This 14 month old Letus Helix Jr has seen very little use and was custom rigged with a plethora of extras by my colleague repair specialist who is a trained (in Germany) Arri Camera / Zeiss Lens technician... which basically means he's as meticulous as they come and has done a profoundly sophisticated job on my Letus Helix Jr rig.
You will see in the first few photographs that the rig is currently set up for a Blackmagic Micro Camera but prior to that it was set up to carry a Red Epic Camera. I will list all the items included in the sale with their respective retail prices I paid... followed by a few photographs and my asking price. Feel free to ask any questions.
Helix Jr used with Red Cameras:
(We removed the side handle, used Lipo Batteries and used the wifi app... this made it incredibly easy to balance. In fact we could have kept the side handle and still balanced fine).

Professionally Installed Extras: (not many photos showing these)
-Motiondogs Lenzhound Wireless Follow Focus - Combo Kit - Paid $750
-Motiondogs Thumbwheel Kit w/ Cine Gear, Handheld Thread, Bands - Paid $181
-Mediablackout P-Tap Multi Breakout Cable (these guys rock!) - Paid $115
-Nyrius Aries Pro Wireless HDMI Video Transmitter + Receiver - Paid $500
With the above listed items, the entire gimbal + camera + follow focus + wireless HD video + monitor can all be powered off of the one Letus Juicebox Battery and still have 1 or 2 D-taps to spare to power any other accessories. It felt so convenient for me, I left the rig built during handheld, slider and even tripod shots where I would remove the pan-handle and simply use my Helix handles to manoeuvre the camera including the electronic tilt. Beautiful!
Letus Helix Jr Rig:
-Letus Helix Jr. Gimbal (Aluminum) - Paid $1599
-Rail Mounted Monitor Mount V.2 - Paid $200
-2x Helix Juice Box 5200mah Extended Batteries - Paid $350 Total
-Helix Juice Box Extended Battery Mounting Posts - Paid $40
-Helix Jr. Juice Box 2600mah Battery
-Helix Jr. Juice Box Mounting Posts
-Helix Jr. Juice Box Charger
-2x Letus 5-inch Carbon Fiber Rods
-2x Counter Balance Weights
-Helix Jr. Plate and Camera Mounting Screw (The Jr. Plate will work with small DSLR/Mirrorless cameras with no issue. For a bit larger cameras like the RED or Canon Cinema line look into purchasing their Standard or Heavy Duty plates which I borrowed from a friend during my shoot on the Red Epic.)
-2 Allen Keys
-Pelican 1550 Carrying Case with Custom Cut Foam - Paid $300
-LP-E6 to 2-Pin Connector Dongle - Paid $150 (I used this to power my SmallHD monitor. Can also power Canon DSLR's. The shell to this came a part a little bit (pictured below) and requires handling with care. Still works but needs a bit of tape or glue or my favourite Sugru!)
-NP-FW50 to 2-Pin Connector Dongle - Paid $150 (Powers Sony Alpha Mirrorless Cameras)
-Original instruction booklet and inserts
-Original receipt I think I have lying around somewhere.
All in all the total cost of this rig was USD$4,335... I'm going to price it for a quick sale at USD$2,435 including FREE Worldwide Shipping to whereever you are on the planet. I think this is a really reasonable price especially considering I'm including free Worldwide shipping?... but I may be wrong, I don't know.
I really hope this goes to a good home as it has only been used less than 12 times... such an exquisite rig needs to be used and appreciated more than I have done with it.
Doesn't include smallhd monitor, BMMCCamera + cage + remote control buttons + lens + QR Plate
