Steadicam G-50x Arm

Advanced Stabilization with Precision Control

The Steadicam G-50x Arm is a high-performance stabilizer arm designed for professional camera operators who require smooth, controlled camera movement in a wide range of shooting scenarios. Engineered with patented Geo spring technology and titanium spring architecture, the G-50x delivers superior performance, durability, and user control—making it an essential component in the Steadicam ecosystem.

Ideal for use with professional rigs in feature film, television, broadcast, and documentary production, the G-50x arm combines lightweight construction, iso-elastic support, and field-serviceable design to offer a robust and adaptable solution for modern cinematographers.

Wide Payload Range with User-Maintainable Design

The G-50x is built to support a payload capacity of 12 to 50 lbs (5.4 to 22.7 kg), accommodating a wide variety of camera sled configurations—from lightweight digital cinema cameras to fully rigged broadcast systems. Its lightweight construction—coupled with an impressive 29-inch boom range—enables operators to perform dynamic movements such as booming, tilting, and panning with precision and consistency.

This makes the G-50x a highly versatile arm that adapts to evolving production needs, providing long-term value to Steadicam professionals.

Powered by Geo Spring Technology

At the heart of the G-50x is Steadicam’s proprietary Geo spring technology, which enhances vertical stabilization and smooth arm movement. Unlike traditional spring designs, the G-50x uses adjustable-length crankshafts that dynamically rock the spring termination point as the arm booms up or down.

This unique geometry optimizes the spring’s leverage throughout the boom range, creating a more iso-elastic and consistent lift that minimizes operator fatigue while maximizing shot stability.

Enhanced Ride Control and Impact Dampening

The G-50x features an integrated Ride Control knob, allowing operators to fine-tune the arm’s iso-elastic response. This lets users adjust how soft or firm the boom action feels, depending on their rig’s weight and their own shooting preferences.

To protect the internal mechanics and ensure quiet operation, the G-50x includes soft bumpers at the boom limits. These absorb impact forces and eliminate distracting clanking sounds when the arm reaches its travel extremes—ideal for maintaining a quiet set and preserving gear longevity.

Built for the Field – Durable and Serviceable

Designed with professional use in mind, the G-50x is not only durable but also fully field-serviceable. Its modular construction and accessible components allow for straightforward maintenance, reducing downtime between shoots and ensuring reliability in demanding production environments.

Conclusion

The Steadicam G-50x Arm is a rugged, finely-tuned stabilization tool that offers unmatched performance and adaptability in its class. Whether you’re capturing fast-paced action sequences, smooth walk-and-talks, or steady tracking shots, the G-50x delivers the precision, fluidity, and ergonomic control needed to bring your creative vision to life.

From its innovative Geo spring system to its user-friendly ride control and quiet operation, the G-50x stands out as a go-to arm for professional Steadicam operators worldwide.
