Description
FLOWCINE XSPINE + XBONE CF (Carbon Fibre Back Mount)
Introducing the Flowcine xSPINE + xBONE CF, the ultimate versatile and lightweight camera operator vest system designed for professional Steadicam™ and gimbal operators. The xSPINE vest is recognized as the world’s first truly universal vest engineered to support all kinds of camera stabilizers — whether used as a front or back mount — offering unmatched adaptability, comfort, and functionality on any shoot.
Constructed from premium carbon fiber and aircraft-grade aluminum, the xSPINE offers a rigid yet lightweight cage that optimally distributes camera rig weight across the operator’s torso, significantly reducing fatigue during extended shooting days. Weighing only 3900 grams, the vest balances durability and breathability with its dual-layered air mesh padding integrated with memory foam, allowing excellent ventilation and supreme comfort. The curved carbon fiber chest bars free the chest area for easier breathing, accommodating all body types and sizes effortlessly.
The xBONE CF (carbon fiber back mount) complements the xSPINE by providing a strong, lightweight, and ergonomic back mount solution for heavier payloads, gimbals, or Steadicam sleds. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with the xSPINE, enhancing the operator’s ability to carry and stabilize camera systems with maximum control and comfort.
Both the xSPINE and xBONE CF feature quick-release pins on all major sections (front, back, and sides), allowing operators to quickly disassemble and pack the vest down into a slim, travel-friendly package. Adjustable straps and dual locked ladder buckles provide on-the-fly sizing adjustments for height, chest width, and torso length, ensuring a perfect fit that maintains rigidity and prevents accidental openings during operation.
The xSPINE + xBONE CF system supports various Flowcine accessories such as the GLINK gimbal support system, xARM, and the Winter Softshell and Waterproof Covers, making it one of the most modular and comprehensive camera support solutions available for professional cinematographers and Steadicam operators.
Ideal for demanding environments — from Bollywood, Tollywood, Kollywood, Sandalwood, Mollywood film sets to sports broadcasts and high-end commercial shoots — the Flowcine xSPINE + xBONE CF ensures you stay comfortable, supported, and agile.
This advanced setup ships with a soft carry bag that conveniently fits both the vest and the xBONE CF. For rough travel conditions, an optional hard Peli case is also available.
The xSPINE is the world’s first vest for camera operators that can be used both for Steadicam™ and gimbal work. It’s light and very well ventilated, making it a perfect companion for long days of shooting.
