SmartSystem ArmX1 Drop Down Kit

Achieve Lower Angles with Precision and Stability

The SmartSystem ArmX1 Drop Down Kit is an essential accessory for Steadicam operators looking to expand their range of movement and capture ultra-low angle shots with confidence. Specifically engineered for compatibility with all ArmX1 units ever manufactured, this kit allows you to drop your J-Bracket or U-Bracket up to 254mm (10″) below the standard Arm Post height—making “floor-level tracking shots” smoother and more ergonomic.

Whether you’re filming dynamic action scenes, sports events, or cinematic sequences with a low perspective, this kit gives you the flexibility to operate comfortably without compromising balance or build integrity.

Universal Compatibility with ArmX1 Stabilizer Arms

Designed to fit every generation of the SmartSystem ArmX1, the Drop Down Kit seamlessly integrates with your existing rig setup. It allows the mounting of both J-Brackets and U-Brackets, in regular or inverted positions, making it highly adaptable to your preferred operating style and shot requirements.

Robust, Lightweight Construction

Crafted using high-grade Ergal aluminum and stainless steel tubing, the Drop Down Kit combines strength with minimal weight—ensuring reliability without adding unnecessary load to your system. Integrated push-pin safety locks provide fast, secure connections and prevent accidental slippage during critical takes.
