Beholder EC1 – 3-Axis handheld gimbal stabilizer

The Beholder EC1 is the newest upgrade to the popular gimbal Beholder DS1. It is designed

specifically for professional filmmakers looking for a single handheld stabilizer for a large range of medium

and small cameras. The EC1 makes it simple and easy to get outstanding stable footage.

Beholder EC1 is the first to use the 32bit motor encoder. It features adjustable curved arms and

also adds an innovative pitch double adjustment that allows customers to use a large variety of camera

sizes, from small mirrorless to large DSLR cameras.

Whether filming fast-paced actions or aiming for high or low-angle shots, this device will help you

correct shakes or swaying and will balance and smooth the picture in order to achieve professional grade

image stabilization.

Beholder EC1 is lightweight and easy to use and can be carried in the supplied case or a small

photographer bag. EC1 can be widely used in movies, professional wedding films, and other applications.

EC1 uses a 32-bit electronic board system that has several profiles for multiple shooting modes, which

are easy to select by simply pressing a key. Beholder EC1 is shipped “ready to use” and does not require

software changes in order to handle your camera. The encoder technology is built-in for faster system

responsiveness, greatly improving the accuracy and stability at any angle, without having to switch modes

manually.

EC1 allows the camera to rotate 360 degrees on all axes using slip-ring technology while removing

rotation blockers used in previous versions to prevent wire twisting. It supports external remote control

(wired or wireless), allowing you to extend the handle and mount directly onto a rocker arm to achieve

high angle shots, boom moves, dolly shots, a smooth and seamless transition from high to low mode and

also time-lapse photography. Beholder EC1 supports firmware upgrades for further software optimization.

EC1 has a standby time of 20 hours, while the built-in self-luminous OLED screen displays real-

time power usage, allowing users to better understand the product’s electricity consumption in a timely

manner in order to charge the battery. The OLED screen also displays the profile selected, allowing users

to clearly understand the shooting mode currently in use.
