The outstanding recording quality of modern action cameras permits sharp wide-angle shots in 4k or full HD, but also ideally requires camera work that is absolutely steady and vibration-free. The Rollei Steady Butler Action as a fully-fledged action camera gimbal takes up to 640° pan shots, and provides many further practical functions. The fully automatic camera stabilizer, which weighs only a light 361 g, has state-of-the-art 3-axis stabilization and can be used in 4 operating modes. Either you grant full freedom of movement to the gimbal in all directions during accurate picture focusing, use only the pan function, trail the main subject gently in the All Follow mode or lock all three axes. While shooting you intuitively correct perspectives with the low-friction joystick and the sensitivity of the response can be precisely adjusted by means of the free app for iOS and Android.
Integrated power bank, mini tripod and creative time-lapse modes
However, the Rollei Steady Butler Action does not only provide in its motion for calm, fluid and crisp sharp videos. When it’s mounted on the mini tripod provided, it records impressive static time-lapse films or also facilitates dynamic time-lapse shots in a range of angles that can be precisely programmed in advance. The standardized 1/4" thread on the bottom fits nearly all commercial stands and an additional 1/4" drilled hole on the side is intended for the mounting of further accessories such as the Rollei articulated stand, for instance, in order to be able to train video lights, microphones or other accessories on the subject. A particularly practical item of equipment is hidden inside the handle: A rechargeable 4,000 mAh lithium ion battery supplies your action camera or your smartphone with fresh energy directly at the shooting location. The sturdy mounting plate does not only accommodate all current Rollei action cameras, but is also fully compatible with the GoPro Hero models 3, 4, 5 and 6. Of course, the scope of delivery also includes a sturdy carrying bag, a USB charging cable and detailed operating instructions.
