The Hague MMC Mini Motion Cam is the original small handheld camera stabilizer designed and manufactured by Hague Camera Supports in Nottingham, England.
The new version of the MMC is our most advanced and exciting model incorporating a new streamlined design, the highly advanced H2 gimble, and it now supports cameras up to 1kg (2.2lbs) straight out the box.
The original MMC set a precedent as the world’s first low cost, yet highly effective, stabilizer and the current model just takes it to the next level. This compact unit eliminates camera shake and allows the user to create those true floating shots.
The most important part of a stabilizer is its gimble as it essential that the handle is totally free moving. The MMC has always had the smoothest moving gimble of its type making it far superior and more effective than any other ball type stabilizer on the market.
The new Hague H2 advanced gimble maintains the free moving capabilities of its predecessor but has now been housed in a more secure socket which prevents the risk of the handle becoming loose if misused. The gimble has a highly polished ball enclosed in a nylon socket ensuring super free movement and enhanced security.
The MMC stabilizer now supports cameras from 300g (0.7lbs) – 1kg (2.2lbs) as standard straight out the box. Cameras below 300g (0.7lbs) or above 1kg (2.2lbs) can also be balanced with the additional accessories offered and attachments to add phones or action cameras, such as the GoPro, are also available. The MMC can now support up to a maximum of 1.5kg (3.3lbs) with the MINWK Additional Weight Kit. The Mini Motion Cam is ideal for DSLR cameras, small camcorders, SLR cameras, phones, action cameras and compact cameras.
The stabilizer is a counterbalance system with the camera attached directly to the top by a standard 1/4" camera screw with adjustment for moving the camera forwards and back for balancing. At the bottom of the Mini Motion Cam there is an adjustable counterbalance platform to which the weights are attached. This original Hague design allows you to adjust the positioning of the weights to help counterbalance the camera and helps make setting up the stabilizer a much more simple process than other stabilizing systems. Once balanced it is quick and simple to level off the camera. A selection of weights are supplied for balancing the different weights of camera. Our MMC set-up guide video will quickly take you through the steps required to get you balanced and ready for filming.
The Mini Motion Cam is designed and manufactured in England and utilises the highest quality materials available to ensure it remains the best stabilizer of its type on the market. The reason it has become the most popular stabilizer of its type is quite simply because its performance is second to none and we remain passionate about ensuring this does not change. The MMC is made from lightweight aluminium with zinc plated counterbalance weights. Suitable for all makes of cameras within the weight limits specified.
Approx size: - Length 19cm. x Width 3.5cm. x Height 27cm. Weight: - 300g. plus counterbalance weights. Colour Black.

When mounting a camera to a ball head, video head, stabilizer, jib or crane, it helps if the camera's mounting hole is in the centre of balance. Unfortunately not all camcorder and camera manufacturers put the mounting hole at the centre of balance, which means the camera could be front or back heavy, or the mounting hole could be offset to the side. Larger batteries or interchangeable lenses will also affect the balance; this is particularly prevalent with Digital SLR cameras.
The Hague BCA Balance Correction Adaptor solves this problem, as the camera can be moved to the left or right to correct sideways balance and then one of the six mounting holes can be used to correct the balance of the camera from being front or back heavy. The adaptor can be used either way round and the camera plate can also be re-positioned to the left or to the right, giving even more adjustment if required.

The Hague WCA Weight Correction Adaptor allows lighter cameras to be used on the Hague MMC Mini Motion Cam.
If your camera weighs less than 300g we would recommend you use a Weight Correction Adaptor. This raises the camera by 50mm. For very light cameras some of the Mini Motion Cam weights can be fastened to either side of the adaptor to add weight to the top of the stabilizer, this will improve the performance of the stabilizer as it will bring the weight of the camera up to an ideal operating weight range.
The adaptor can be used either way round and can be "off set" to correct balance when the mounting hole in the camera is not in the centre of balance. If the mounting hole in the camera is a long way out, weights can be added to just one side of the adaptor to counteract this.
IDEAL FOR CAMERAS UNDER 300g. ( The adaptor is not supplied with any weights.)

Unfortunately not all camcorder manufacturers put the tripod mounting hole at the centre of balance on the camera, which means the camcorder could be front or back heavy, or the mounting hole could be offset to the side on the camcorder.
Larger batteries or a wide angle lens will also affect balance and, although the Hague MMC Mini Motion Cam has been designed to have plenty of adjustment to allow for this, on some camcorders it may be necessary to use the MMCP Balance Correction Plate.
If you find the camcorder will not move far enough either back or forward, or the adjustable weight plate is fully to one side and you are still not getting the stabilizer balanced correctly, you will need the correction plate.
The correction plate simply screws onto the base of the camcorder, there are several mounting holes in the plate to mount it to the Hague MMC Mini Motion Cam to correct the balance.
