The Beholder DS1 Gimbal for Select DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras is a 3-axis gyro stabiliser with brushless motors. It supports cameras such as Sony A7, GH4, G7 Series, Canon 5D, 6D, 7D, GX7, NEX Series, and DMC Series cameras. It features a quick release baseplate that makes it simple and easy to swap out the camera. Additionally, the baseplate can be adjusted, without tools, for precise balance. This can be especially useful when changing lenses.
The DS1 features four selectable stabilising modes: follow, lock, inverted, and briefcase. Beyond just stabilising, the DS1 allows you to adjust pan and tilt via a small joystick incorporated into the handgrip. It incorporates a USB port, which you can use to power a small LED light (not included), or charge your smartphone. The handle houses the three 2600mAh batteries, which can typically power the DS1 for approximately 2 to 3 hours.
