The total weight of the rig is 1300g with the suspension, the craddle, the Konica Hexar, and video.
 
The suspension comprises the holding bar, the pendulum, the stabilizing bow.
The craddle comprises the hoop, the Konica, the radio unit.
 
Built early 2000, after the experience of a craddle with the Leica minilux; this later been found not well suitable for kap, I wished to have a multi-orientation craddle for the Konica Hexar. Being heavier, (490g), this type of craddle needed a better stiffness of the hoop.
Tilt and frame are mounted with cog-wheel system. The pan is actionned by a zoom camcorder motor.
