  1. A couple of days ago I was asked by the Director to whip from the face of the actor to their hand and back up. The DOP (who has flown Steadicam) suggested he'd help me by grabbing the bottom of the sled to help get the shot. After two attempts he realised that Steadicam wasn't the tool for the job and he went hand-held! He nailed it first time! The Steadicam is great at getting a bunch of shots; however it is not the answer for everything and that's a fact!!!

  2. Hi all! First post here - I've been trying to get a price list / make a purchase from Tiffen for 5 weeks now. After 4 different contacts and conversations, I still can not get anyone to even send me a pricing sheet. Trying to decide between a M2 Volt with the larger 1 3/4 post or M1 with volt, but seriously can not get any help. I've been a commercial Dp and camera op for 8 years. very eager and ready to get into the steadicam world, as I've always been jealous of their ability on set. I am Doing the SOA class in October, so I would love to get an order in and enter the work force ASAP. At this point, it makes me nervous to even purchase from Tiffen.. is this a common issue? I now believe I will be going for a GPI PRO rig and getting the Volt (if I can get ahold of anyone.) Just looking for advice, or to know if I'm the only one who's had this struggle - I would obviously like to enter this part of the work force with friends and relationships of those I'm purchasing my tools from. Also, if anyone has the Tiffen pricing chart and wouldn't mind a personal message send, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance, I've been reading through this forum for a few weeks - great community!

  4. Hi Andre, I own a G70x arm and recently I bought the rain cover from Flowcine for their X-ARM...it fits perfectly. I also own a base electronics rain cover form Sachtler and it's great! I don't know if they are still producing them but it's worth asking. Hope it helps! - Haris -

  5. I would be contacting all of the rental companies in England and seeing if they had a Video split for your camera on the shelf collecting dust that may like to sell to you .I would say you could pick one up quite cheap .Or you could use a lipstick camera and mount it to the viewfinder for a quick fix . Good luck Louis Puli
