Glider Pro 3 Duo For Ronin 3, 3Pro, 3M, 2S, 2CS and many more gimbals.

The Glider Pro 3 Duo is a no-compromise 4th axis stabilizer built from the ground up for Pro's to make your bumpy gimbal footage silky smooth!

As a stand-alone handheld 4th-axis stabilizer or Z-axis stabilizer, it's now the new benchmark for others to aspire to. The Duo comes standard with a mount for the Ronin S3 Pro, S3 Mini, S2, SC2, and a Base Mount 1/4-20 to fit most of every other gimbal with a 1/4-20 in the base! We've also included the gimbal base extender, which allows you to use the mini tripod to set it down between takes.

Modular Design

Its modular design means the Glider Pro 3 Duo can be re-fitted in seconds.

You can add optional mounts for cars, bikes, body mounts, boats mount, you name it, and mount it with our customisable mounts! The handles have extra strong 1/4-20 attachment points in the tops for mounting a Ready Rig for those long, all-day shoots.

 

We improved on the best!

The design aim was to improve every aspect, from the softest to the craziest filming movements.

  • To start, we redesigned the fluid damping to go from zero damping to an even higher level of damping than the original for those extreme shots.
  • We added more stainless steel bearings to make it glide even softer
  • We made it stronger to take those heavier gimbals (I’m looking at you, Ronin S!)
  • We’ve refined the geometry to take you from firm suspension to the softest and most iso-elastic suspension. Think of it like going from an off-roader to a luxury car suspension.
  • So many little things add up to a much better experience, such as attachment points for adding field monitors and other gear. Simply offsetting the handles so the rig leans slightly forward makes a big difference. This prevents rigs from wobbling forward and aft which can translate into unwanted vertical bouncing.

     

The Glider Pro 3 takes a bit more time to master than the Pro 2 did, but once you come up to speed, you’ll be able to achieve footage at least 20% smoother than the Pro 2 model. Once you master it, you can even achieve footage that looks like it’s shot on rails!

Payload Springs

The Glider Pro 3 uses our custom-made springs made of the finest spring steel (music wire) to give the smoothest range of motion.

The Glider Pro 3 Duo 4th axis stabilizer springs suit payloads from 700g to 9kg (1.5 to 20 pounds) with an iso-elastic range from 0.7kg to 6kg (1.5 to 13 pounds). We recommend using payloads between 1kg and 6kg (2 to 13 pounds) for optimum performance.

The payload weight is worked out by adding all your equipment mounted to the stabiliser's centre (camera, gimbal etc). If you mount your field monitor and/or audio off the handles, that doesn't count towards the 4th-axis payload.

Note: All these figures are halved if using a single Glider Pro 3 Module.

    A Compact  Powerhouse

    The huge plus for me is that I can take everything I need for a shoot; lights, an audio recorder and a field monitor, and it all fits in a backpack, so there’s no need for an assistant. But the biggie is that you’ll be hard-pressed to see the difference between footage shot on the new Glider Pro 3 rig and the footage shot on a system totalling many thousands.

    Some other important features;-

    • It’s built extra tough for the rigours of Pro use 
    • It lets you use your gimbals mini tripod to rest your arms between takes.
    • It’s adaptable with an ever-growing ecosystem of add-ons for individualizing your rig.
    • It’s been designed to be quiet, so your audio won’t be ruined by the creaks and squeaks that those cheap Z stabilizers have.
    • And you don’t need a 10-pound padded shipping case to move it around. It all fits with heaps of room to spare in a backpack!
    • You can leave the tools at home with virtually tool-less adjustments in seconds, not minutes.
    • Pros can attach everything they need to your rig with multiple attachment points.
    • A wide range of payloads
    • Dual independent adjustable fluid damping - from hard action to soft shots
    • Dual independent load adjusters to adapt to your rig
    • Adjust in seconds from high shot to upright to mid-height to low (briefcase) mode with an under-slung gimbal
    • Get buttery smooth footage with ease
    • Built super tough from lightweight engineering polymers - Only 1.65kg (3.6 pounds)
    • Comes fully assembled
