  1. Hi All I have had the Level on several jobs now. It performs really well. This is still a prototype. The final version will be shorter by an inch or so, and have WiFi so you can do software updates without sending it in. Plus more user inputs. Super simple to use, and much easier to set up than the Wave. The balance is not as critical. For example, this last show, I took the prompter and receiver off mid show and just kept going after just a regular Steadicam balance. This would have required a total rebalance on the Wave. There is still no manual lock, but this was not an issue because there is a pause button that locks the level in place. Really quick to do, as in this past commercial, I had to do some off angle shots as well. Just one button, press and go. Very low profile and discreet as the footprint is much smaller than the Wave. Although it only has 6° of adjustment, because it has a low center of gravity, it actually represents a big correction of horizontal control. You can see this when turned on and the level powers up. The locking screw is plastic but solid. Feels a little cheap. There are rubber footings that aid in keeping your camera plate from sliding at full tilt. The return to level after a full tilt is smooth. Looking forward to the final when mine gets switched out. One concern is how weatherized it is. You can see the inner circuit board between the level plates. I believe this too will be addressed in the final version. Looks to be end of this year. Cheers Taj

  2. Hello everyone, I'm new in the steadicam world and I finally got my first rig purchasing the new Steadicam AXIS which is an insane deal and I'm over the moon to finally use this amazing tool which I was dreaming since awhile. My only problem now is, I don't have a proper camera to allow me to fly my steadicam properly and I do have a Sony FX3 which is too light and can not reach the 20lbs payload limit for this sled, so I was wondering if you have any suggestion to add weight on the sled other then the camera (I need an extra 8-9 lbs) or if some of you is selling an old weight plate or practice cage. Please let me know Thank you so much :)
