VariZoom Prolite Review by P3Update Magazine
David Hurd, with P3Update. "Test Drive" - "Always, I have firmly believed in using the right tool for the job. Recently, a director sent me the shot list for an upcoming video shoot. On his list was a full day of shooting with constant camera movement. I had a couple of weeks to prep, so I had VariZoom send me on of their ProLite vest supported stabilizers. From the moment I opened the custom fitted rolling case I knew I had made the right decision.

Dual Articulated Arm - The dual arm system is lightweight and highly dynamic. It can bear cameras 2-12 pounds swiftly and smoothly and offers up to 38" of vertical travel. Twenty-two precision bearings and four springs ensure silent, zero-failure performance.

Precision Gear Drive Stage - Micro-adjustable gear drive stage enables extremely precise tuning of horizontal balance. Quick-release dovetail camera plate allows rapid setup and breakdown in the field.

Power, Vision, Balance - At the base of the sled, a 7" 16:9 color monitor serves as a large external viewfinder. A proprietary Li-Ion battery w/ LED capacity indicator is standard (V-lock & AB mounts available on request at no extra charge). The monitor and batteries serve as counterweight for vertical balance and their positions can be adjusted for fine-tuning.

Custom Rolling Case - A form-cut foam insert protects and secures the system components inside, while the wheeled case with telescoping handle ensures effortless transport. Padded carry pouches hold the toolkit, cables, and monitor.

Options - The ProLite comes standard with a sophisticated Li-Ion battery system, but if you prefer to use your own V-lock or Anton Bauer, or we can substitute the appropriate mount at no extra charge. The ProLite comes standard with a 7" 16:9 monitor. If you have any other special requests, then give us a call and we'll be glad to discuss your needs. Because these units are hand crafted and assembled, the options are wide open.
