  1. Hi all,

    About 4 years ago, I bought a Provid 2 system and modified it to HD, so as to serve me as a back up.

    I have decided to put it up for sale. It's a sled for light to medium-heavy camera set ups, that can balance very easily in static and dynamic mode.

    - This system is fully functional, clean and well maintained & it is wired with contemporary quality wires. It's a 12volt sled.

    - The gimbal is like new and can handle loads up to 16kg with the correct arm.

    - The sled has 1 HD and 1 SD line down the 2x telescoping center post.

    - It has 3x Lemo 0B 4pins (FGG.0B.304) for 12v power + video and 2x Lemo 1B 3pins (FGG.1B.303) for 12v power. These Lemo have the same pin outs like the MK-V sleds (http://www.mk-v.com/?p=556).

    - The monitor bracket is made out of aluminium and carbon fiber parts and it is vey light and strong with no vibrations. It can be adjusted to accommodate other monitors too and it can keep the dynamic balance of the sled if you re-adjust the monitor.

    - The monitor that comes with the sled is a Marshall XHB with 800nits of brightness and works only in SD mode. This comes as a gift with the sled, so as the monitor bracket doesn't ship empty.

    - Included with the sled is the original Thermodyne case with pick'n'puck foam from Pelican in the lower part, that can fit the sled & many other pieces of equipment above it. Also, 2 dovetail plates are included, along with some basic cables + a custom made rain cover for the lower part of the sled.

    - The battery, the stand and the docking bracket that are depicted, are not included in the sale.

    Price for the sled & accessories: 3.750€ + shipping.

    The equipment is located in Greece.

  4. Hello guys,

    I just bumped into this post and I have upgraded a few Provid sleds and modified SK2's.

    - Trevan, if you want to upgrade your SK2 sled, you need to get a little deeper into the centerpost - until the bottom of it actually. You must remove all the old wiring and also the lemo's that connect the centerpost and the base of the sled. In order to make things work as they should and the sled to be able to separate from the base, you will need to make connections at that point - this is not an easy thing to do. I don't want to discourage you, but if you are not great with soldering and wiring, you will not make it work and also damage the original parts. And you will also need a little bit of fantasy, to find smart and convenient ideas.

    About the addition of post, this is something difficult and will need a very experienced mechanist to do such work and not 100% sure that he will manage to do it, if he is not specialised in the steadicam world.

    The nice thing with the SK2 base is that it already has threads at its lowest point, covered with a protective cap that it can be unscrewed. In my first ever SK2, I had my mechanist machine a stainless steel block with the same negative threads and screw it down there for some additional weight (picture: SK2sled_BottomWeight).

    Here is my most recent modification / combination of a SK2 centerpost with Provid top stage and base (picture: Provid2_sled_01):

    In that sled, in order to have both HD & SD lines down the post, I have added small boxes up and down and also keep the original ones at place, but change them with fresh connectors (pictures: Provid2_UpperBox_01, Provid2_LowerBox):

    You can see the full sale post with more pictures here: 

     

    - Davo, yes you can make a Provid arm, by combining two SK single arms. Please be aware that you MUST NOT try to get into the moving segments of the arms, but ONLY in the joints. The closed parts of the segments are able to hurt or even kill you, if you try to disassemble them without knowing what you are doing. Please be very careful if you will do the procedure yourself or even better, go to a good mechanist and do it there.

    Davo, the second picture you posted with the 2 Provid arms is from an older sale post of mine!

    I hope I helped a bit guys - thank you!
