The PIRO smart video stabilizer that was previously only available to professionals was launched this month. From the widespread popularity of selfie sticks to the emergence of handheld camera gimbals, the global handheld device market is going through another transformation. With the increasing popularity of live webcasts in 2016, videos are becoming increasingly important, making image stabilization technology-based handheld camera gimbals increasingly a must among consumers.
A gimbal is a pivot point that allows rotation along a single axis. The combination of three separate gimbals allows rotation along three different axes – namely a 3-axis gimbal – allowing smooth handheld video.
Shenzhen Areox Technologies plans to release a high quality handheld camera stabilizer, the PIRO Smart Gimbal, at this year’s Hong Kong Electronics Fair. Consumers care about what features and flexible designs a good handheld camera gimbal can offer while what the product can deliver in terms of advanced technology has set off a transformative round of innovation driven by what really matters top professionals.
Areox is a Chinese high-tech company principally engaged in research and development as well as production of electric multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and related parts. The company has successfully applied for several utility patents and has made breakthroughs in several areas, including flight-control and optical image processing systems. Areox has been dedicated to providing steady and stable UAVs and smart equipment to hobbyists with the aim of becoming a high-tech producer with a global reputation.
With the development of the smart aerial drone market, Areox was quick to grasp what the market demanded, and after two years of research and development, launched the smart aerial drone X5, which features a high-precision flight control system, three-axis stabilized pan-tilt and a HD motion camera, delivering an outstanding user experience. In addition, the X5 was showcased at the 2016 Mobile World Congress (MWC) and the Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Edition) 2016, garnering great acclaim from customers. Areox’s next-generation drone product, the X6, will be unveiled at the 2017 CES.
Focusing on the development and production of drones, Areox has also developed pan-tilt-based stability augmentation equipment for action photos and video.
After launching several generations of products, Areox’s continues to improve in terms of technical prowess. In the past, handheld video stabilizers were strictly a tool in the province of professional photographers. With the rise of internet journalists and video bloggers, however, the capabilities of one’s video recording equipment are of increasing importance. Consumer demands have become similar to those of professionals, in terms of what is expected when it comes to stability, as well as in terms of where the market for cameras is heading. It is in this context that expectations in terms of more user-friendly handheld stabilization devices have decidedly grown, and the PIRO Smart Gimbal is the answer to that expectation.
