  1. So since it's HDMI, can you bypass a Decimator or any of the other devices if your camera has HDMI out on it (Canon c300)? If so that should wipe out having to have an another external device added onto the steadicam. My idea is to use the other part to connect to a SMALLHD DP6 monitor that I currently have to use for a "modified" VV.
  2. Jess, trust me on this, don't worry as its a PHENOMENAL piece of work!
  3. The Redrock Micro MICROREMOTE is going to shock the heck out of a lot of people! This i know!!
  4. CLASS ACT OKC!! Dear Boston (Kevin Garnett and Rondo) please see how the young guys do it when they lose. Great job OKC, but it's the HEAT'S time to shine!! Well done to the organization of the Miami Heat!!

  5. Happy Fathers Day to all of the great men!!

  6. God has called a very special lady to his home and she was truly an amazing woman and an amazing mother to her daughter (my wife) and her son. It has been a blessing to me to be a part of her life and I'll always remember and miss how amazing she was as a mother and mother in law. My heart aches right now for my wife, brother in law and her family as I truly know how much they loved their mother and how much she loved them. Lord bless us all.

  7. Did they just call out the HEAT fans for sounding like the tennis match at the French Open? #GetLouderFans

  11. It's production time today!

  12. R.I.P. Commissioner Bill Moss. I had the chance to produce commercials for him several years ago for several campaigns. Your calmness will be missed.

  13. Once you have kids and start attending events with your kids it's easy sometimes to want to slap the "ish" out of the parents as their behavior is just as bad as their unruly children. DAMN!!

  14. Happy New Year to everyone'

  15. I know this post has been up a while and its old, but just took delivery of the ZEPHYR TODAY! I'm so happy, and I haven't had a chance yet to fly it, but im a Jedi in training now. Starting Tuesday, I have a private 2 day training and I'm excited. Thanks to Mark and Jan Arthur for all of the info and helpful tips. I got the SD version because I'm not feeling the extra $3500, but I'll have JA work with me on what I currently have! Photos coming soon, but it's time to become a Jedi in training! Wish me well!!

  17. Funny that you make mention of this as I just asked Janice and spoke with Harry at TIFFEN, about this. From my understanding the difference is the HD Monitor and the assembly of the cables that are configured for the HD Version. I to am getting the same version, but would love to have the HD version, but it's a $3500 price difference.
  18. Are you mounting the camera so that its CG is just slightly behind the centerpost (about a 1/2 inch)? That's generally a good place to start in the DB process. In general (not specifically related to DB), you may want to add a weight plate (homemade or from Janice Arthur here on the forum) to bring your camera payload into the 10-12 pound range. More mass settles the rig down a bit. Again, the battery paddle adjustment is SLIGHT...a degree or two makes a significant difference, and it's easy to overshoot the adjustment. Hope this helps! Thank you Mark. Guess I need to contact Janice Arthur and see if I can get one. I'm not the most mechanically inclined individual, but I believe I did follow the steps when trying to mount the camera so that the CG is slightly behind the center post, but I will try that again. I also probably need to add more weight to the camera to get it close to the 10lb range. I have a RedRock Rig configured to the Cinema HDSLR Rig, but it weighs over 10lbs. Even when I stripped it down a little it still came in at 11.08lbs. I know they say it should be 10lbs or less, but I don't know if that extra weight will put too much stress on it.
  19. Happy Thanksgiving! Any advice on achieving dynamic balance with a Canon 5D/7D with the battery grip attached? So far it has been non existence for me. I have the Steadicam Pilot along with IDX battery on the bottom. Any helps or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.

  20. Can you repost this video please? I´ll try. I have the STEADICAM PILOT with a 5D and battery grip attached. I cannot for the life of me come CLOSE to achieving DYNAMIC BALANCE. There is someone on youtube that has done it ( ), but it looks like they have adding something to it.
