Congratulations on the purchase of your
Camtrol Video Camera Stabilizing
Quadpod.
We are sure you will be as delighted to use it as we are proud of producing it.
Your
Camtrol Video Camera Stabilizing Quadpod
is a major step forward in providing the
quality of photography and cinematography that you would expect from a unit costing
thousands of dollars.
Camtrol has been developed with the two major principles that video camera stabilizers
work on: Center of Gravity and Moment of Inertia. By controlling these two forces, the
shooter prevents unwanted jerking and shaking (AKA Tilt, Pan, and Roll) . Camtrol
increases the mass of the camera by adding weight under the camera. With increased
mass the moment of inertia is now increased, thus reducing minor and medium shakes
and controlling the stabilization of the camera.
We also have moved the Center of Gravity to a point below the camera. This gives more
control of the camera in the hands of the shooter for smoother, more stable, and more
controllable moving shots.
