3-axis gimbal rigs are some of the coolest devices\u00a0taking over the industry, and the latest models just keep getting better.\u00a0Prepare to have your mind blown.<\/h2>\n

Not too long ago, getting a steady moving shot was either going to be incredibly difficult or very\u00a0expensive. For\u00a0decades, Steadicam<\/a> dominated the industry. Then cheaper devices started appearing on\u00a0the market.<\/p>\n

The early 1990s saw the release of the first Glidecam<\/a>, which continues to become a smaller and more agile device. Now tools like the MoVI<\/a> and Ronin<\/a> have been\u00a0embraced by the independent and small-budget market. Not only are theses devices\u00a0gaining popularity on\u00a0set, they were capturing incredible shots.<\/p>\n

Now there is a new hybrid system combining the best of the Steadicam<\/strong> with the technology of devices like the MoVI:\u00a0<\/strong>the\u00a0Artemis Trinity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Artemis Maxima<\/a>\u00a0is a lightweight gimbal that can hold just about any camera up to 30kg (66 lbs). The Maxima<\/strong> also features weight compensation, meaning users will not have to rebalance when changing lenses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It also allows users to perform a vertical swivel up to 90 degrees<\/strong>, which means the camera can turn a corner without the operator. The Maxima<\/strong> is controlled by a highly precise joystick mounted either on the device or held remotely.<\/p>\n

The Maxima<\/strong> includes a 1.5 inch OLED screen that allows the user to toggle between operating modes and monitoring battery life. The device is also easily updated by a micro SD card.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most exciting note, the Maxima<\/strong>\u00a0has been designed to be used either handheld or attached to a stabilizer<\/strong>. The gimbal\u00a0will set you back at least $17,890 or \u20ac15850<\/p>\n
