Cameraman Lennart Peters says:
“Creativity demands that I often work hand-held, I am always moving
around and looking for that perfect shot. Before the Turtle X my
hand-held shots always ended with shaky hands and shaky pictures.
Now with Turtle X on the scene I have no excuses.”
“It takes me less than a minute to get my Turtle X ready for use, once
I’ve put it on I get shake free, steady shots for hours and can continue
to stand and move around. In my opinion it’s the best invention since
the tripod!”

A letter come to us from Paul.....

VERY functional back saving tool. Easy to work with.
Beautiful looking and solid materials all very important.
But the HDV H1 dosen't fit in one piece into the bag -
so not "ready to shoot" tool. That is a missed chance.
I'll keep the Turtle X for the rig in the bag, I'll put the equipment -
( microphones, lamps ...) only for long walks I will have to depart -
the camera and use the bag of the Turtle X.

Hi there,

We recently purchased an Turtle X off you for a Natural History/Travel shoot
in Australia's Northern Territory.
Frankly, it was the best bit of kit I took with me and I could not have performed
my job anywhere near as good as I did without the Turtle X.
We spent 13 hours a day shooting from a boat; I wore the Turtle X at all times,
not only did it take the weight off my arm (the Z1 was loaded up with toys and very front heavy)
but it also helped to smooth the movement of the boat on the water too.
The were many times that the Turtle X enabled me to get shots I wouldn't have managed without it:
*** Low angle above the water as the boat travelled, "craning" up to action on the boat;
*** Production booked a helicopter one day for aerial footage of the floodplanes.
We were 200Km from cilivisation so proper filming choppers were out of the question.
The Turtle X became my chopper mount enabling me to shoot safely and reletively steady from the seat.
The next block of the job takes us to Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe -
I've been asked to cut back on excess baggage but one thing is for sure - the Turtle X is coming with me!


Best regards,

Chris

Hello!

I purchased your Turtle X at the end of March from 16x9. I
think the lady said it was their first one they got from you.
Anyways we absolutely love it, I usually forget that I am wearing it,
and I will be writing a full detailed review of it soon! :)
Have a great day! :)
