VariZoom VZFPC - FlowPod stabilizer with bag

The VariZoom VZFPC FlowPod Stabilizer with Bag is a highly versatile 3-in-1 handheld camera support that functions as a stabilizer, monopod, and low-mode tool. Designed for HD video cameras and DSLRs up to 9 lbs, the FlowPod delivers smooth motion, fast mode switching, and unmatched utility for professional shooters.

The VariZoom FlowPod is a unique, patented handheld stabilizer that combines three essential tools in one system: stabilizer mode for smooth floating shots, monopod mode for rock-solid stationary shots, and low-mode capability for dramatic ground-level perspectives (optional low-mode kit required). Unlike traditional stabilizers, the FlowPod allows operators to instantly switch modes without rebalancing, dramatically improving speed and workflow in the field.

Perfectly suited for compact HD cameras such as the Sony EX-1, NX5U, Canon XF300, Panasonic HPX-250, AC160, and popular DSLRs including the Canon 5D Mark II, 7D, and Rebel T2i, the FlowPod supports camera payloads from 1–9 lbs (cameras over 5 lbs require the optional VZ-FP1 weight kit).

The patented monopod system collapses or extends in seconds, while the locking handle and fluid gimbal allow smooth pans and tilts or locked-in stability as needed. A precision X-Y balancing plate, sliding counterweights, and included balancing plate/docking stand make setup fast and accurate. Lightweight aluminum construction, a slim profile, and ergonomic design make the FlowPod a favorite among filmmakers, event videographers, and mobile content creators worldwide. A carrying bag is included for easy transport.
