  1. Well, I'm getting to my very last price, otherwise I prefer to keep it as a precious back-up for my Transvideo: 2600 US $ (2295 Euros) buyer pays shipping
  2. I'm selling my trusty CRT TB6 smart monitor from XCS which remains a world standard among Steadicam operators in terms of daylight viewability, wider angle of view, sharpness and electronic versatility. Among other features, 3 user selectable channels with built in pattern generator, separate vertical and horizontal zoom & sweep controls and possibility to zoom up & down in aspect ratio or to use 8 pages of programmable frameline storeable settings. It comes with a lyre-shaped support arm that I designed with neutral balance when tilting the monitor in mind. It includes a MK-V 19 mm monitor clamp with the standard center distance (I'm not providing the bars) and can thus be adapted on virtually all brands of Steadicam. Package can be tested in Paris (France) and includes a Pelican case, TB6 with Duo Digital Frameliner (#152), custom-made yoke, monitor hood and three 8 pin 1B power and video input connectors and one D-tap power connector. Some minor cosmetic blemishes but in perfect working order. You'll need a down converter for HD use. I will sell separately the original straight 15 mm rail system monitor support arm. Current purchasing price of my package is around 15000 $ (without case and extra cables). I'm asking for 3000 euros (3325 USD). Buyer pays shipping.

  4. Back to my first love of front mounted vests that I've successfully used during the first 21 years of my Steadicam career, I'm on the verge of buying an Artemis one which is nice, but... My new one can't compare with the one I'm currently selling in terms of comfort under heavy load and orthopedic integrity. I just made my first stint with an Alien Revolution and gosh!, I was on the verge of canceling my sale, even so I consider myself as quite fit. Thus, I'm still selling a Daniel Sauvé Design back-mounted vest. Very universal, will accommodate many sizes thanks to a large assortment of extra padding, along with an air bladder. I'm 1m80 tall and I weigh 83 kg, but this vest has never failed to fit other people in many workshops and trainings. I routinely use it both in goofy and regular and the carbon arm swaps in a jiffy. Very minor cosmetic signs of use I provide the original large DSD soft case, along with leather soft bags for the carbon arm and the back plate. Extra screws, latches and spare parts included. If you happen to be in the Paris (France) area, you can test it to your heart's content. I lower the price to 2500 euros, shipping not included. Paypal welcome.

Range from 37" to 66" (94cm to 1m 67cm), XCS bayonet mount top and bottom, 16 pin connector (allows to change over in 3 minutes), comes in rigid canvas covered tube case. I'm Paris based and of course visitors can try it on. 1900 Euros obo, shipping not included, Paypal welcome. Please contact me at jeanmarc.bringuier@gmail.com

  7. You know perfectly well, Kareem, that I did 90 per cent of this shoot, as long as Steadicam is concerned. What need is there to backstab a colleague, who happens not to be gifted in blowing his own horn? I've never contributed to this esteemed forum so far, but I stumble upon your innuendos and I think they need to be straightened out. I was called by Stanley one month into the film to replace John Ward who happened to be both businessman (through his rental company) and shop steward on "Full Metal Jacket". Stanley was not happy with his work behind the tanks and thought the Steadicam contribution needed a little more stamina, which of course is not to say that John is a bad operator. Needless to say, my first month was no bed of roses, because I was shooting with John's gear and all the shots I did were explained by the "Guv" to him, without a single word to the actual performer (it was his way of testing me, as Stanley is a great chess player who loves assessing people by pushing them to their limits). I remember trying to sympathise with John (my presence was certainly traumatic to him!) but to no avail. Finally, I had enough of being tripped up and asked Stanley for a clarification which I got. I shot with Joe Dunton's equipment as of october and up until december and John Ward disappeared from the set. I went to shoot a large commercial in Venezuela, as Lee Ermey got his car accident which delayed the whole film (it went on insurance claim). I was called again in the springtime and did a little more than six months of actual work all in all. I can ascertain that Stanley was happy of my Gallic way of floating his camera, and he even wrote me a kind letter which mentionned "your tremendous dedication to the film and, of course, your excellent work" I'm certainly proud to have humbly contributed to this great anti militaristic work. Sorry to butt in, but this awkward posting is in no way motivated by a bloated ego (I know alas that the clashes of egos is a sorry part of our trade) but I can't stay silent when I google by chance upon such nonsense. No hard feeling though... Jean-Marc Bringuier
