camera stabilizer

Anti-shake filming rig

A camera stabilizer is a device that reduces unwanted camera movement during filming, producing smoother footage.

Stabilizers range from simple handheld gimbals to elaborate vest-and-arm systems like the Steadicam.

The technology allows camera operators to walk, run, or navigate uneven terrain while maintaining fluid shots that would otherwise require dolly tracks or cranes.
