Add professional-level stability and smoothness to your videos with this Matrix Sled Extreme from SmartSystem. The Matrix Extreme sled is designed to stabilize large cinema camera rigs and features a telescoping carbon fiber center post, a fluid gimbal stabilizer sled, a Smarthead non-floating adjustable head, a monitor LCD holder, a dual Gold mount battery plate, an additional Gold mount plate on the bottom for additional power and counterweight, and 10 counterweights.
The Smarthead top plate can adjust for balance and can quickly and cleanly mount and unmount the camera rig. The arm on the center post can mount onto an optional stabilizer arm such as the ARM X1 or X-LITE, which transfers the weight from your arm to your hips for comfort during long shooting days. The carbon fiber center post is height adjustable for working in a variety of production environments. The sled also features a docking bracket to dock the sled when it s not in use.
There is a dual Gold mount battery plate on the bottom sled that runs power up through the center column to the head, which features three outputs with different pinouts and voltages for output to a variety of cameras and accessories. Connectors include 14.8 VDC 2- and 4-pin LEMO type outputs, as well as tally and BNC video input/output options to pass from the camera to your monitor.
An additional third Gold mount plate is included on the bottom of the sled for added power as well as counterweight. The Extreme model also features counterweights that allow you to add up to 10 included SmartSystem counterweights weighing approximately 8 oz each, so you can balance a heavier rig. The sled can be broken down and stored in the included hard-shell carry case.

SmartSystem Arm X1 Professional Stabilization Arm
Fly your cine camera with precision and confidence using the Arm X1 Professional Stabilization Arm from SmartSystem. Its fine-tuning system enables you to perfectly match the mass of your rig with the appropriate level of resistance, resulting in the state of equilibrium known as critical damping.
Its 7075 aluminum alloy, rated higher than aircraft-grade, has the Brinnell hardness, fatigue strength, and tensile strength of carbon steel yet without the weight. It is outfitted with an industry-standard mating block that can easily be switched from regular to goofy.
High-Grade 7075 Aluminum Alloy
The Arm X1 is constructed from 7075 aluminum, which is classified as superior to aircraft-grade aluminum. It has a Brinnel hardness, fatigue strength, and tensile strength over 60% higher than those of 6082 high-quality aluminum.
Fine-Tuned Resistance
A force-multiplier control enables the user to precisely match the resistance with the mass of your rig. This on-the-go capability comes in handy when doing a lens swap, removing a matte box, or other alterations that affect the mass of the payload. Finding the balance between too much resistance, which produces oscillations, and too little, which creates a lagging effect, is made simple by the Arm X1 s XTune system.
Payload Range of 13.2 to 74.9 lb
The arm supports a 60 lb weight range, suitable for a wide array of rigs.
Boom Range
The Arm X1 has a boom range of 28.5 , enabling you to raise the camera for a high-angle shot, or lower it down to shoot up at a subject.
Italian Manufacturing
Every component of the Arm X1 is machined in the company s own factory in Italy.
