A control board for brushless motor with its inertial center, 3 brushless motors, 3 laser projectors with their power supply, a ball joint support, a quick plate,
3 handles and a carbon frame.
• A support for placing or using the steadycam on a table correctly.
• A USB webcam with its support parts to adapt to the steadycam.
• A digital camera for video recording.
• An SD card.
• A USB connection cable.
• A set of 2 weights of 200 g.
• A set of 2 magnets for weight fixation.
• A battery charger.
• A CD-ROM including STI2D and SSI pedagogy:
technical file, teacher's file, student's file, activities and their corrections as well as SysMl modeling, complete SolidWorks®, Mecha3D models and Matlab® and Simulink® multi-physics models.

This gyroscopic stabilizer or also called Steadycam is ideal for creating professional video sequences.
It will allow incredibly stable shots regardless of shooting situations thanks to its 3 motors and its inertial center.
Made entirely of carbon, it is lightweight and ready to use.
With its 3 lithium-ion batteries, its autonomy will allow extended use.
It is equipped with a quick plate to facilitate the disassembly of the recording device.
This steadycam also has a ball joint support to attach a monitor or smartphone (not included) to facilitate shooting.
