Handheld

Camera Stabilizer

The Digital Juice Free Spirit Camera Stabilizer is an affordable,

lightweight, handheld camera stabilizing system designed to allow

you to walk, run, climb stairs or move over rough terrain without

camera shake or instability. Using this one piece of gear you can get

beautiful and stable moving shots with a very high production value.

And, since it weighs less than 3 pounds, it won’t break your back

when you need to hold both Free Spirit and camera for extended

periods of time. You can easily get smooth tilts and pans, even

jib or crane-like booms and fluid dolly-style maneuvers with the

device because of its offset-gimbaled handle grip, horizontal yoke,

telescoping center post and adjustable built-in quick-release camera

plate. With the right lens and the right balance, the shots you can get

with the Free Spirit are limitless.

The Free Spirit unit collapses to 18.5 inches and extends to just over

30 inches. It can help you shoot continuous shots which range freely

in any direction you can move, while still producing stable, dynamic

imagery. You can use just about any professional camcorder, SLR

or DSLR camera weighing up to 8 pounds with the Free Spirit. Its bi-

directional, adjustable baseplate includes 3/8” and 1/4”-20 adapters

that allow for easy mounting of a wide variety of quick release plates

and cameras. A precision 3-axis gimbal allows your camera to remain

stable and isolated from your hand shake and body movement, giving

you smooth steady camera motion over any terrain, whether it’s dirt,

rocks, pavement, or grass. The quick-release locking system with

micro adjustment knobs and the position-adjustable counterweight

rings on the base of the stabilizer allow for easy finetuning and

balancing when your camera is onboard.
