DESCRIPTION:
The Wondlan Leopard Vest is a great way of supporting your hand held stabilizer over long periods of shooting. It reduces arm, back and shoulder fatigue, allowing you to shoot for longer without compromising your footage due to muscle tiredness. It can also make horizontal movement smoother, allowing you to easily follow straight horizontal paths.
The vest is highly adjustable, making it suitable for any shape or size. The pin on the front pulls out, allowing you to adjust the height of the vest, by sliding it up and down before releasing the pin to lock it back in place.
The 6 straps that go around the chest are all adjustable in length, and have handy Velcro patches on trailing ends to prevent them from hanging loose.
The inside of the vest is padded with soft foam, covered with a breathable lining. The front of the vest is made from ultra-strong, lightweight aluminium, hard anodised in black for a scratch resistant finish.
The arm features 14 high spec bearings, allowing smooth motion at each of its 7 hinging points.
The arm is also removable from the vest for easy transportation. It has 2 steel pins which securely locate into the mounting point at the bottom of the vest. The arm can be mounted facing to the left or the right, depending on your personal preference.
After the arm is in place, the camera and stabiliser can be added, the handle of the stabiliser simply slots over the main steel support pin (diameter 16mm). The silver tension knob can then be adjusted to set the spring tension, enabling the perfect amount of resistance when moving the camera upward and downwards.
