ARRI Maxima MX30

The MAXIMA MX30 is a 3-axis electronically stabilized gimbal, suitable for a wide range of users. With MAXIMA, the creativity of filmmakers need not be stifled by camera length or weight limitations.

The MAXIMA gimbal is a crucial component of TRINITY, though it is also available separately as the MX30 – a 3-axis electronically stabilized gimbal. Its slick, lightweight design and perfect center of gravity provide new levels of freedom, while the stable construction allows any camera system with a total weight of up to 30 kg to be used.

At the center of the unique design is an extremely durable ball bearing roll cage, as well as specially designed brushless motors. Optimized bearings and high torque ensure that there is always enough power in reserve, no matter how demanding the application. Carefully selected components enable seamless, reliable operation and impressive heat resistance.

Direct and intuitive handling of this high-capacity gimbal is managed by a 32 bit multiprocessor; additional slave RISC processor support means multi-sensor data is processed without losses. The maximum angular deviation is just 0.05 degrees. In addition to a variety of preconfigured profiles, customized profiles can also be added.

The 1.5” OLED screen allows users to keep tabs on the operating mode and battery status, and to quickly toggle between different profiles. ‘On the fly’ configuration of software setups and rapid changes between the five customized camera settings can be done via the smart GUI, while bigger setup alterations and software updates can be implemented via USB.

Changes of angle are achieved with a highly sensitive and ultra-precise joystick mounted at the outer frame of MAXIMA, close to the handles. An optional bidirectional 2.4 GHz wireless remote control is also available, allowing tilt, pan and roll movements. The intelligent software and precise hardware enable vertical swivels of up to 90 degrees.
