Pro Gear stabilizer arm history and origins of similar products
15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Pro Gear, also known as Sprint, was a Danish company that sold stabilizer components primarily through online marketplaces around 2004-2005 before ceasing operations.
- The Flycam Prophet Pro stabilizer was created by the same manufacturer behind the Basson rig.
- Movcam stabilizer equipment has been reported to have various usage and safety issues affecting multiple major components.
Depends on
- The Pro Gear information is based on incomplete recollection from forum participants rather than documented sources.
- No confirmation was provided regarding whether Basson sleds featured the same design as shown in the Flycam listing.
- The connection between Movcam and the Flycam Prophet Pro was speculated but not definitively established in the discussion.
- The warning about Movcam products is from a single distributor's support page and may not represent all markets or current status.
