    A reluctant sale of my Bartech remote focus kit. I'm selling my entire steadicam kit with a change of direction for my work so it's all up for grabs. This is a very complete kit that can go to work right away. HedÈn M28VP with .4 .5 .6 .8 gears M-One with .4 .5 .6 .8 plus spares (plus extra wide .8 gear) HedÈn M26P (this is the older style horizontal motor, nice back up if nothing else) Aaton to BFD power Aaton camera run Panaflex to BFD power+camera run Glidecam BFD power 4 x motor cables Right angled motor cable BFD to BFD piggyback short BFD to BFD piggyback long Dtap and 4 pin XLR power cables 24v Arri / Movicam power / run cable Arri 12V to BFD power Red camera remote run Data cable / hard wire for backup in case of interference. 2 x butterfly clamps to hold focus / iris units together. 2 x neck straps Case Extra white marking strips PHOTOS: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/pho/5611631928.html $5500 Kind of bummed to sell this kit but I don't use it so time to let it go. It's pretty bloody rock solid and has never let me down. I spent an enormous amount of cash on this kit, feels like a crime to let this go but such is life! Thanks.

    Well, the time has come to part ways with my love! I'm selling off all my steadicam kit. I've throughly enjoyed myself but work has me in a different direction and it's pointless having all this kit sitting in boxes. I'm selling my Glidecam GOLD 2inch post sled, arm and vest along with all the other bits I have kicking around. Also selling my Bartech system in a seperate ad. I did mostly live tv work and commercials, this rig has been a killer system, I'll miss her. Here is a link to the official Glidecam site for all the specs and tech talk: http://glidecam.com/product-gold-sled #NOTE# My sled has the 'anton bauer' base with V-Lock plates. Included in sale: SLED (HDSDI internally) ARM VEST Docking bracket (no stand) 2 x pelican 1650 cases. The sled case has a removable lid for tools and spare bits. Everything in the photo is included, tools, cables, talley light etc - (the two blue cases aren't included, they are part of a Vocas kit, I just forgot to take them out for the photo!) Blue wedge plate with Sony VCT plate Jerry Hill hard mount - BRAND NEW, never used Spare vest ratchets NEW x 4 Spare yellow wedge plate Triax header cable 2 x extra docking stands - I used on on my magliner Marell 3 way bubble with elastic strap Low mode cage Padded arm bag Collapsable wind break, custom made with clear viewing panel Extended post for arm - get that extra length you've always wanted Tally for Sony cameras - use the viewfinder plug various BNC cables and a sled to 4pin XLR cable for monitor I'm throwing in a Marshal 7inch LCD. I think this monitor is a piece of crap but I have no use for it so I'll chuck it in. It'd be fine to throw in the kit as a back up but it's only good for indoor situations. (piece of shit!) My heart breaks a little to see her go but it's time. Kit is located in LA and can be viewed in person. Let me know any questions you might have, leigh@loosecannon.com.au Thanks.

    Ok, well the time has come to let my first rig float out the door and into the hands of someone else! For sale is my Glidecam Gold rig (SLED) with NP1 base. The sled is 10yrs old but hasn't been used for 5 1/2 years. It's been living in it's case since I upgraded the sled to a 2inch version. It's still in good condition and functions perfectly. The gimbal is in perfect condition. Only modification is the rubber grip I added. Sled comes with two LCDs, the original Panasonic plus a spare L7 Pro as a backup. (I preferred the Panasonic but the L7 was there just incase) Also included are 11 Lithium NP1 batteries. (10 pictured) 6 of these are brand new with barely any use. Charger is NOT included. Jerry Hill balacing bracket included PLUS a Mag Dock bracket for another stand or if you have a Magliner etc. ($1000 in those two mounts alone!) A Marell Digital level is also included with the sled plus associated cables. Brand new GOLD wedge plate. Custom road case. Wet weather covers. Sled has 12/24 volt power, loads of 12v/video out lemo connectors. It's a workhorse and earnt me a good living in my first years of operating. I had some heavy loads on the old girl back in the day. This would be a great starter rig for someone getting into the game or upgrading from a small light weight system. I'd be thrilled to see it go to a younger operator starting out. I was lucky to have lots of help when I started out so if I can help answer any questions it would be my pleasure. I have been keeping the rig as a back up but I think it's time to let her go for someone else to play with. NOTE - This rig is wired for a SD composite signal. I spoke with the guys at Glidecam and for less than $1700 they will totally rewire the rig for HD-SDI. If you'd rather just use a down converter then you'll save yourself a few bucks. If you'd like to learn more about it, check this link for the full blurb! http://www.glidecam.com/product-gold-sled.php This sled sells for $16,000 and that's with out the extra gear included above. Sad to see her go! Sled is based in LA. Price $5000. Email me if you'd like more details or you have questions. I have approx 25 photos I can email through. leigh@loosecannon.com.au

