Simple or Advanced
PAG has developed a camcorder support system that provides balance and mobility when shooting with any hand-held camcorder.

The system can be configured to provide a professional two-handed system with 3-axis camera control, for a range of professional shooting techniques, or a single-handed system, with a pan and tilt facility, for smaller camcorders.

Taking the Strain
Even a lightweight handheld camcorder can cause muscle fatigue after hours of shooting. The PAG Orbitor distributes the weight of the camcorder comfortably across the body, and provides a stable shooting platform that enables hours of use without fatigue.

Creative Shooting
Freedom of movement is achieved by a 3-axis mechanism, controlled by variable tension clutches, that enable you to pan, tilt and roll, smoothly. The camera feels weightless and control of its movement is effortless, requiring the lightest touch.

The system’s flexibility makes a large range of shots possible. The PAG Orbitor enables you to shoot with the camera at right-angles to your body, which is ideal for shooting in a car, or for tracking shots on a staircase. The PAG Orbitor is the most mobile, yet stable, shooting platform of its kind.

Professional Support
The camcorder is mounted to a quick-release sliding camera plate, which allows fine adjustment of its position to achieve the correct point of balance on the assembly.

Counterbalance
The camcorder is counterbalanced by a weight (supplied) mounted to the back-plate of the system’s shoulder pad assembly.

In place of the weight, a battery pack can be used, which will also power a camera light. The back-plate can be fitted with a PAGlok connector, enabling you to power the camcorder and the 12V Paglight M, via a DC Adaptor, using professional PAG 12V to 14.8V batteries.

Alternatively, the 6V battery, supplied as part of the Paglight C6 Kit, can be used to power both the camcorder and the Paglight C6, via a 6V to 7.2V DC Adaptor

Adjustable Shoulder Pad Assembly
The position of the shoulder pad assembly can be adjusted to fit any operator, and features a cushioned shoulder pad, to provide the maximum comfort during use. Adjustable straps secure the shoulder pad assembly to the waist belt, and maintain the ideal position during use.

Suspended Animation
The telescopic suspension rod provides support and fluid-control of the camera. It slots into a belt-mounted support pad.

The suspension rod assists greatly with extreme tilting shots, absorbs potential camera shake on tracking shots, and enables ‘hands-free’ resting between shots.

Professional Accessories
Wireless receivers, remote controls and viewing monitors can be easily clamped to the rigid but lightweight structure.

Portable
The PAG Orbitor is designed to disassemble quickly and easily into manageable parts, suitable for transportation.

Original Concept
The PAG Orbitor is derived from an original idea, developed by PAG, which was prompted by the release of the Canon XL1 in 1998. The prototype was displayed at IBC in the same year and the principle of its design is now incorporated in this latest version. Professional acceptance of smaller digital camcorders has prompted the release of this product.
