The Ronin: DJI’s Ronin Stabilizer is one of the best gimbal stabilizers on the market. The Ronin can be used to achieve smooth, stable shots with ease. It can be used in everyday production as an alternative to a Steadicam, slider or dolly, as well as in an aircraft for stunningly smooth aerial footage. Along with attention to detail, custom built super fast processors, sensors, and algorithms offer an extreme precision of control angle within the range of ±0.02°. This puts world class leading technology into your hands offering the highest standards when it comes to picture or video stabilization.  This is probably the best stabilization system I feel comfortable using.  Anything more technical (Movi Pro, Steadicam, Drone) I would hire an op who specializes in that gear to work with me.

Cineped 3.5ft Slider: My personal favorite slider available, this slider systems can handle everything from a DSLR to the heaviest of rigs.   The four-legged base allows the slider to use a rotating swivel on the base that allows the slider to be turned 360° with little effort.  Magnetic cushions also ensure that no camera move with be ruined with a jolt should you run out of real estate mid-slide.  Accepts Mitchell base tripod heads and has adapters to go to 100mm or 150mm ball heads.

EasyRig: Handheld operating support system helps stabilize the shot while also saving the operator’s body.  Capable of supporting up the 40lbs, the EasyRig transfers the weight of the camera from the operator’s shoulders to their hips, allowing the operator to control the camera freely and easily.  This is an awesome thing to have for long handheld days and the near weightlessness of the camera on the upper body allows for shots that would not be possible otherwise.
