製品の特徴

• AI Camera and Instant Tracking

  The iSteady MT3 Pro Kit features a built-in AI camera and a powerful AI model for intelligent tracking of people, pets, vehicles, or any subject. Simply make an "OK" gesture, and the AI will lock onto your subject within seconds, without requiring an app. This ensures your subject remains perfectly centered during follow shots, tracking shots, or orbital shots.

• Detachable Live Feed Remote and CCT/RGB Fill Light

  The 1.4-inch touchscreen remote control can be mounted on the rotary handle or held separately, providing wireless control up to 10 meters. This allows you to control and frame your shots from any angle. The integrated CCT and RGB fill light offers stepless adjustment of color temperature and brightness via the side wheel or touchscreen, enabling you to set the perfect mood for any scene.

• Bidirectional Rotary Handle and Spot Mini Follow Focus Motor

  The gimbal features a rotary handle that securely holds the detachable remote, providing single-handed access to all settings. It supports two shooting modes: briefcase mode for low angles and one-handed use, and side handle mode for panning and two-handed control. The integrated Follow Focus motor allows precise adjustment of focus or zoom via the side wheel, enabling dynamic zooms and cinematic focus shifts.
