAM Matrix sleds, the SmartCAM Horizon provides versatile mounting options for modern workflows.
