Camtrol Stabilizers at CES 2011

Cameras

We visited the Camtrol booth at CES 2011 to check out their series of camera stabilizing platforms and accessories. John Rowen introduces us to the product line and we check out the variety of mounting options.

Camtrol stabilizers excel in low shots, and have legs that fold out so you can set your rig down without it falling over or needing to be laid on its side. There are two versions, the Prime and the Grand. The Camtrol Prime is for smaller cameras and camcorders as well as iPhones… while the Camtrol Grand is suited for large DSLRS. The difference is in the size of the extension for the handle.

Camtrol products were also designed to allow the mounting of a thumb controlled remote, essentially giving you the ability to use any camera as though it had a top mounted handle and controls… something seriously lacking from DSLRs and compact camcorders.
