SmartSystem Matrix Sled Pro Vlock (smart-3550)

The SmartSystem Matrix Sled Pro makes both static and dynamic balancing extremely simple. Designed for ENG cameras—including heavier builds—it includes additional counterbalance weights for precise tuning. The sled incorporates cinema-grade features such as an ultra-fluid gimbal and a micrometric, non-floating, backlash-compensated head. It supports an LCD monitor and offers dual V-Lock battery slots plus an additional C-battery slot for expanded power options. A hard-shell case is included for safe and convenient transport.

Tool-Free Matrix Design
• No tools required to assemble or adjust the sled
• Fast setup ideal for on-set workflows
• Exclusive locking levers and ergonomic knobs allow smooth and precise fine adjustments

1.5" (40 mm) Carbon Telescopic Post – Tool-Free
A premium carbon fiber post provides excellent rigidity while remaining lightweight.

Ultra-Fluid Professional Gimbal
The gimbal operates with exceptional smoothness and features an innovative clamp that requires minimal force to secure.

Smarthead Modular System
The Smarthead design allows the operator to remove and reconfigure the sled’s head entirely. This modularity keeps the sled future-ready and adaptable to new SmartSystem components or specific production needs.

LCD Monitor Holder
The adjustable mounting arm accommodates most common LCD monitors while maintaining high stiffness and stability.

Dedicated Multi-Voltage Wiring
Matrix Sled Pro can route up to three different voltages from the lower battery section to the upper components—unlike many sleds limited to a single power line. This provides far greater compatibility and flexibility for powering various cameras and accessories.

C-Battery Plate Included
An additional C-Battery plate allows greater power capacity and configuration options.

Counterbalance Weight System
• Essential for balancing the full camera build, including accessories such as remote focus motors or cinema lenses
• Extra top weight often forces operators to extend batteries or monitors farther away, reducing boom range and increasing the risk of ground contact or operator interference
• Matrix Sled Pro supports up to ten counterweights (7.93 oz / 225 g each), enabling ideal balance without sacrificing maneuverability

High-Quality Connectors
Neutrik XLR connectors and gold-plated BNC terminals ensure clean power and HD-SDI video transmission with no signal loss.

LEMO / Fischer Compatibility
SmartSystem prioritizes practical, fast operation. Their standard connector choices are robust, widely available, and give excellent electrical performance, reducing cable-related problems for Steadicam operators.
