Hey Ted and Paul,
I'm a new steadicam operator and I am doing some research into rigs and what I'd like to get as my first set. I was recommended by staff at Arri to get Anton/Bauer batteries for the sled. I am not specifically looking at Arri for a sled. Other options are, SmartSystem, GPI and Tiffen (at the moment SmartSystem is the leading option). I just wondered if you had a recommendation on which type of battery I should look for when deciding what I'm going to mount on the sled.
Most likely I'll be looking for a V-lock, set of 4 batteries with charging station to power the monitor and camera/accessories.
If you have any advice, that would be great. Hope you are well.