    Nick, I hope you spoke to your financial manger before making that bid?! Those sort of outlandish bids are the things that get you into trouble!!
  12. Leigh Hubner
    Can I get a $402 ?!

    Hold on folks, we're stepping into a time machine here! Before I begin I appreciate that an item like this is probably almost never used anymore however, in the interest that someone somewhere might put it to use, I'm keen to offer it up. It's a Marell green daylight monitor. I've had it for years but I don't think it ever saw more action on more than a handful of jobs. Still powers up great and looks the goods. Naturally it's SD to you'd need to had a down convertor inline if you only have HD out of the camera. I have no idea what it might be worth these days. I coughed up $4K back in the day! The monitor is located in LA. The pelican case is included. If you think you could use it, feel free to email me an offer. Ok, everyone go back to 2013 now! cheers Leigh Hubner Los Angeles leigh@loosecannon.com.au

    Hi there Not sure if anyone can help but I'm looking for a good tax agent in LA who knows their way around the film and TV game. If they happen to be roughly in the Burbank area then even better. Its not hard to find listings of people on the net but I often find a recommendation from someone as the best way to go! If you don't want to publish details here, feel free to just email me. Thanks so much, really appreciate the advice. Leigh Hubner leigh@loosecannon.com.au

    Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone has any Preston DM1 or DM2 motors available for sale? In an ideal world I would get 2 x DM2's but I don't know how many guys are looking to offload theirs so I might have to settle for what I can get! Let me know if you have any you would be interested in selling. Cheers, Leigh Hubner Loose Cannon Films Australia leigh@loosecannon.com.au +61 413 565 840

    Hi All, Im chasing a used 2inch post, gimbal and a docking bracket to hold the above! I would love a 'superpost' of sorts. Something that really extends out to a good length. If anyone has one or knows where to look for one, please let me know. Thanks, Leigh Hubner leigh@loosecannon.com.au Loose Cannon Films Australia

    GDay All Yes I am going to NAB and to say I am excited is an understatement!! I can't wait to visit Vegas and check out NAB. One of those things I have wanted to do for a long time and this year I decided to come and dribble over gear that I know I can't afford!! James, I will have to call you and see what your plans are. I am trying to book flights now to LA and its costing a packet. I would very much like to meet up with as many fellow ops as possible. There are so many guys I deal with over the net, meeting them in person will be really great. I guess someone more local to the event will keep us updated on where and when a get together may occur. Ok guys, can't wait. See ya soon. Leigh 'Allready has his bags packed' Hubner Brisbane Australia

    Boys! It seems to happen when the unit should be at idle. My first guess was interference from handlheld radios but Im sure it happened once or twice while there was no radio chatter. I could be wrong but Im am pretty sure. I have tried changing freqs and on one set that did fix the problem. I couldn't make it jump once I changed but then walk onto another job and it was twitchy again. I guess I will have to try changing more often. I use a 2.4gig wireless Tx system, is this likely to cause issues? (I hope not as I love it!) Jim, you say to isolate the motor cable. I don't quite understand. Are you saying that the actual cable my suffer from interference? Is there a particular type of motor cable that won't have this problem. I have several cables so that is a good one to try. Just never thought that a cable would be a problem. Interesting! Thanks for the tips so far. If there are any more, feel free to keep them coming! Leigh

