The Movcam SkyLine is a new monitor leveling system for Steadicam that allows a monitor to automatically rotate so that an operator can easily view an image from any angle.
Key features
- Keeps the monitor level at all times for accurate framing
- Lightweight yet robust build – only 670 g
- Power and BNC pass‑through for continuous rotation
- Compatible with standard Steadicam mounts
- Quick to install and easy to fine‑tune on the fly
SkyLine has two operating modes:
- When used with a Steadicam, as currently mentioned on your website, the monitor automatically stays level. SkyLine is compatible with all major brands of Steadicam-style systems. We offer various adapter rings or we can provide custom solutions.
- When used with a Crane, the monitor does not stay level at all times. Instead, it automatically adjusts to a more comfortable viewing angle for the operator as the crane moves through different positions. This is one of SkyLine’s key innovations.
This looks to be a nice solution for use on Stedicams, cranes, and jibs.
Movcam’s SkyLine monitor leveling system keeps your monitor perfectly level, no matter the sled position. It’s an ideal solution for Steadicam operators using Cyclo, AR, the RollRig, Rock‑a‑bye, or anyone who needs to switch quickly from normal to low mode.
Weighing just 670 g, it remains extremely lightweight while still offering integrated power and BNC pass‑through, allowing an unlimited number of rotations without cable disruption. The adjustable length and straightforward balancing make setup fast and repeatable with virtually any monitor.
