thanks a lot ben for your answer.
i was not talking of handhelds, but on lightweight setups with dv,mini35 adapters etc.
i am shure it is not easy to get into business, especially in austria but i think its a very interesting job. i think there are unter 10 ops in austria, maybe 30 in germany.
the only thing is the mass of equipment needed.
i think a focus device and video sender/reciever can be borrowed, but i need a setup to learn with, so i will go for one.
i like this glidecam v25 but i think it is not upgradable, so i will go for some different arm and vest and a progear sled. (if i ever get contact to jan...)
i ve tried all brands of steadycams, even the new g70 which is a beautiful arm.
the progear is nice but according to many posts here jan isnt the best in consumer service.
what contact setup would you guys take in the upper and lower junction boxes?
i think i will go with pag batteries.
are there some other tips for a newbie like musts and donots?
thanks a lot,
markus
