Introducing the Raptor Air – New Release!
Sep
We’re excited to unveil the Raptor Air, our latest shock-absorbing arm featuring a cutting-edge air suspension fork. Designed to support payloads between 10 to 35kgs, it’s the ideal solution for 3-axis gimbal systems such as the DJI Ronin 2, Movi Pro, Movi XL, Titan LT, Shotover G1, and more.
The Raptor Air is engineered to eliminate high-frequency vibrations while minimizing low-frequency oscillations, making it the perfect choice for filming on both rugged terrains and smooth roads.
“The Raptor Air is not only stronger but also easier to adjust. Thanks to its air suspension fork, it effortlessly accommodates a wide range of systems, from lightweight to heavy setups,” says SteadiHan.
1. What’s new in the Raptor Air compared to the Raptor Z Arm?
The most significant upgrade in the Raptor Air is the shift from traditional hydraulic dampers and spring adjustments to an advanced air suspension fork system.
Instead of swapping springs to match different payloads, filmmakers can now fine-tune air pressure to quickly adapt the arm to different camera setups, making the system more flexible and faster to configure on set.
With this new design, Raptor Air supports a wider operating range:
-
Up to 35kg payload when combined with vibration isolation systems such as Raptor ISO, Raptor XY, or the C35 Vibration Isolator
-
Up to 64kg payload when configured in a Twin Z setup
Additionally, some users have successfully paired Raptor Air with the DJI Ronin 4D, enabling stable performance with lighter camera configurations that were previously not ideal for the Raptor Z arm.
This upgrade provides greater payload flexibility, faster setup, and broader compatibility with modern camera systems.

The Raptor Air is compatible with the Raptor ISO, Raptor XY, and Z Pro Head. Most accessories for the Raptor Z Arm will work with the new arm, except for the Heavy Springs.
