The CAME-Prophet is the successor to our very successful CAME-Argo gimbal. Both the Prophet and Argo are designed to support small to medium sized DSLRs with a maximum payload of 6.6 lbs (3 kg). However, while the Argo contains a dedicated 2-handed setup, the Prophet comes with a single handed pistol grip handle (similar to the CAME-Optimus), but with the option to use them with a variety of compatible two-handed accessories - including the Orbit-Two Ring Mount, Dual Handles and Tessera

This listing does not come with a battery or charger allowing the customer to use existing batteries or  purchase a Sony BP style battery from the open market (Prophet battery is not a proprietary design). By not including the battery and charger, we are able to pass the savings on to you and also minimizes shipping issues.

The updated frame design also allows for the Prophet Gimbal to be operated completely inverted or underslung. The pan motor can be configured on either side of the camera to provide efficient cable routing and access to either side of the camera. All motors rotate a full 360 degrees without limitation for greater range and flexibility during operation.

The Prophet model also features encoders helps extend battery running time and allows quick and easy calibration. The battery life can run up to 10 hours on a single charge. The single handle has a built in Joystick.

The CAME-Prophet has a Manfrotto 501PL compatible quick release camera plate along with tool-less adjustments for easy and fast camera balancing. Just like our battery, the QR plate is not a proprietary design which allows you to use existing compatible plates or purchase locally.
