Description
The BLKBRD Mantis Quad Tube is an essential upgrade for any EasyRig user. When shooting heavy handheld setups, operators often battle the “walking bounce” that transfers into the footage. The Mantis acts as a premium kinematic dampener, isolating the camera from vertical body movement and delivering the controlled, fluid look of a Steadicam or gimbal while maintaining the organic feel of handheld operating.
The “Quad Tube” configuration is BLKBRD’s most advanced setup. By using an extended elastic circuit, it significantly increases your boom range and widens the “sweet spot” for vertical stabilization.
Key Features for Operators:
- Total Payload Flexibility: This kit comes complete with three interchangeable elastic sets: Heavy (28-38 lbs / 12.7-17.2 kg), Medium (15-30 lbs / 6.8-13.6 kg), and Light (10-18 lbs / 4.5-8.2 kg). You can swap bands in minutes to match your camera build.
- Eliminates Footstep Bounce: Acts as a shock absorber between your EasyRig cord and the camera, instantly smoothing out tracking shots and uneven terrain.
- Seamless EasyRig Integration: Mounts directly to your existing EasyRig system (Cinema, Vario 5, Stabil, or Minimax) using the included adapters, with no permanent modifications required.
- MagLock Quick Connect: Features auto-locking magnetic hooks that allow you to securely attach and release your camera rig in seconds while retaining the ability to tilt freely.
- Reduced Operator Fatigue: By taking the brunt of the shock absorption, the Mantis drastically reduces back and shoulder strain during long shooting days.
