Tiffen has announced the availability of the Steadicam G-70×2 Arm, which the company says is the result of decades of experience and input from top Steadicam operators combined with the latest engineering and component technology.
The new G-70×2 includes features and functions that significantly enhance reliability, durability, safety, set-up speed, and smooth stabilisation, said the company.
Ready to lift from 13-lbs/5.9kg to 70-lbs/31.75kg, the G-70×2 offers a 29″/737mm boom range and a host of operating updates, it added.
The new dual bearing mounted ¾” arm post, with no-tools rotational locking and drag control, promotes quick adjustability from a solid lock off to free rotation of the arm post, even when changing posts.
The Arm also includes a rigid pivoting steel Socket Block, eliminating the flex inherent in traditional rod ends, said the company, and offering more precise sled positioning, with faster set-ups and on-the-fly adjustments, without removing the arm.
Additionally, the popular kickback link which gets the arm further out of the way as the sled crosses the operator’s body, now features a multi-position socket block to locate the arm in the most convenient position, whether operating front- or back-mounted, said Tiffen.
