Having to sell my rig for the time being, an unfortunate event but I'll get another one later. :\ Steadicam Zephyr SD with V-mount and Standard Vest (wired for HD for quick upgrade) Steadistand Original hard case, plus two custom Pelican Storm cases available if desired. Custom weightplate for flying DSLR's. V-mount 95 Wh battery dual V-mount charger All the original accessories packaged with retail are included. Looking for $10,500 (including the two Pelican cases), $10,100 without or reasonable offers. Will accept credit cards as well (plus the fee). Will ship domestic only. Everything is excellent pristine shape and has been well cared for. Will post photos in a reply. Cheers!

resolved.

I emailed Craigs and CC'd Peter. And for my situation, the screw is fine - it's the thread mount metal piece (where the screw screws into) that is WITHIN the blue clamp that is no longer able to turn to allow the clamp to close back down. Nothing seems broken, it just won't rotate within the blue clamp any more. The only solution I see is to have to use a Hex key to tighten and loosen each time I need to make an adjustment. :\

after two emails to the Tiffen guys, still no reply. Anyone have links/images/exact names of solutions that can be purchased online or at the hardware store? Thanks,

this is what I'm noticing: the metal catch with threads within the blue clamp is not rotating as it used to. it takes a lot of force to close it, even if I loosen the hex screw that tightens the grip of the clamp. the post length clamp works just fine. wonder if they are swappable.

something like this happened to me last night at the end of my shoot. it was difficult to tighten all day after going between low-mode and high-mode a few times, until finally before going to high-mode for my final shot (that i was unable to get, had to shoot it on fcuking sticks), the clamp would no longer tighten down - sounds like sand in the clamp/around post, like something's been grinding. going to take it apart today to check it out. not happy. at. all.

Does this help you? http://www.markertek.com/Connectors-Adapters/Audio-Adapters/3-5mm-Adapters/Lemo-USA/FGG-0B-303-CLAD35.xhtml?FGG-0B-303CLAD35

Hi Shawn, I'm no pro yet, but that is definitely acceptable from what I've been taught. If the entire shot requires this tilt-down, that is. If not, then you may consider slowing your drop time so that you can hold the tilt easily and still come back level easily as well. My two cents aren't worth as much as the others around here, but I thought I'd chime-in anyway. :)

the only shot that boggles me is the running shot with the three guys towards the end. you don't see much shock absorption from his running. running that fast with that thing is tough, I've done it. he's good.

I found that, on my last two shoots, the gimbal/post would make its way up to the top stage - the post clamp somehow loosened. I can understand maybe that first time, but even after I tightened it pretty well? Just ranting. Sorry. We'll see if it's a regular problem....

yeah, I found some stuff. just seems weird that an HDSDI monitor would be 4:3 format.

is it just me or is that 6.5" transflective monitor 4:3 and not 16:9? Is there a monitor that shows native 16:9 ratio with similar outdoor viewing capabilities? and thanks, I'll link up with Terry West.

Mark what's the model number of the transflective for that plug-n-play swap goodness? don't need any other adapters? just swap the plugs and screw it in?

so is there a single part from the gzoom unit I can get to add to the bartech kit? are you able to set min and max or a user spec'd range like on the bartech transmitter? thanks for the answers. I remember not seeing jack for info on the gzoom site.
