年度最佳创新设计：Manfrotto ModoSteady 585 |
|
 |
The Manfrotto ModoSteady 585 is a smart, versatile camera support tool that can be used in a variety of ways. Primarily it’s a counter-balancing stabilizer to be used while operating a camcorder. When balanced well – taking into account the weight and the centre of gravity of the camcorder – it’s an accomplished stabilizer that offers smooth, shake-free shots when panning and tracking. It also functions as a shoulder brace – just twist the assembly and you have a firm support to lock the camera into your shoulder. If that’s not enough, it can also be used as a table-top tripod – simply fold out the handle and a firm tripod for stills or video is created. The ModoSteady is truly a multi-functional camera support system that not only offers great versatility, but also works very effectively in all its guises. |
