The patent pending Atlas 30 (formerly Pegasus Heavy Lifter) uses 5/8" chromed steel rods and a body precision machined from a single block of aluminum. It was developed in collaboration with the studio crew from Stillmotion.ca to meet their needs for rapid setup, rock solid stabiltiy, silky slow movements, light weight and compactness for air travel.

The system is designed for ultra-smooth movements on loads up to 30lbs using long even long focal length lenses, and will accept heavier loads up to 45lbs with no complaints.

The system uses a highly refined steel ball bearing system. It can be broken down by hand for easy transport. As of June 22, 2010, all Atlas 30 units have a 100mm bowl integrated into them, making the unit lighter, stronger, and less expensive!

This system does not come with a ball. We recommend using the Cinevate 100mm ball which has a short tightening rod, providing you with the clearance needed for desk top applications.
