Filmpower Nebula Slant is a Gimbal with a Twist
The new Filmpower Nebula 5100 Slant curves its support arm for larger payloads and a better view of your monitor.

Handheld gimbals make up a competitive space with many entrants trying to stand out from the pack. Filmpower has found an innovative way to make its gimbal more useful to filmmakers: let the user see the camera screen. It's a simple improvement in the design, but it provides a big user advantage when you can keep the unit small by using the on camera monitor and not requiring a larger external unit.
The Nebula 5100 Slant also uses its twist design to support a larger payload of up to 3.2kg, or 7 pounds, which is substantial for a hand held gimbal. Of course, a seven pound camera with a two pound gimbal adds up to 9 pounds, which can be stressful to operate one handed for long periods of time. If you will be flying the full load most of the time, it's worth considering one of the accessory arms, either with or without a mobile phone mount, to spread the weight out to two arms and make complicated moves easier.
