CAMCORDER STABILIZERS from HAGUE & VARIZOOM
The stabilizer enables you to move around with your camcorder and still get stable pictures. It totally eliminates any camera shake so you can get in amongst the action, rather than being in a static position.

You can now buy the majority of our products online from www.cameragrip.co.uk

Not to be confused with the optical or electronic stabilizers built in most modern camcorders, which are designed to help stop camera shake when handheld in a static position.
The stabilizers below work in a similar way to the * "Steadicam" stabilizing systems which enable the operator to move around with the camcorder and still get stable pictures.  
( * Steadicam is a registered trade mark )
These handheld counterbalanced systems have a free moving handle which prevents hand movement going through the camera, giving a floating affect similar to a tracking shot.

HAGUE Mini Motion-Cam Stabilizer
Product code MMC   £51.02 exc.vat  £59.95 inc.vat
plus £7.50 Next day delivery (UK Mainland only)

The new Hague Mini Motion-Cam is a handheld stabilizing system which is ideal for small lightweight camcorders under 0.8kg. in weight.
 

Buying direct from the manufacturer has brought the cost of this counterbalance stabilizing unit down to a price you can afford, yet it is still as effective, if not  better, than some of the other stabilizers currently on the market.

The crucial part of any stabilizer is the gimble, as it is essential that the handle is totally free moving. The Hague Mini Motion-Cam's gimble has a highly polished ball with a nylon socket ensuring super free movement. This makes it far superior and more effective than any other "ball type" stabilizer on the market.

The camcorder fits directly onto the stabilizer with adjustment for moving the camera forward and back for balancing.
At the bottom of the Mini Motion-Cam is an adjustable counterbalance platform with weights. Once balanced it is quick and simple to level off the camera.
A selection of counterbalance weights are supplied for balancing the different weights of camcorder.
The Hague Mini Motion-Cam is made of aluminium with zinc plated counterbalance weights. 

Suitable for all makes of lightweight handheld camcorders up to 0.8kg.
Approx size: - Length 19cm. x Width 3.5cm. x Height 27cm. 
Weight: - 300g. plus counterbalance weights. Colour Black.

Optional: 
MINI MOTION-CAM BALANCE CORRECTION PLATE
Product code MMCP   £8.51 exc.vat  £10.00 inc.vat 
Unfortunately not all camcorder manufacturers put the tripod mounting hole at  the centre of balance on the camera, which means the camcorder could be front or back heavy, or the mounting hole could be offset to the side on the camcorder. Larger batteries or a wide angle lens will also affect balance and although the Mini Motion-Cam has been designed to have plenty of adjustment to allow for this, on some camcorders it may be necessary to use the Balance Correction Plate. If you find the camcorder will not move far enough either back or forward, or the adjustable weight plate is fully to one side and you are still not getting the stabilizer balanced correctly, you will need the correction plate.
The correction plate simply screws onto the base of the camcorder, there are several mounting holes in the plate to mount it to the Motion-Cam  to correct the balance.
