“The Smoothee received outstanding reviews at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show this past January” said Hilary Araujo, vice president marketing for Tiffen. “We’re very proud of this incredible new Steadicam and excited that Tiffen will be able to make it available for consumers, so that anyone can take great videos the very first time,” continued Araujo.
The lightweight, agile, and easy to use Steadicam Smoothee features an innovative, patented design built around a durable mono-frame metal structure that requires no complicated instructions to begin using. With its “go anywhere” compact dimensions, the Steadicam Smoothee is approximately 8”W x 14.5” H x 2.5” D (20.3 x 36.8 x 6.4cm) in operating configuration.
