  1. Dear Tiffen Steadicam customers, All of Tiffen's Manufacturing facilities will be closed the week of July 3 through July 7th. Repairs and returns can be shipped anytime but won't be looked at until July 10th. Federal Express, UPS, USPS and DHL have been advised to hold all deliveries to us until July 10. As this closing could create some back up in repairs we will do our best to catch upquickly when we return. We appreciate your patience while our employees enjoy a well erned vacation. For Steadicam emergencies that would involve the Glendale, California Steadicam factory, please contact Kyle Young at 818-749-8748, or Frank Rush at 205-229-5572 or email him at frush@tiffen.com. Sincerely, The Tiffen Company
  2. Hi Everyone On behalf of Garrett Brown, Jerry Holway and Tiffen we thank you for the very nice comments on the G-70 Extended Range Stabilizer Arm. We intend to produce the Arm but only after extensive testing throughout the Steadicam Community. Those Operators wanting to test the arm and willing to give feedback should contact us. Next Monday (see seperate post) Garrett will be at our office in Glendale, California to have a Technology Showing of the new G-70 Arm. You will be able to ask about any part of the design criteria and try first hand the arm you have all been waiting for. As you can tell from the various Post, you will be pleased. A little information about the arm. It uses a new extrusion design that produces a very light weight arm. Coupled with the Titanium Springs the G-70 Arm is a little over 10 pounds and the G-50 about 8 pounds. The Unique spring within a spring design of the G-70 is quite unique. Both arms feature "Geo" plus "Ride" control. The exclusive No-Tools adjustment apply to both Weight and Ride controls. Either arm may be fitted with any current or previous stabilizer rig Post size for instant use. The post size may be changed to be used with various rigs owned by one operator. The current price of the G-50 Arm is $9,950.00 fitted with the standard Steel Arm Vest Interface. The same arm supplied with No-Tools Titanium Arm/Vest Connector is $10,600.00. The G-50 Arm is available for Immediates Shipment. No price has been set for the G-70 Arm. We are very proud of both the new G-50 and G-70 arm designs. The G-50 is shipping with new Archer and Clipper2 systems worldwide. I am sure you will soon hear reports from those operators. We will have demonstrator systems in the Glendale Showroom for you to stop by and try at any time. We look forward to seeing you Monday, October 17, 2005 between 5:30 and 7:30 PM to spend time with Garrett and both G-50 and G-70 Extended Range Stabilizer Arms.
