But we didn’t rest there. We wanted to take it even further with even greater control so that fine-tuning your rig is easier than ever. 

We've made it more compact while increasing its muscle power. The frame is much stronger, and the new custom spring together with a carbon-fibre bolt runner doubles the maximum payload up to 500grams (17.6oz) If your payload is under 300grams (11oz) you will need counterweights from our Micro Pro 2 Extras kit or some of the other Extras kits to bring the payload to between 300g and 500g (11oz-17oz) for best smoothing

Let’s have a look at why we think you’ll find this so indispensable. 

Firstly, we’ve almost completely done away with making adjustments with the Allen key. This was ok for the Pocket Micro as once it was set you rarely needed to make adjustments. But if you’re going between say a GoPro Hero 8 and your Osmo Pocket 1 we’ve now included adjustment knobs to make it quick and easy for you. Adjust the spring tension here and then adjust the bounce damping here.

We’ve also added a two-part fully articulated handle that allows you to shoot in any number of positions from the single handle to the upright balanced position to the smoothest shooting of the inverted mode. With a 360 cam, you can capture those

epic shots while at the same time stabilizing the Z axis. Or, just use it as a stabilized selfie stick to give your Pocket a wider angle for your vlogging.

We've got plenty of experience making 4th Axis or Z-Axis stabilizers for bigger rigs so we knew we could come up with a great solution that not only worked great but was also still compact. After a lot of prototypes, we've been able to craft a solution that exceeded all our expectations and we're so excited to share it with you! 

We are the innovators

Common Z-Axis stabilizers have a problem. When speeding up or slowing down, those z-axes can bounce uncontrollably, making parts of the footage unusable. Back when we started there were no handheld Z-Axis stabilizers with bounce damping and as such, they had a bad rep among the pros. That's when we designed our proprietary fluid damping system that gave us the edge in effective smoothing.

All our stabilizers (even including our Micro Pro 2 -  4th Axis) have adjustable bounce damping built-in. This takes a little longer to get used to than spring only stabilizers but once you get the hang of things you'll find the results are far superior. 

We've packed so much into this little package - here are some more great features:-

• It has two brass 1/4-20 attachment points for mounting to a tripod, monopod or even to attach gear like audio, micro lighting or even a battery pack!
• Why not put your Micro Pro 2 - 4th Axis on the end of a Mono-pod for those faux crane shots or to discreetly get above the crowd in a show! 
• You can invert the handle and easily get that creative dog's eye shooting angle without having to bend over!

Note: We find the best smoothing for light cams is achieved when combined with the counterweight set that we sell with our Micro Pro 2 Extras Kit which is excellent value
