ZeeGee Demo with Neal Bryant, SOC

A technical demonstration of the capabilities of the ZeeGee and examples of it in action in shows such as the Last Of Us.

The ZeeGee is a three axis center of gravity camera head for handheld look. It provides freedom of movement in the pan, tilt, and unlike similar products, the roll axis, replicating the look and feel of handheld operation combined with the stability, boom range, and weight displacement of the Steadicam arm. This combination offers operators, DP's and directors a unique look that's unmistakably handheld without the shake, limited range, and operator fatigue of doing multiple takes over standard handheld operation.
