STEADICAM Elite – Newsshooter
The STEADICAM Elite was built for operators who want a mid-sized solution without stepping into full-size rig territory.
It features a 30 lb / 14kg payload capacity, a rigid unibody top stage, and a 3-Axis Volt gimbal. It is claimed to deliver precise control, smarter ergonomics, and integrated electronic stabilization in a streamlined form.

Integrated 3-Axis Volt with Pan Control
The Elite transforms stabilization from passive balance into active control assistance, not only helping maintain horizon during long takes and dynamic moves but giving the ability to control rotational inertia for pan stability, opening up a whole new world of tracking and whip pans, and long lens work.
12V/24V Power Distribution at 8A
Elite supports 12V with hot-swappable and 24V selectable power distribution, no external adapters.
30 lb / 14kg Camera Payload Capacity
This enables operators to carry production-ready camera packages instead of stripped-down versions.
Rigid Unibody Top Stage
Strong torsional rigidity is claimed to reduce vibration transfer, allowing increased capacity and strength for a greater variety of builds.
Fine-Adjust Stage Controls
There are side mounting controls for speed and ease of access for making precision adjustments.
Dual Sliding & Pivoting Battery Mounts
Allows for easier dynamic balance and optimal monitor and battery positioning.
Universal Yoke-Style Monitor Mounts
Elite supports a wide range of monitor sizes and viewing configurations for every operator preference, including 9×16 aspect ratio placement.
