I'll take my rig to a cnc guy and get that hole drilled, then. Thank you, Jerry.

Hi Jerry, thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm aware that the pin is needed - but I was wondering if a clamping gimbal handle also was important, or if the pin was enough to hold it all.

How important is the clamping on the gimbal to hold the rig upside down? My rig (Glidecam x-45) doesn't have a clamp on the gimbal nor a hole for the pin. Considering drilling the hole, but if the clamp on the gimbal is important here, I won't.

6'3" operator here. My PRO-vest arrived the other day ( :D), luckily the ibaird came along with it. First tried the vest with the original bracket - the arm got way to high up, and I got tired of holding my elbow so high to avoid bumping it into the arm. Then put on the ibaird - perfect. I can now do both "low" and "normal" height shots, and my elbow is more free/relaxed. And as Job says, the weight is more on the hips, much better. For me it's a full time bracket.

So I got the stand the other day. It's great. And I take back what I said about weels on a stand. I love them. Here's a pic from a gig I did on a cruise ship yesterday. Rolled that rig all over the place.

Great topic Janice, I hope and think this thread is gonna grow big. I really liked the tape on arm-tip! Here are two from me: 5) Staying hydrated is important. I put a piece of velcro on my docking bracket and another under my water bottle. Now it´s always nearby when I dock the rig, and I can freely move the stand around without taking the bottle off. 6) I'm no flat-foot. Therefore I'm using up-bended soles with cushioning in my shoes to get the whole foot supported. Like walking on air.

Sorry for your loss, Jessica.

Just curious, is that a glidecam sled?

aaand I think CVP buys them from Tiffen - according to the package I received from CVP (had stickers by Tiffen and FGS-900073 is Tiffen's product code). The shipping costs were something like €9 to Finland.. All thumbs up for CVP! 2 rise LS32 stands are perfect for the job and you can forget the sandbags. 2 rise (2 telescoping sections) is also good if you have a superpost to balance. Caster wheel set work well in studio enviroment when the set decorator decides to have a wall built just there where it was OK to set up your base camp 15 minutes ago.. Wheels are good add-ons to take with you when you want but weigh quite a bit. I take mine off (10 sec job) when I know there's not going to be a flat floor to roll around :) Lykke til Stig! Tusen takk Tuomas! I just ordered the stand from CVP. Went a little nuts and added the wheels as well. Now I'll be rolling on the floors like a madman for sure. Interesting to see what preferences people have when it comes to the docking stand. Thank you for all responses, guys :) Best, Stig

Sweet operating, Mike :-)

Anywhere we can see the shots he did?

You could also go for the Glidecam gold bracket: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/820191-REG/Glidecam_GLGDDBRKT_Gold_Series_Balance_and.html I think it will fit with the x-22, but double check with glidecam first: http://www.glidecam.com/contact.php

Turns out the site I linked to only ships to US. I'm located in Norway. Found an international dealer: http://cvp.com/index.php?t=product/steadicam_fgs-900073 Not sure how wide that base is, it doesn't say. If anyone have an international dealer to recommend, let me know. Too bad my 1650 case already is stuffed with...stuff.

Hello, Looking for an American Stand, preferably the Black 2 riser LS32. With or without wheels. stig.indrebo@gmail.com Thanks, Stig

Thanks for your reply Ron. Yeah no i'm not very fond of the idea of using weels on the stand myself, although I've never tried it. Shooting too much out in the woods etc with bulky terrain and obstacles. I'll probably go for the wider base. Cant stand (...) an unstable docking station ;)
