Specifications

Lite, SteadiStand or Pro?

All three Steadicam® stands share the same 6061-T6 aluminium frame, the same 92–220 cm (36–86.6 in) working height, the same 85 cm footprint and the same 28 cm low base. What separates them sits on top.

• SteadiStand Lite — 4.4 kg, rated to 25 kg (55 lbs). No hill leg, no Moses pole. For studio and OB work, where the floor is flat and every kilo you carry matters.
• SteadiStand — 5.8 kg, rated over 30 kg (66 lbs), with a foot-operated hill leg that levels the stand on uneven ground.
• SteadiStand Pro — 6.5 kg, rated over 30 kg, hill leg plus an integrated Moses pole extending 90–165 cm (37″–69″).

If you work on location — on grass, gravel or a slope — the hill leg is the part you will miss without it. If you dock and undock a Steadicam® rig all day, the Pro's integrated Moses pole saves you carrying a separate one.

What fits the SteadiStand

• 7-inch Wheels — airless, quick-release, turns the stand into a rolling platform in seconds. 4.4 kg for the full set, made in Germany.
• SteadiStand Tray — powder-coated aluminium platform for tools, batteries and monitors, rated to 10 kg (22 lbs).
• SteadiStand Bag — padded transport bag with shoulder strap and handles, sized for the stand and its accessories.
• SteadiPole — a separate telescopic Moses pole, 85 to 155 cm, for docking without stepping up to the Pro.

Questions operators ask

What does the hill leg actually do?
It is the third leg, adjusted by foot. On a slope or on uneven ground you level the stand without bending down and without moving the other two legs — the difference between a stand that works on location and one that only works in a studio.

Lite or SteadiStand?
The SteadiStand Lite is 1.4 kg lighter and rated to 25 kg; this one is rated over 30 kg and has the hill leg. If you shoot outside, take this one.

SteadiStand or Pro?
Same load rating, same frame. The SteadiStand Pro adds the integrated Moses pole (90–165 cm) and the quick-release system, for 700 g more.
