MVG220

In an era where professional videographers and vloggers are looking to produce original and dynamic footage that’s still smooth in-camera, Manfrotto brings its decades of expertise to the table by unveiling an all-new line of handheld stabilizers. This collection of 3-Axis gimbals offers a premium quality and quick to setup solution that is compatible with most CSC & DSLR cameras on the market. Designed with LCD touchscreen controls that can easily adjust your camera's settings as well as a quick action button that instantly trigger functions like timelapse, vertical shooting for social media, and selfie mode, these Gimbals offer users quick and intuitive handling for creating quality shots.

Both of Manfrotto’s gimbals also come with a quick-release plate design compatible with the Arca-Swiss standard which allows users to quickly and easily transfer their cameras between their favourite gear without having to recalibrate the system once they reattach them to the gimbal. But to ensure that setup is always quick, for example when changing lenses, the gimbals also feature 3-Axis independent locking that lets shooters quickly and easily calibrate their gimbal when changing setups.

Targeted at mirrorless camera setups, Gimbal 220 features a maximum payload weight of up to 2.2kg and a detachable versatile arm that switches between a single handle and an underslung position in order to capture even the most diverse shooting angles. The 220 also comes in a Pro Kit version which features a follow focus allowing for greater creative control and the ability to create more stylized shots when using manual focus.

Gimbal 460 Kit - Designed for Professional Camera Systems in Motion

For users that work with larger and more complex camera systems, Manfrotto offers the Gimbal 460 which is capable of stabilizing DSLR and Cinema Camera setups with a maximum payload of 4.6kg. The Gimbal Pro Kit version comes complete with follow focus and a remote controller which essentially turns the gimbal into a fully remote operated video head.

GimBoom was designed to empower users to manoeuvre their gimbals in ways that they would otherwise need drones or complicated dolly systems to accomplish. Featuring state of the art Fast Twisting Lock Technology the Gimboom deploys instantly with a simple twisting motion that locks or adjusts it into various positions so shooters can easily capture a larger range of shots including aerial views and ground-level shooting that would be impossible with just a handheld rig.

In the field the GimBoom’s extended range of 1.15m allows creators to choose from a large variety of aerial angles when composing their shots. And weighing just 800g and with a closed length of 51cm, GimBoom is also exceptionally compact and lightweight making it easy to bring along wherever you travel due to its hand baggage compatible size.
