The Tiffen Company Demonstrates New Steadicam Steadimate-S at NAB 2019

The Tiffen Company, the leading manufacturer of imaging accessories for the consumer/professional imaging and the motion picture and broadcast
television industries, announces today the addition of the Steadimate-S to its Steadicam line of
camera stabilizers.
Presented for the first time at NAB 2019, the Steadicam Steadimate-S offers camera operators
increased freedom, endurance, and creative opportunity when working with single-handed
motorized stabilizers like the DJI Ronin-S®. By pairing a single-handed stabilizer with a body-
worn stabilizer the DJI Ronin-S can be operated for hours with minimal physical fatigue while
maintaining a wide range of vertical movement and adding full panning ability and “low-mode”
operation.
Users can minimize or completely eliminate the bouncing image effect that often occurs when
using single-handled stabilizers as the Steadimate-S provides x-axis and y-axis stabilization
while the Steadicam arm provides z-axis stabilization. The addition of the Steadimate-S easily
and affordably transforms single-handed motorized gimbals into professional video stabilization
systems.
“The Steadicam Steadimate-S is a new, elegant solution designed to add stability, operational
comfort, and panning ability to single-handed stabilizers that are popular with camera operators,”
said Andrew Tiffen, SVP of Marketing, The Tiffen Company. “We look forward to debuting and
demonstrating this latest camera stabilizer in our booth at the NAB Show next month.”
The Steadimate-S comes standard with a post block and balance pin that fits arms with 1/2"
posts. The weight capacity varies depending on the single-handed stabilizer, arm, and vest being
used. The Steadimate-S adapter can be purchased on its own for use with existing arms and
vests, or as a complete kit available in two weight classes. The Steadimate-S 15 System comes
with the A-15 Arm & Scout Vest and offers a 15 lbs./6.8 kg weight capacity, while the
Steadimate-S 30 System comes with the A-30 Arm & Zephyr Vest and boasts a 30 lbs./13.6 kg
capacity.
