Telestream, www.telestream.net Anton/Bauer STASIS FLEX Anton/Bauer’s Stasis Flex camera support redirects the geometry of a handheld camera by redistributing its weight onto the operator’s torso and shoulder. Introduced at NAB and on display at DV Expo, the support’s design enables a camera operator to shoot in virtually any position, taking the weight off the operator’s hand, relieving fatigue and stabilizing shooting. Stasis Flex can be used as a standalone unit, with Anton/ Bauer’s ElipZ or with a Gold Mount system.
