Twister by Betz-Tools

The Betz-Tools Twister is a universal twistable frame designed as a camera support system, primarily for professional film and video cameras. Its core function is to allow camera operators to freely frame shots in all axes without needing to constantly adjust the leveling of the horizon. This is particularly beneficial when the Twister is used in conjunction with the Betz-Tools Wave 1 stabilizer, creating a horizon-leveled camera system.

The Betz-Tools Twister is a versatile and robust camera frame that offers unparalleled twistable functionality for cinematography and videography. This innovative camera support enables operators to achieve dynamic and precisely framed shots, independent of the camera’s physical orientation. When paired with the Betz-Tools Wave 1 horizon stabilization system, the Twister ensures a perfectly level horizon, even during complex movements. Its universal design makes it compatible with a wide array of professional cameras from leading manufacturers like ARRI, Red, Sony, Canon, and Panavision. The Twister features a pivot mount for seamless integration with Steadicam arm posts (standard 0.625″/15.79mm GPI PRO size) and tripod docking.

It also includes a mounting ring for compatibility with Easyrig and similar camera support systems. The quick camera setup is facilitated by For/Aft and Side by Side adjustments, allowing for rapid balancing and lens changes. The integration of the Betz-Tools QuickLok™ system ensures a secure, vibration-free camera mount with fast attachment and detachment. Designed for use with universal camera dovetail plates, the Twister also offers height adjustment for optimal camera balance. Its versatility extends to quick transitions between various camera supports, including tripods, shoulder mounts, and Steadicam systems, with secure camera mounting via 3/8″ and 1/4″ screws. Constructed from lightweight aircraft aluminum with precise laser-engraved markings, the Betz-Tools Twister is a durable and essential tool for professional camera operators seeking creative freedom and stability.
