Hi guys, I an almost sure there is a thread somewhere that has to do with the exact same problem I am having. Just can't seem to find it. When balancing the sled everything sits perfectly, however while still on the docking pin, when I pan the rig 180 degrees, the rig goes off balance like it is back heavy all if a sudden. Pan it back again and it sits perfectly. Is this perhaps the bearings that needs to be reset? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks Rupert

Hi guys, I was just wondering if this monitor has been used yet by anyone or any info on when it will be released? Rupert

Hi Adam, I am interested, I emailed you on adam@adamsteadi.com Thanks Rupert

Hi guys, So when I got home last night I took the rig out. Before I added the batteries to the sled I manually adjusted the stage and it worked. I then added the batteries and turned on the sled, still fine. But I am weary of playing with any switches on the nosebox. I wonder if the stage was programmed to sit to the left, in other words when I tapped the Centre switch and the the stage moved to the left, maybe the programmed preset prevented me to move the stage to the right. Not sure what I did wrong, but at least it's all working now, I just have to manually adjust the stage which is not a problem at all. I wonder if there would be any issues related to the fact that the stage remote is not with the rig.

Hi Axel, The motors are definitely engaged. When I turn it manually I feel the resistance and I hear the whirring sound but it's not moving. I am almost heading home now then I will check it out again. Thanks Axel

Just a side note, when I turn the knobs manually, it feels like it is suppose to adjust, it sounds the same as when the motor adjusts the stage.

Thanks Jerry, Will have a look asap. Only wrapping today's shoot in about 4hours. But will revert back once I had a look. I also find it very strange, because when I first switched it on and tapped the centre switch on the nosebox the stage did move left when the knobs turned,it was in the centre. So it's as if the stage was programmed to go all the way to the left. Now I can't get the tape to move toward the right. But I will have a look and see what's happening. Thanks Jerry Rupert

Hi Jerry, Thanks for sharing the info. This rig's remote is not on the gimbal and is actually not with the rig at all. I have the rig with the gimbal's normal handle, so there is no remote connected. Can I centre this stage with just using the nosebox, without having the remote? If I turn the side to side knobs manually nothing happens. Rupert

Hi guys, So I am working on a Ultra 2 rig this week. I have not worked with the motorized stage before. This might be a stupid question but I am having trouble adjusting the side to side on the stage. I have switched the rig on, then I had the s/s setting on the stage motor set to "L", then I tapped the lever to centre the stage, the stage then went all the way to the left. Then I switched the s/s setting to "R", then I tapped the centre lever again, the knob then did turn but the stage did not move. It stays on the left side. Most likely I am doing something wrong, I did not had much time with the rig yet as I am shooting today but will sit with the rig again this evening. If there is an issue with the stage, can I manually adjust side to side on the stage? I don't mind adjusting it manually just need to know if there is anything I need to do to be able to adjust it manually. Any info will be much appreciated. Thanks Rupert

Thanks Richard and Jarret for taking the time to look at the vid. Will look into your suggestions and revert back here. Rupert

Hi guys, I am trying to figure out what the problem is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/198gwlclgnk3nan/MVI_9897.MOV?dl=0 All screws have been checked, but still get this wiggle from the top stage with the post. Never dealt with something like this before. Any advise/help to get this sorted will be much appreciated. Thanks Rupert

Hi guys, I have a EFP sled which is currently supplying 12v through a 4pin lemo connector of which only 2pins are connected at the moment from one of the AB battery plates. Do I simply need to change out the 5amp breaker to 10amps or will I have to change the actual electric wiring if I want to connect the second AB plate to the 4pin lemo and supply 24v through the sled? Rupert

Hi guys, I am selling my EFP steadicam rig. The rig has been upgraded by MKV. It still has a SD post, although easy to upgrade to HD. The sled has 2 Anton Bauer plates of which only the top one is connected. The bottom plate still needs to be connected as the rig is only supplying 12V at the moment. I have been flying everything from the 435 film camera to fully loaded Alexas, wireless broadcast setups to small DSLR setups with a weight cage. I have never had a problem with the rig and I have never maxed out the arm. It is truly a really nice setup that work with most cameras. I mainly powered my monitor and accessories from my rig and powered cameras with on-board batteries. Included in the package: - EFP upgraded 1.5'' carbon fibre post - 3A/MKV gimbal - 3A ARM - I believe it's a gold spring arm - EFP VEST - Marshall V-LCD651STX-3GSDI HD 6.5'' monitor - Trans reflective perfect for outdoors - comes with panasonic battery plate. - low mode bracket - 2 Anton bauer batteries with Charger - Both batteries work fine. The LCD screen on one of the batteries is not working anymore but they still hold charge. - MKV 1.5'' docking bracket - Anton Bauer to V-lock adapter plate - 2 x dovetail plates - 1 x panasonic broadcast quick release plate - 3 allen keys - 4 x BNC to BNC cables various lenghts - 3 x 4pin XLR - 4pin XLR power cables - 1 x 4pin XLR - 3 pin Lemo power cable Sled comes with hard case and the VEST, ARM and Docking bracket comes in a big hard plastic container as seen in photos. I am only selling as a package. Selling price is $15,000.00 Buyer is responsible for organizing shipping and costs. If interested you are welcome to email me at rupertnel929@gmail.com I am based in Cape Town, South Africa. Kind regards, Rupert Nel
