Motion Dogs, creators of the open source Lenzhound Wireless Follow Focus, today announced the release of their innovative gimbal balance tool, the Procyon Z43 for Ronin M and MX gimbal stabilizers. In the quest for achieving perfect balance on a gimbal, the Procyon Z43 Gimbal Balance Locator is the new way to dial in the exact center of gravity. It gives users the ability to precisely set the fore-and-aF posi#on of the camera plate. The unit is being offered at a special introductory price of $89.50 USD.

The Z43 Balance Locator is simple to use and saves balancing #me on set. It provides immediate and continuous access to fine tune the camera locaton fore-and-aF. The Procyon jaws securely grip the Ronin camera base plate. By loosening the socket cap screw on the Ronin base clamp, control is transferred to the lead screw of this rad liUle gimbal dog. This eliminates the inefficient routine of repeatedly clamping and unclamping the Ronin camera base and the hit-or-miss balance results.

PROBLEM SOLVED

“We had been seeing the need for a balance locator on our own rig. That’s where these things typically start,” said Daniel Arbogast, VP and Chief Technical Officer at Motion Dogs. “Turns out the idea had some trac#on with beta testers so, off we went. We’re all about solving the same problems that we see a lot of other people running into out there.”
