VariZoom VZ-Navigator - universal Vest for stabilzer gimbal

The VariZoom VZ-Navigator is a professional heavy-duty vest and arm system designed for FlowPod and Glidecam™ handheld stabilizers. Built to eliminate operator fatigue, it comfortably supports camera rigs up to 10 lbs and can later be upgraded into a full Prolite stabilizer system.

The VariZoom VZ-Navigator Vest and Arm System is the ultimate ergonomic upgrade for filmmakers using FlowPod or Glidecam™ handheld stabilizers. Designed using technology from VariZoom’s professional Prolite stabilizer system, the Navigator delivers smooth, fatigue-free operation for extended shooting sessions while maintaining affordability.

Handheld stabilizers can produce beautiful footage, but long takes often result in arm and wrist strain. The Navigator completely transfers the load from your arms to your torso using a form-fitting, breathable vest and a heavy-duty single dynamic support arm, allowing operators to focus fully on composition and movement.

The system supports camera payloads from 2 to 10 lbs, making it ideal for Glidecam 4000-class rigs and similar setups. Built primarily from aluminum with stainless steel components, the Navigator is durable, lightweight, and engineered for years of professional use.

One of its biggest advantages is expandability—the Navigator can later be paired with a Prolite sled, instantly transforming it into a full professional stabilizer system. Backed by VariZoom’s 3-year arm/vest warranty, this system is a smart long-term investment for serious videographers.
