SmartSystem Matrix One bundle / Matrix one R2 bundle - thoughs ?

[Vladimir Dolezel]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to buy my first steadicam,  and I was thinking about the Archer 2 steadicam set with g-50 arm, but then I found the Matrix One Ultra bundle from Smartsystem. 

Does anybody have any experience with the Smartsystem Matrix One bundles? Is it comparable with other professional brands (gpi pro, tiffen etc)? I prefer using it as a normal Steadicam. Ronin 2 compatibility is something like a bonus only. 

Did somebody try it with the Ronin 2 on it?

Hey Vlad!

I own a SmartSystem Matrix R2 sled and a Ronin 2.  I use the sled for both the hybrid set up and standard steadicam set up.   Highly recommend!  Very affordable system with a great quality build for the money.
