Flowcine Tranquilizer – Advanced Anti-Vibration Mount for Gimbals and Vehicle Rigs
The Flowcine Tranquilizer is a next-generation anti-vibration isolator designed specifically to complement the geometry and function of modern electronic gimbal systems. Engineered for professional filmmakers, DOPs, and Steadicam operators working in challenging environments, the Tranquilizer drastically reduces high- and low-frequency vibrations during vehicle-mounted shoots, ensuring buttery-smooth footage even under dynamic motion.
This cinema-grade vibration isolator works as a perfect companion to the Flowcine Black Arm, enhancing stabilization by isolating vibrations that pass from the mounting platform (car, motorcycle, dolly, or crane) to the camera and gimbal system. Built with custom polymer dampers rather than traditional wire ropes, the Tranquilizer eliminates the self-oscillation often seen in older systems, offering filmmakers greater control, accuracy, and reliability.
TRANQUILIZER – Quick Overview
-
Built to handle the most complex vibration challenges in mobile cinematography.
-
Specifically optimized for electronic gimbals and remote heads.
-
Smaller, lighter, and more adaptable than traditional isolators.
-
Modular design with interchangeable polymer inserts.
-
Integrated passive weight system for custom tuning.
Weight Range Configuration
To achieve optimal vibration isolation, the Tranquilizer ships with two sets of polymers: Shore 30 and Shore 40. These polymers can be swapped based on the rig’s total weight and operating terrain. Optional polymer kits (Shore 20, 50, and 60) are also available for broader tuning.
Tranquilizer Weight Ranges (including passive plates):
-
Shore 20: 5.40 – 10.75 kg – Ideal for lightweight rigs and flat terrain
-
Shore 30: 6.70 – 13.25 kg – Best suited for light to medium rigs on regular roads
-
Shore 40: 11.25 – 22.50 kg – Great for heavier rigs or minor off-road use
-
Shore 50: 13.75 – 27.50 kg – Optimized for medium-heavy rigs on tougher terrain
-
Shore 60: 19.00 – 34.50 kg – Designed for heavy payloads and rough off-road filming
These options provide unmatched flexibility for gimbal users working across varied setups and shooting environments.
Applications:
-
Vehicle-mounted cinematography (car, ATV, motorcycle)
