Article no.: 31335
The SmallRig 5528 mini Shock Absorber Arm is designed specifically for vehicle-mounted shooting. It uses a high-rebound spring together with a hydraulic damping system to significantly reduce vertical vibrations during in-vehicle shooting, helping you capture steadier footage with compatible action cameras and compact gimbals.
The arm’s damping adjustment knob allows you to adapt quickly to different road surfaces and driving conditions. Because the product combines a spring and hydraulic damping, you can fine-tune the setup to reduce bounce and vertical shake when shooting from moving vehicles. This makes it suitable for demanding in-car or on-vehicle filming scenarios where vibration control is essential.