    Hey All Just a quick one while I am on the forum here. I have a BFD system which is just great and has treated me very well. I have had one problem which has popped up latley and always seems to happen as the word action is yelled! (starting to think the BFD is voice activated) I seem to be getting very fast random twitches in the focus motor. I have tried swapping motors and also tried swapping reciviers. Although rare it does continue to happen. Truth is, there could be lots of combinations of things to try, many I am still to tackle. The hardest problem I am having is making the problem occur so I can test it. Just when you think you find the problem, it happens again. Usually on set! I have recently been using new batts and they seem to be pumping out a higher voltage, up to 15.4 volts. Again this is a possible cause and I am meeting with a tech tomorrow for a good going over. Just thought I would bring it up here in case someone says, yeah, I had that and (insert solution) fixed it! The problem started while working on an American TV series shot here in Australia a few months back. I was kinda nervous as it was working on this job let alone having this little problem pop up. I checked the website for the show we filmed.... not a good sign when it gets moved to 11pm on a Friday night!! Monarch Cove was the show... don't think there will be a series two!! Oh well, great experiance and I got to do some very cool shots so it was good for the reel. Thanks in advance for any ideas on BFD problem. Leigh Hubner Australia

    G'Day All I sometimes wonder will I sit back one day and think wow, I have made it. When will that be, how will I know I have made it. Will there be a bit of equipment named after me, or a famous shot that everyone talks about, maybe I will be the richest or the poorest, or I will have fancy letters after my name.... NUP... When the simpsons rip off one of my shots I will sit back and know I have made it! Very funny to see that great shot in cartoon form. Thanks also for going to the effort of posting that. Steadishots is an awesome website. Constant additions make it a great site to always keep an eye on. Well done, as you were! Leigh Hubner Loose Cannon Films Australia

    Hi Everyone I just wanted to make a small comment regarding Don Wetzel at Palomar Engineering. I needed to buy another focus motor and thoughts I would try Don's M-One motor. I sent an email to him on a Tuesday night here in Australia. 10minutes later there was a response from Don, he had woken up rather early that morning, said he couldn't sleep well. He had my email and gave me some payment options. I paid that night (Tuesday Australian time) and figured I would see it in a week or so. I had a phone call from FedEx in Australia on the Thurday saying it would be ready on Friday afternoon to pick up. I couldn't believe it! Super fast and easy to deal with. I took the motor to a job the following week and before I could even take the motor for a spin, the camera assistant told me he had lost the small sleeve / spacer that fitted to the matte box rails. We searched high and low, no sign of it. (probably turn up in 2 years in some odd place) I sent an email to Don asking for prices on the spacer and if I could buy one. He told me to forget the price, he would send me a new set of spacers for free. They turned up about 4 days later. I am so happy with the motor and just wrapped with Don's service. Normally the trip to Australia takes a while, Im guessing he is heading into FedEx with a shotgun and demanding a quick trip! Just wanted to share this story as I feel bad service often gets more of a mention over great service. Cheers, Leigh Hubner Steadicam / Camera / Jib Queensland Australia PS Just landed my first big drama gig. It's an American drama being shot on the Gold Coast here in Australia. Seems to be several days a week at this stage, may increase over time. Absolutly loving it, even though Im shitting myself at the same time. Compared to TV, its a whole other world... but Im finding my feet! I will try and take some snaps of it next time Im there.

    Hi Mikael I have used the Sony 750 quite a bit and I think I can say I am positive there is no delay. I have used it in both EFP situations where we had an HD SDI monitor and also on my steadicam where I used the SD option. All worked fine. Absolutly fantastic camera! Beautiful pics.
