Levelpod makes it possible to get steady handheld shots.

Levelpod converts your 1 to 6 pound camcorder into a balanced handheld system. A balanced camcorder floats for smooth and steady shots.

Levelpod is balanced with its patent-pending counterweight. This stabilizes both the camcorder's tilt and horizon.

Held at the side, the right arm reduces vertical movement while the left hand guides the camcorder. Options include tilting the head down and/or extending the monopod horizontally.

Levelpod's counterweight folds up or down, converting it into a 24" to 80" monopod. To the center of the lens, that's almost 7 feet tall! Levelpod folds to 24" x 4" x 6", weighs under 4 lbs. and holds 18 lbs. Levelcam weighs under a pound, the padded shoulder strap is 8 oz. and the soft counterweights are 1, 2 and 3 lbs each.

Levelcam quick releases to be used alone for extreme handheld shots or mounts quickly to a tripod with an RC2 quick release. A RC2 quick release adapter retrofits your existing tripod.

Levelcam can be purchased and used separately.

Mount accessories like wireless mics, hard drives and batteries with the supplied bungee cords.
