More fun and efficiency with more camera angles, pans and perspectives. Film everything
around you in one take. Produce entire camera pans and camera rides, simulate drone flights
or dive with a mechanically stabilized camera even in salt water.
The actiontwister™ is the solution for the professional action camera filmer. Your videos
become more trendy and professional! With its ¼ inch UPnDOWN screw, the actiontwister™
fits all brands of action cameras. The imagination controls the actiontwister™. In a short
amount of time different camera angles can be filmed. This is important when there is lonly
ittle time to get attractive footage for a vivid and immersive video editting.

VIDEO AKTIV, Germany:
The actiontwister has an extremely fast set up and is not only usable as a selfie stick, but
also as a mobile single-arm camera crane and also in and under water. Thanks to clever
mechanics, the camera can be turned on the "stick" and tilted.
It can be stated that the actiontwister is intended as a tool for the extraordinary perspectives
- and always when you do nt have much time to change camera positions. The actiontwister
weighs about 1.25 kilograms, with the emphasis on the arm is well supported. The carbon
tube can be extended to about 2 meters in length, so that you can reach a maximum height
of almost four meters easily. Thus, the actiontwister is an alternative for a drone, if you want
to film at major events. Flying over a drone is simply not allowed - but with the actiontwister
you can get a bird's-eye view. The camera can be rotated on the actiontwister more than
360 degrees. So that the mechanics can be operated even better, there are optional
extension levers, so-called SlomoSticks.

We first heard of the actiontwister at PhotoPlus Expo in NYC back in Oct. 2014. It was a very
unique item that was being displayed at the booth but was a demo/prototype unit. Finally, it
can become a reality and in your hands. The actiontwister is hand controlled and can control
the tilting and rotation of your camera.The actiontwister allows you to telescope the pole like
you would with a tripod leg to give you that extra reach.There is also going to be a DIVE
version which is the same as the actiontwister, but the metals and the ball-bearings are
refined to resist sweat and above all, salt water conditions. Still it always needs to be cleaned
carefully after each use.
The quality of the actiontwister will be top notch
B & H, USA:
Just before I headed off the exhibition floor, something caught my eye. A man had what
looked like a monopod strapped to his arm with a GoPro mounted on the other side. I walked
over to find out that this is the new actiontwister from a German. Upon closer inspection, I
could see that the operator was controlling the pan and tilt of the GoPro with a joystick, so I
asked what kind of battery the actiontwister runs on, only to be surprised by the fact that it is
fully mechanical. At first, that might seem strange but, with the realization that no electronics
means it can function anywhere, even underwater, it made perfect sense.

The actiontwister™ gives us unique possibilities of panning, tilting and rotation...
Foto Hit, Germany:
The first movable, one-armed camera crane for action cams is on the march: with the
actiontwister you point at the scene to be filmed like with a gun and you control the
inclination of the camera with your fingers on the "trigger"...!
actiontwister™ - a multitool:
- rotation: 390 ° horizontal, 180 ° vertical
- movement radius: width 4-5 m, height 3-4 m
- extendable length: 70-202 cm from the wrist
- works under water
- weight: 1024 grams without camera
Fast setup: In seconds, the actiontwister™ is a single arm camera
crane, a steadycam, a gimbal carrier and an extremely flexible
underwater tool for divers.
No elektronics: Unlimited applications are everywhere, where no
electricity is available or no electronics wants to be used.
Extreme flexibility: With the anatomical rotation of the forearm you
reach additional camera angles for an interesting DV editing.
Scuba Diving: Made of carbon, aluminum, brass and stainless steel, the
actiontwister works in saltwater and is easy to clean in a fresh water
bath! The diver has always been directly behind the camera, unless he
had an action camera on a selfie stick. With the actiontwister™ he comes
with careful distance gently between corals, through shipwreck hatches or
in moraine caves, in which he could not enter without dangerous use for
humans and animals.
steadyPET: The condyle is easily tilted 90 ° forward and fixed. With the
steadPET one of the most stable mechanical steadycam was created. It
works in the air, but makes most sense as the world's first underwater
Steadycam .
Follow with the camera each aquatic creature easier. Fish are much less
spooked and depending on the species, they even play with the camera!
steadyPET can also be used in the air if you do not have a gimbal at your
disposal. The latest generation of action cameras have a top electronic
stabilization. Both in combination make the actiontwsiter ™ even
without gimbal into a very well functioning steadycam for action
filmmakers.
Gimbal: The actiontwister is the first telescope extension of its kind on
which an electronic gimbal can be attached.
Drone substitute: Turning the UPnDOWN screw up side down and an
electronic gimbal is installed on top turns the actiontwister™ into a
low-flying drone substitue. In its full length (202 cm) you can reach
a height of 4 - 5 meters. Where drones are not allowed (for example,
concerts, public events, demonstrations, big cities), the actiontwister™
with a camera swing diameter of 6-7 meters provides great application
possibilities.
SLOMOstick: Extensions of the control levers enable new slow-motion
movements. Control the camera slower and as smoothly as an electronic
movement! Gently control a gimbal on the actiontwister™ very slowly or
very fast (right and left).
Fixed mobile camera crane: The actiontwister, attached to the belt and
shoulders, can be kept in the air for a long time. With a simple handle, the
camera is fixed horizontally. In police use, at sporting events or open-air
concerts they film over the audience or obstacles and have a constantly
elevated camera position.
The actiontwister™ does not need any
batteries which shorten the filming time: no
annoying charging of batteries, it always
works.
In less than 10 seconds, the actiontwister is
ready to record on any length of the telescope.
With the travelBEND function it can be
transported in any regular suitcase.
The thumb controls the vertical and the index
and middle fingers the horizontal movement
(right/left).
Each trigger wheel has several screw holes, so
that the control can be customized and
adjusted for each hand size.
The SLOMOstick allows gentle and extremely
slow movements which an electronic engine
can not do.
The actiontwister ™ is lightweight and very
stable despite the length of the telescope.
Small screens such as mobile phones or
tablets can be easily mounted with an
additional bracket.
Many filmers think that the actiontwister™ is
not stabilizing enough. NO PROBLEM! Every
standard small gimbal can be mounted without
problems on the actiontwister™.
