Mounting optionsย 

The xR3ACH is a groundbreaking new hybrid back mount, that not only serves as a back mount but also acts as a single-section articulated stabilization arm.ย 

The xR3ACH is back-mounted and fits Tiffens Steadicam Fawcett Exovest, the Walter Klassen Flex and the Action Products Vest. Mounting hardware is supplied for one of the vests, which you choose upon order.ย 

The xR3ACH design is built with durability in mind, it is exceptionally robust. Made from aircraft grade aluminum, solid carbon fiber infused titanium shafts, and large stainless steel precision ball bearings.

It ships with three middle brackets of different sizes (S, M and L), used to fine-tune the position of the socket block, to ensure a great fit for your specific vest and body type. The brackets can be mounted at fixed angles of 22.5 degrees, to further fine-tune the setup.

It features a fully adjustable x-y socket block stage. The tilt angle is adjusted with a large knob, and the roll is adjusted like any usual socket block by two knobs. The roll adjustment on the xR3ACH socket block has a larger degree of adjustment than most other socket blocks on the market. The socket block follows the universal standard and is fully compatible with Tiffen and GPI Pro.ย 

xR3ACH spring cores

The xR3ACH is based on the same type of polymer spring cores used in the xARM, with an outer shell of Neoprene.ย 

Each spring core has a smooth and linear lifting capacity, and when being used near their maximum, they perform their best. Because of this, each spring core has a weight range of about 5 kg/11 lbs, allowing the operator to fine-tune the arm to optimal performance.ย 

The xR3ACH normally ships with three different spring cores (Blue, Orange and Purple), to cover a range between 17-29 kg/37-64 lbs *(See note below). The spring cores are pre-extended and can be quickly changed when needed.

The xR3ACH will give the operator a new idea of what it means to work fluently and smoothly with minimal force needed to maintain any position.

xR3ACH Spring cores
xR3ACH
The xR3ACH ships default with the following three spring cores:
  • Blue 17-22.5 kg / 37-49.5 lbs
  • Orange 20-25.5 kg / 44.5-56 lbs
  • Purple 23.5-29 kg / 52-64 lbs
For lighter setups there are also two lighter spring cores available:
  • Green 14-19.5 kg / 31-43 lbs
  • Teal 8-14 kg / 17.5-31 lbs

NOTE: Max load specified is for the sled/camera weight. The weight of the stabilizer arm (around 5 kg/11 lbs) is already deducted from the max lift capacity specified for the xR3ACH. If your arm is heavier than 5 kg/11 lbs you have to deduct the difference from the xR3ACH max load.

For very heavy setups we can also offer custom made spring cores, up to around 32 Kg / 70Lbs. Send us an email if you’d like to order a custom spring core.

Only the finest materials

All parts of the xR3ACH are made from aircraft grade aluminium, solid carbon fibre infused titanium shafts and large stainless steel precision ball bearings. All parts are made to give the operator a trouble free device with minimum maintenance. The very clean design makes it possible to give a frictionless and noiseless arm with absolute minimum push/pull force for its full boom range. The female socket block is made from stainless steel and other components as shafts, are made from grade 5 titanium to keep the weight low, still with minimum flex in the structure when using high payloads.
The xR3ACH ships with the heated winter cover, perfect for extra protection.
