Utilizing the same large diameter grip and rugged gimbal as the standard BlackHawk sled, the HD version has many improvements that make it an easy-to-justify upgrade. The HD sled includes the following additional features: telescoping center post for greater flexibility and more compact storage, rail-adjusting lower sled for better balance, full HD breakout boxes at the stage and lower sled (HDMI/Composite/Component video, XLR & LEMO power), leveling bubbles, 100% tool-free setup. The HD sled is available with dual V-lock or 3-stud (AB) battery mounts.
For a small premium, you can take the BlackHawk to the next level of functionality and performance. Included is a complimentary starter SD monitor, or we can add a Marshall HD monitor (the industry standard) for an extra charge. You also have the option to use your own HD monitor - the choice is yours.
NEW MX-TA Trim Adjuster Included - The MX-TA allows you to correct arm tilt by adjusting the orientation of the arm at the vest mount. Especially under heavy loads, the vest mount can twist and cause the arm to drift away from the operator's body, making the stabilizer more difficult to control. By adjusting the mounting axis of the arm to the correct vertical plane (perpendicular to the ground), the stabilizer arm will hold its position relative to your body, making it easier to control the sled and allowing you to concentrate on the shot.
NEW FlowTech Gimbal - Classic design has been improved with a detachable, ergonomically-sloped extension grip for improved handling and the ability to add a zoom control. Precision 3-axis gimbal delivers consistent fluid motion with six sets of bearings. The lightweight, rugged gimbal ties the system together fluidly and effortlessly.
NEW Form-Fit Ultra Rigid Vest - This new improved vest includes a contoured chest pad, torso-gripping 4-point buckle system, 2-stage reversible arm bridge, and height-adjustable chest plate. The lightweight, cool vest hugs and supports the upper body, making it possible to fly heavy cameras for extended periods.
Heavy-Duty Dual Arm - The Black Hawk's reinforced, dual-dynamic arm system is as refined as it is robust. Adjustable over a broad range, it can bear cameras 10-25 pounds swiftly and smoothly and offers up to 38" of vertical travel. Twenty-four precision bearings and four beefy springs ensure silent, zero-failure performance. The 2-stage reversible arm bridge allows left or right orientation and 4" up/down positioning.
Precision Gear Drive Stage - Micro-adjustable gear drive stage enables extremely precise tuning of horizontal balance. Included balancing plate aids greatly in setup when paired with a C-stand. Quick-release dovetail camera plate allows rapid setup and breakdown in the field.
Standard Sled: Power, Vision, Balance - At the base of the standard sled, a 7" 16:9 color monitor serves as a large external viewfinder. Dual Anton Bauer mounts power the monitor (and the camera, if you wish) through internal wiring (V-lock mounts available on request). The monitor and batteries also serve as counterweight for vertical balance. Monitor and battery positions can be adjusted for fine-tuning. The standard sled is pictured below and includes a BNC video connection and LEMO power. The standard sled has a fixed post (non-telescoping), and a bracket mount monitor stand.
Custom Rolling Case - A form-cut foam insert protects and secures the system components inside, while the wheeled case with telescoping handle ensures effortless transport. Padded carry pouches hold the toolkit, cables, monitor w/ remote, and training DVD.
Training DVD - VariZoom stabilizers take some time to master, but the included training DVD takes you through the setup and operation step-by-step with a professional FlowCam operator.
Options - The Black Hawk comes standard with dual Anton Bauer Mounts and a combination NTSC/PAL (via toggle switch) monitor. If you need V-lock mounts, no monitor at all, or have any other special requests, then give us a call and we'll be glad to discuss your needs. Because these units are hand crafted and assembled, the options are wide open.

Why People Like You Chose Powermax
Just wanted to say "Thanks Again" for taking care of me on this order. Anyway - I'm a happy camper. Just wanted you to know!
- Peace and Blessings,

BIG kudos to your company for shipping to APOs. I love Apple and all their products, but their lack of support to Service Members deployed and stationed overseas has been a sore point with me for a long time!!! It is refreshing to find a company that understands that Soldiers in Iraq (and Afghanistan, and Germany, and Japan, etc.) deserve easy access to Macs as well as anyone else.
- Thank you for your help.
- Balad, Iraq
I would like to thank you for the prompt response to the drive situation. I received the drive on Wednesday afternoon, installed it on Thursday and everything went as smooth as could be. My experience with PowerMax has been a pleasant one, and I am looking forward to doing business again in the future. Once again thank you for all of your help.
- Thanks,
- Henderson, NV
