ProView S3 : Stabilizer for Larger Smartphone






Words from the Inventor.




ProView S3 is the most affordable 3-axis stabilizer capable of handing 4.7" to larger size 5.7" screen smartphone with 4K video recording capability.
It allows anyone with a smartphone to take professional-quality video footage. We are passionate about enabling everyone to capture memorable moments in cinematic video quality, to proudly share their stories with friends and family.

Have you ever thought about making a microfilm by yourself? With ProView S3, it's possible even though you may have no prior experience in professional video taking. Here is an 1-minute microfilm made by ourselves, a bunch of novices. Hope you will enjoy it.  (Note: We shot the video with two cameras, one with a gimbal and the other without. The smaller screen shows the video made without a gimbal for comparison.)


ProView S3’s sensitive orientation sensors, powerful precision motors, and advanced algorithms put world-class gimbal stabilization technology into your hands, enables shooting of ultra-smooth, vibration-free video like a pro.

Key Features:


Adjustable Mount
The adjustable mount works with Android and iOS phones having width dimension ranging from 67mm to 78mm, covering screen size from 4.7" to 5.7". 
Ergonomically designed allowing single person to easily release phone grip with one hand, and use the other hand to insert or remove phone.





Wind Resistant
Advanced motor control algorithms and mechanical design to provide more stable operation in windy condition.
Wireless Update
Firmware updatable using Bluetooth 4.0.

Dual IMU Sensors
Adopt most advanced dual inertial measurement unit sensing technology to deliver state-of-art camera stabilization performance, much less drift than gimbals using only single IMU. 
Powerful Motors
Use high-torque brushless motors with superior gripping power and control accuracy, capable of supporting larger heavier smartphones.
Underslung Shot
Allow holding ProView S3 upside-down to shoot  low angle moving shots from ground level. When changing from upright to underslung position, ProView S3 automatically detects such orientation and will operate correctly.
4-Mode Display
Four versatile operating modes encompassing nearly all usage cases. Easy to understand front panel LED display showing gimbal operating mode.
Single Button
Combined joystick direction control and on/off switch in a single thumb-stick button design. Simple and elegant.
Joystick Control
5-way switch joystick allows fine adjustment of camera shooting angle turning in up/down/left/right direction.

Prototyping.

Words from The TEAM.

After 10 months of hardware and software development, going through 3 iterations of CNC-milled hardware prototypes, our design is now working as we hoped to achieve. Currently the design is going through 4th iteration refinement, making it work even better.
Our developments over the past months can be seen on our Facebook, Twitter, or ProView S3 blog pages.
