Cine Gear Expo 2016: CAME-TV Interview By Gear Addix
We were luck enough to have the Gear Addix crew pass by our booth and film a little interview on some of the CAME-TV Gimbals that we showcased at the 2016 Cine Gear Expo!
The size of the CAME-Single is perfect for mirror-less cameras such as the Panasonic GH4, Sony A7s | A7RII, and BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Cameras. The encoders on the CAME-Single prevent motors from losing synchronization, provides important information about frame and camera angles, decreases power consumption (longer battery life), increases Torque and precision of stabilization.
The Optimus model also features encoders and allows for one hand operation, but with all of the controls and battery now relocated outside of the handle, the single handle can be changed to Dual Handles depending on the camera operator's requirement. All motors rotate a full 360 degrees without limitation for greater range and flexibility during operation.
The CAME-Mini 3 is our latest edition to the CAME-MINI Gimbal Series. The new Mini 3 uses basecam 32 bit controllers with encoders. All of the wiring and electronics are completely enclosed into the frame, offering a clean professional appearance and protecting the wiring.

CAME-TV Optimus Gimbal Test Video By Dieter Knüttel
Vimeo user, Dieter Knüttel uploaded his first test video on the new CAME-Optimus 3-axis gimbal! He filmed it with the Panasonic GH4 and Lumix 12-35mm lens. Dieter, does state in the description of the video that the shaky part at 0:52 seconds is due to his hand touching the seat and not a caused by the Optimus.
The CAME-Optimus is the successor to our very successful CAME-Single gimbal.

How do I charge my gimbal’s wireless remote?
Many of our newer gimbals such as the CAME-Single, Mini 3, Argo, etc. now come with a wireless remote that allows you to toggle between profiles and control its pan/tilt movements. To charge the remote, you'll simply need a Micro USB cable and plug it into any wall outlet or portable USB charger. These Micro USB cables are very common, as they are the same type that charge many Android smartphones and numerous other mobile accessories.
What are the maximum payloads of all your gimbals?
A few common questions that we receive from customers regarding our gimbals are (A) Does my camera & lens combo work? and (B) What is the gimbal's maximum payload?
Though this information can be found on all of our gimbals' respective product pages, below you will see a quick index showing the appropriate camera types along with the maximum payloads that each gimbal is designed to support.
CAME-Prophet
Cameras supported - Medium-sized DSLR cameras, including Canon 5D/7D Series, Panasonic GH4, Sony A7r/A7s series, etc.
Maximum Payload (including lens & accessories): 6.6 lbs / 3 kg
CAME-8000
Cameras supported - Larger camera setups, including BMCC, CANON C100/C300, RED EPIC, CANON 5D Series/7D Series, etc.
Maximum Payload (including lens & accessories): 11 lbs / 4.9 kg
CAME-TV Prodigy
Cameras supported -Larger camera setups, including SONY FS7, BlackMagic Design URSA MINI, RED RAVEN, RED EPIC, CANON C100/C300, CANON 5D Series / 7D Series, etc.
Maximum Payload (including lens & accessories): 15lbs / 7kg.
CAME-7500/7800/ARGO
Cameras supported - Medium-sized DSLR cameras, including Canon 5D/7D Series, Panasonic GH4, Sony A7r/A7s series, etc.

Note regarding lens adapters: We strongly suggest that only native lenses be combined with your cameras while being mounted on these gimbals. Lens adapters such as metabones will add excess weight to the setup (plus usually attached to heavier lenses), which will exceed the max payload, and prevent your gimbal from balancing properly.
