DESCRIPTION
The Ares, shown here in executive black finish with a large video camera mounted, is a professional, hand held, video camera stabilizer. It has been designed to meet the needs of professional film and video makers in the movie, television, wedding and advertising industries.
The Ares is lightweight, compact, easy to set up, easy to adjust and easy to control. It incorporates lightweight, aviation grade aluminium components with a self weight of only 1.2kg making this one of the lightest professional stabilizers in the world. This greatly eases the physical workload and enables professional film and video makers to shoot steadily for long periods of time.
EXQUISITE WORKMANSHIP AND HIGH QUALITY
The Ares stabilizer is produced on an internationally advanced CNC production line incorporating a surface treatment process of international advanced precision aviation specifications.
HANDHELD DAMPING SYSTEM
The system incorporates a high-strength alloy spring. The Ares unique patented hand-held shock absorption and balance design greatly absorbs vibration generated during shooting. Combined with the fine adjustment system of the bi-directional platform, shooting is enjoyed with maximum stability.
COUNTERWEIGHT
This is provided with high-grade chrome-plated weights. These are supplied in different weights to provide a wide scope of application. They can be individually added or removed very quickly to provide very fine adjustment during set-up or when disassembling the stabilizer.
GUIDE CHAIN SYSTEM
The guide chain allows operators to control the stabilizer more easily, especially when running or changing direction quickly, without causing the camera to swing. A guide chain is provided and controlled by use of the index finger to control the direction of the camera and to prevent it swinging around sharply when affected by wind or air pressure caused by velocity of movement.
FOLDING SYSTEM
The stabilizer incorporates a dual-link design, enhancing the stability and allowing the lower section of the crank arm to fold into the upper section. It is fixed with a locking screw at the connection between the platform and the upper section.
PERFECT CONTROL PERFORMANCE
The Ares stabilizer is designed by American top grade film and video equipment designers. The dual-link V-shaped lightweight crank arm is the result of research, precise calculations, repeat testing and experiment. The professional universal dynamic self-balance system with damping handle, that significantly absorbs camera shake, allows excellent control of the Ares stabilizer regardless of the user being a professional or amateur.
COMPETITIVE PRICE
The Ares stabilizer allows film and video professionals and camcorder enthusiasts who, without a stabilizer, are unable to realize their dream of shooting professional looking movies. The low cost allows all videographers to own this necessary equipment which compares with those used by Hollywood movie shooting masters.
QUICK AND EASY BALANCING
Balance adjustment is a necessary and very important process before using any stabilizer. The adjustment directly affects shooting and control of the camera which directly affects the quality of the film/video recording. The set up time is minimal due to the easy and fine adjustment mechanisms incorporated into the stabilizer which incorporates a bi-directional platform below the camera fixing plate. In just a few minutes, the stabilizer can be configured, balanced and ready to use.
PROFESSIONAL PLATFORM
The platform system of Ares is designed for a wide range of professional film and video cameras including shoulder carried cameras. The Ares platform system has rotating knobs to precisely adjust the centre of gravity of the camera forwards and backwards and side to side. This system offers very fine adjustment greatly improving the function of the Ares stabilizer and allowing it to support a wider range of cameras. The unique and simple adjustment method allows you to adjust the balance in 2-3 minutes with high precision. Fine adjustment system of bi-directional platform has precise scale, as long as you record the settings. Using the same settings again, the Ares stabilizer will automatically balance with no setup time at all. The unique design allows Ares stabilizer to be the first stabilizer in the world that does not require balance adjustment.
ARES ADJUSTMENT COMPONENTS
Fine adjustment bi-directional camera platform mounting plate. Anti-skid damping pad. Pro camera and camcorder fixing screws. Telescopic locating pin. Camera platform. Platform base. Platform bracket. Forward/Rear fine adjustment knob. Forward/Rear locking screw. Left/Right fine adjusting knob. Left/Right locking screw. The unique design allows this to be the stabilizer with the quickest adjustment in balance and the most convenient in use of the world. Universal dynamic self-balance system. Gimbal technology is widely used in aerospace, aviation, cars, trains, ships, large machinery industries, etc. Skilful design allows this highly sophisticated industrial technology to be used in the professional film and video equipment industry.
ARES BALANCE BRACKET
This incorporates lightweight aviation grade aluminium; The dual-link V-shaped crank arm with central void greatly reduces swing caused by wind pressure. With precise calculations, testing and experimenting, it has been proven that this crank arm design achieves precision dynamic balance easily with quick and simple adjustment, greatly simplifying set-up and adjustment of the stabilizer.
LIGHTWEIGHT
The Ares stabilizer is light in weight and steady in performance with a high tech design. The full aluminium alloy body is only 1.2 kg; it is one of the lightest stabilizers in the world. Equipped with a professional camera, it is possible to shoot smoothly for long periods of time which not only reduces the physical stress on videographers but also improves the shooting effect.
PERFECT STABILIZATION
The Professional “universal dynamic self-balance system” and the “handheld damping system” allow the Ares stabilizer to achieve smooth shots of a professional standard whilst shooting under normal conditions, whilst running or whilst on uneven terrain or stairways.
SOFT BAG
The Ares stabilizer is supplied as standard with a soft bag to allow for easy transportation and to protect the stabilizer from damage during transportation and storage. An aluminium case for the Ares stabilizer is sold separately and is referred to above.
