The Tranquilizer Mount from FLOWCINE is an anti-vibration mount designed for the Black Arm Dampening System. The Tranquilizer reduces vibrations from the lowest possible frequency range and maximizes motor torque without getting into self-oscillation. It comes with two sets of 32 polymers, the shore 30 and shore 40, while harder and softer shores can be easily added (sold separately).
The Tranquilizer also includes eight passive plates. These add more mass to the system, and let you dial in the right amount of weight while compensating incoming hard shocks. The passive plates are easy to add and remove on the fly while your gimbal is already attached to the system. They enable you to add just over 11 lb to the Tranquilizer.
The Tranquilizer allows the system to reduce a great deal of incoming vibrations, while at the same time keep the gimbal in check from jittering around the pan axis. This allows you to tune your gimbal/gyrohead with the highest possible pan motor torque settings and the result will be a head that handles high speeds, wind, and other dynamics when shooting from vehicles better.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Flowcine Tranquilizer use custom polymers instead of wire rope. We have a system that lets you to go from different types of hardness and amount of polymers, that allows for perfect tweaking of your setup weight, allowing the Tranquilizer to work optimally. The package ships with two sets of polymers, shore 30 and shore 40, and you can easily add more sets if you have a wide span of different gimbals you want to change between, however since the system easily lets you add and subtract the amount, you already have a great range of freedom in weight span with the default package.
The Tranquilizer also includes the Flowcine Passive plates. These adds more mass to the system, and lets you dial in the perfect weight and also makes a huge difference compensating incoming hard shocks. These are very easy to add and remove on the fly, while your gimbal is already attached to the system. We include eight of the passive plates in the package, enabling you to add just over 5KG/11LBS to the Tranquilizer.
To reduce the problem with when the pan motor goes into self oscillation, we have a design that allows the system to reduce a great deal of incoming vibrations, while at the same time keep the gimbal in check from jittering around the pan axis. This allows you to tune your gimbal/gyrohead with the highest possible pan motor torque settings and the result will be a head that handles high speeds, wind and other dynamics when shooting from vehicles better.
All in all, the Tranquilizer is a huge step forward to help you produce the smoothest footage on the planet. We are very proud to release this in March/April 2017 as an upgrade to your Flowcine Black system! Exact price and configurations will be announced shortly.
