Funny I thought i joined the steadicam forum..... it appears I joined the WWE Smackdown forum instead!
For christ sake everybody calm down if a post offends you ignore it don't rise to it!!! although I think Eric over reacted on this one!
It is in a companys interest to protect it's products though. Look at Steadicam you can't (or couldn't things may have changed) buy just one part of the system the arm for example, you have to buy a whole rig! thats there way. If AB said you can only buy 4batts and a charger nothing seperate would this work????? No!!!!
P.s. I've kept my identity secret as I don't want to ruin my name by joining in stupid silly arguments. This is why people leave!
