Maxima is great.

Good for:

-POVs from vehicles
-lateral shooting from vehicles
-3-axis gimble shots
-long lens moves
-remote stabilizer head for 'non-operating moves'
-can be Lambda head substitute sometimes
Good on:

Good for substituting when you need a safer means than Steadi
-not big fan of attaching to arm

Considering the torque and load bearing involved, it is testimony to the engineering that old arms are still going strong.
My Model 1 arm from around '78 was still working last I heard--Dave Isern, do you still have it?
Your old arm was great Charles,
I sold the arm #092 in 2013.
In 2007, Robert Luna modified the post-end into a full Model 3 arm.
A real workhorse that flew some of my finest work.
I had it since '98 but bought a PRO arm a couple years ago.
Guille Garcia from Peru bought it.
Seems like he's keeping it busy.

I've had a Betz top stage since 2006 and it's great! Heavy duty and practical. It should last forever. When I needed some spare parts, they got me what I needed quickly and it barely costed me anything, from Germany to New York.
Hats off to them!

Get an accountant if you don't already.
Your LLC can purchase all your gear from you for $1.
Talk to your accountant first though.
He/she will either deduct it or depreciate it.
Congrats to you CEO!

Glad I bought an EZrig awhile back.
Might make the MOVI useful now and especially if it can take Alexas and regular cameras with accessories down the road.
My rollerblade skillz evidently will always come in handy.........maybe even the decade of halfpipe riding.
Don't worry - just get prepared.

The Flyer softcase works well as a case for Klassen vests if you take the drop/sidearm off.
Lightweight for shipping/flying too. Definitely durable enough.

Knowing both is best, of course.
Goofy was frowned upon a bit in the 90's when I started. I knew it was the way for me after being a Steadicam assistant & AC for years, and through trial and error, I learned it was the best for me.
Besides, I skateboarded, snowboarded, water skied, and repelled goofy.
In smaller markets it can help by operating on the smart side of cameras.
If it makes sense and feels much better - you're probably goofy.
Fly smart - have fun!

The new Bartech rocks - my first dozen days with it were with Primos often in the cold.
Jason Bateman/Olivia Wild flick.
Worked great!
Don't tighten the clip-on matte box too much though.
My AC buddy's a fan already.
The Digital M-1's handled cold Primos without a flinch.
Thanks Jim & Don!
Happy Holidays,

Can you hold it for 30-40 days?
I will be in Africa for that period and it is not safe to pay things from there.
Best!

nah the new Bartech Digital Receiver is way smaller and lighter, not that it was heavy/big before. Maybe 40% smaller.

The Betz Wave system review??
in General Discussion
Posted
I've enjoyed using the Wave1.
I use it primarily for help with windy days when I have broad wide horizons around me. It also helps with some tricky or uncomfortable Low-Mode shots. Works great, just out of the box. I carry some old heavy brick batteries from heavier film days to counterbalance.
Rock solid. Doesn't take much power.
Betz manufactures by demand, so orders may take a couple months.
Have fun flying,
Dave
