It is our entry-level tool for executing smooth cinematic moves such as tracking shots, boom shots, and dutch tilts.

With a maximum height of 79.9" and a minimum height of just 30.7", the MVMXPRO500US can be adjusted to suit users of varying heights and for various different tasks.
Shoulder Mounts
We have two shoulder rig systems, designed by Shape and Red Rock, which are both equipped with baseplates and 15mm rods for mounting cameras and accessories for stable handheld use.
Gimbal Stabilizers
Our gimbal stabilizers include the DJI Ronin-S, the DJI RSC 2, and the DJI RS 3 Pro. These are designed mirrorless and DSLR cameras and utilize motorized 3-axis stabilizers to help you execute smooth cinematic moves. They require a good deal of practice to operate with confidence; we typically recommend that beginners first practice with a monopod.
Sliders
Learning to operate our Rhino or GlideTrack sliders is the easiest way to add smooth tracking shots to your videos.
Options:
- Available in 1-meter or 2-meter lengths
- Can be setup on a floor or table, or elevated with two tripods.
- Supports fluid-head tripod mount for combining track movements with pans and tilts
- Rhino models offer a robotic motor that allows you to program tracking and panning movements
