Congratulations on your new M-1!
Dear Friends,
There have been three generations of Steadicam® operators since we began it all in 1976.
Thousands of us have graced tens of thousands of movies and shows with the unique visual
music of Steadicam—played worldwide on seven generations of Steadicam equipment.
Many of our innovations—think extendable monitor and battery, no-tools clamps and
integral super post—became industry must-haves, but our exclusive tilt-head and motorized
stage remain essential to the very highest standard of Steadicam precision.
And now my inventing colleagues at Tiffen have raised the bar once again and I'm proud to
report that nearly all aspects of modern operating—mechanical, electronic, artistic,
ergonomic and political—are augmented and advanced.
M-1 is for Modular—user-configurable, upgradable, swappable—with a host of superbly
engineered new features:
Ultra-rigid post, stage and base
Vernier-drive tilt-head
Super-precise removable gimbal
Indexed center post with custom hi-amp bayonet connectors
Quick-release camera plate system with patented safety latch
Monitor mounts instantly to any post
Super-adjustable monitor and battery pivots
3x true HD video lines and 10 hi-amp power ports
Industry-best level-keeping, hi-def and voltage options
In short, the M-1 is brilliant—rigid, precise, tool-free, super-adjustable and fast.
Above all, it is infinitely configurable and as close to future-proof as a rig can be.
Good luck with your new Steadicam M-1 and good shooting!
I think it's the best Steadicam ever... Where was this baby when I needed it?
