ATTENTION
All versions of the product are intended exclusively for professional use and may only be used by
skilled personnel.
Every user should read and understand the operating instructions and the user manual. Use the
product only for the purpose described in this document. Always follow the instructions and system
requirements for all equipment involved.
What is it?
TRINITY 2 is a 5 axis hybrid camera stabilizer system, which enables very special camera movements
including 360° rotation on the camera's lens axis.
What does it do?
Any influences from the movement of the user, which can negatively affect the image, are completely
eliminated by the TRINTY 2 system.
In addition, the user can directly influence the position of the camera in space and in relation to the
object.
How does it work?
A combination of mechanical and electronic stabilization ensures perfect image quality and the joystick
control opens up countless creative possibilities. Automated motion sequences of the TRINTY 2 ensure
precise reproduction of tracking shots.
