  1. Just replied to everyone's messages, sorry haven't checked this in a few days!
  2. Add my name to the interest list for a smaller, less expensive, yet still easily paired receiver like this to add to my 2nd gen 2000 system!
  3. Just picked up a few more monitors so this one has to go! $3,300 OBO
  4. In no particular order: Gimbal Mounted Zoom/Focus Device - My preference is a Stanton Fiber Jumper - 6' works great for me, ordered mine through Phoenix Triax Adapter (less common and usually the show will have one for their Steadi) Teleprompter and Mount Broadcast Camera Plate - I like the Cam-Jam plate, it's super lightweight, drops the CG, and gets rid of all vibrations. Return Monitor and mount Lots of various tools for whatever chaos arrises BACKUPS OF EVERYTHING - if it goes down and you're live, you have to get back up immediately. A partial list, but should get you started. The more you operate the more you will learn what you need and what you can live without.
  5. Personally I rate them based on their cable art.... A lot of what Robert and Nathan already relayed is great advice. Like them, I always try to hire my own utility unless I'm covering another operator on their show, in which case I will lean heavily on the regular Steadicam utility there to watch out for me. There's a lot they can teach you about the show and no one should loose out on work just because I'm covering for a day. A good utility is worth their weight in gold and always gets a Christmas gift! Some basic things to remember when dealing with a new utility is PATIENCE AND COMMUNICATION. They are learning and try to keep that in mind, you may have to coach them along and even show them a few tricks. This is a great teaching opportunity! Always look out for the safety of you both, they will probably be fully occupied with their over-undering and focused on not getting tripped up in their loops. I always insist that they be on headset so they can hear what the Director and cameras are saying. This helps them anticipate my movements before we get a tally. I am also careful to explain the shots we have planned and some that might come up without notice. I remind them of the shots as well while we are on air, i.e. what's coming up next. Hand signals are a huge help when navigating the set or crossing cameras as is a look back to let them know we are about to go. There's probably a whole lot more that I could say on the subject but we are about to start rehearsing here so I'll check back in later. Hope this helps!

  7. Thanks Afton! Definitely helps to see that. I recently met up with Jon here in LA and he was singing the praises of his new box, I guess I didn't make the connection that you were the one who did it for him.

  12. Well said Tommy! A special thank you to all those in our community that have served. Your sacrifice is not unappreciated. Happy Veterans Day!
  13. I am listing this for a friend of mine who purchased the rig originally for his production company and has since decided he would like to sell it. He is located in New York City. The following is a copy of his for sale listing: "I bought this Steadicam Zephyr package new earlier this year and have used it literally 2 or 3 times since then. Its pretty much in brand new condition minus a few minor, barely noticeable scratches. I figured I'd sell it since I never use it and I have no interest in becoming a Steadicam operator. B&H sells this exact same kit for $10,995 before taxes and I'm looking for $7,000. Thats more than 4k off of a pretty much a brand new Steadicam. Here is the B&H link http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/996077-REG/steadicam_zecxhvbvzz_zephyr_v_camera_stabilizer_system.html Im also including the Steadicam - Mini low-mode kit which is $400 at B&H for free. Here are the specs for exactly what it comes with. Lightweight Zephyr Vest Camera Mounting Chassis (Sled) Iso-Elastic Arm Vernier Stage 7" HD Monitor Tally Sensor Docking Bracket 12V Power Cable Dovetail Plate 4 x Merlin Start Weights 4 x Merlin Middle Weights 3' (0.9 m) BNC Video Cable BNC to RCA Adapter EFP Instructional DVD Hard Case with Handle and Wheels" --------------------------------------------- Please feel free to contact him directly with any questions or if you're interested in purchasing it.
