Hey Blair,
Thanks for all that info buddy really appreciate the reply. Yeah it is a shame I missed it. Pennsylvania might be a bit of a stretch. I guess the next time its here in Canada ill definitely try making it.
Yeah after reading a bit more about the Scout (which I only found out cause of a previous post on the tread by Alan). Its seeming more and more appealing. However, I would ideally like to try one out. The price is rather steep as well almost double compared to the Pilot AA. Do you have any idea if there is a significant difference in performance in terms of hardware (vest ,arm and stage) and ease of use The Scout looks a lot nicer but is it that much better?. I know it all comes down to practice at the end of the day. Is worth my time, saving up some more dough in oder have a Scout? At the moment I am not planning to shoot anything other than lightweight cameras. So the Pilot I thought was my only option. With news of the Scout- oh how the decision gets trickier than it already was.
Thanks again for the link. Ill keep checking for the next workshop in and around Toronto.
