About Us
Sergey Avdonin is a Steadicam operator
with over 20 years of experience in film
and advertising.
He has hundreds of projects under his belt and has worked with a wide variety of cameras, from classic film-cameras to modern digital. This experience helped him understand one essential thing: perfect equipment should become an extension of the operator, not just a tool in their hands.
It was this principle that became the foundation of his own stabilizer.
The first sketches appeared back in 2004, and today his development has evolved into one of the lightest and most well-designed Steadicams in the world. The construction is 70% carbon fiber, making the system incredibly durable yet surprisingly light and balanced.
The stabilizer was created with the understanding of how crucial it is for equipment not to fail at a critical moment during a shoot.
On this website, you can not only learn more about our system but also purchase everything you need for your work: the sled, arm, and vest.
We are always ready to help you with your selection and answer any questions you may have - because we understand the importance of details.
