Dampers prove very effective when shooting on rougher terrain (springs don’t “bottom out”).

The Maxi Shock Absorber is for use with gyro stabilized heads to reduce  high & low frequency vibrations and hard impact shocks during high  speed chases on rough and bumpy terrain. The best results are achieved  when used with the Iso-Dampener.
The Maxi Shock Absorber allows for  individual adjustment and setting, depending on the choice of stabilized  head and taking into consideration the terrain of the shooting environment. 

The Mini Shock Absorber is for use with gyro stabilized heads to reduce  high & low frequency vibrations and semi-hard impact shocks during  high speed chases and rough crane moves. The best results are achieved  when used with the Iso Dampener.
