User Submission - Long Boarding with Tony

A great example of what can be done on a super low budget. No need for an expensive camera dolly, simply strap on some inline skates, grab the MiniDV Stabilizer and off you go. "I'm using the Canon HF S20 with a WD-H58 wide angle adapter, and my new Balvanz MiniDV Stabilizer . I shot in 60i Program mode, set to vivid color. And of course, inline skates."

Back up and running

We are officially back up and running folks. We've settled in to our new location and already have a few of the standard MiniDV Stabilizer units available. We hope to have the Pros available sometime tomorrow as we are just waiting on a batch of Off-Set plates . Thanks for your patience.

Introducing the Main Tube Foam Grip

Image
We are proud to introduce our new product the Main Tube Foam Grip . Giving you more control, stability and sensitivity than ever before. The main tube foam grip supplies it all. The larger diameter of the grip allows for finer panning adjustment. The soft grip reduces vibrations transferred from your hands. And to top it all off we are giving the first 10 away FREE! So how do I get one, you ask? Simply post a video online reviewing, demonstrating, or shooting, using your MiniDV Stabilizer . Videos should be at least 1-2 minutes long, and include a link to BalvanzEnterprises.com at the end of the video as well as in the description. After you're done uploading your video, email us with your name and address to CustomerSupport@BalvanzEnterprises.com , and we will send you one.
