If you don't mind me asking, where could I find the PDF file of the Zephyr assembly with part numbers? I've always wanted to open and clean my gimbal as well as service my top stage.

Hi Francisco

This pic who gave me was Dan Ikeda when he worded on Tiffen.

I think you would email Joe at jwilbur@tiffen.com and ask him about this pdf, he should help you better...

So the gimbal is super simple to unbuilt and build again the top is more complicated and I’ve never opened that...

Ask him about it and share with us...

Thanks, good luck...

I’ve never put more than 22lb camera package on my Zephyr but I have one of that pin on my tool box...

What I know about that, you need to take care your gimbal, it’s usually the main center pin break when you overload the sled, so that you should have one more to replace if shit happen in the field... see the pic to ask the replace part...

Here is a photo of the CG monitor yolk on the rig. Mine was made by Frederick Sturm. here's his post talking about it. You can contact him. http://www.steadicamforum.com/index.php?showtopic=20074

Very nice Scott, I like it...

I will try to buy this from his, but he doesn’t mentioned he can shipping to Brazil, If not I’ll try to do a similarly here...

Thanks for the picture and the link...

Thanks for the advice, I'm thinking that if I have to add significant wight to the sled to make a heavier build work then I will for sure be pushing the envelope weight wise...

If the Aero 30 is the Zephyr replacement then how come Steadicam are still selling the Zephyr? Kind of confusing...

Hi Dominik, as Dan Ikeda had explain me the Aero 30 is a lighter Zephyr because this both use the same arm, the A30 carryover around 13kg and the Zephyr 10,4kg of payload.

In my opinion A30 is a bigger Pilot and I think they don’t sell them very well, so that they keeping selling the Zephyr that for me is the better intermediary rig they ever made...

Take care of your choice... Good Luck!!

Hi folks, I’d like to see some pictures of the monitor yolk for the Zephyr, I’ve never seen that and I’ll try to building here in Brasil for mine...

About the conversation, I’ve flying a lot of Alexa Mini and Amira on my rig, and using anamorphic and spheric lenses, some heavy like Cookes anamorphic lens or Master Prime spherical lens and It’s ok for that, the weight is around 9/10kg and I power the camera from the sled and I did a homemade second battery plate that works great because it is lighter then the original Tiffen and I can put the other battery to shorter the post, so that I believe the lens like the Optimo short zoom like 15-40mm, 30-76mm and 45-120mm won’t be problem to fly on...

Lisa or Scott I have the same Marshall monitor, send me a pic from the monitor yolk please...

Many thanks for that...

Good luck for all...

Hi Guy, i´m new here and i´m so gled to be part of this quenstions, my name is Junior Loiola from Brazil, so i have some to ask you.

I had a problem with the Artemis Cine, that have 3 IDX v-mount batteries by steadicam and i had powered the Bartech, the CamWave hd transmitter, the Arri Alexa and the Astor Monitor, but the monitor were burned i don´t know why... Have you listened something like this? What is wrong with this? The sled was made to power more than two acessories plus the camera with the same batteries, right?

I wish someone would help me with this. Thanks
