I am interested in this for my flyer arm as well. Thanks

I'm a fresh newbie in the world of Steadicam. I own a flyer and thought it would be a great idea to take the Eastern Classic Workshop in Atlanta and find out if this is what I want to do. I wasn't disappointed! I consider myself lucky now know a few people on this forum from the workshop. I also consider myself lucky to be able to read here about the experiences established ops are having on the forum.

But there is an issue. How can I have peace of mind about buying a used G arm? The last thing I want to do is invest in a problem at this level. And can an operator sell their equipment knowing that they are dumping a problem on a fellow op? Or is this simply an evolution of a product?

Buying new is a pretty big bite to swallow at this stage of the game. Even though they had the X arms at the workshop, I was not experienced enough to feel /see the difference.

Speaking of stuff on youtube has anyone posted this?

Thought it was a gag to start with...

 

Wow - Wonder if he can drive and do makeup too. Seriously isn't it still just a shoulder mounted camera?! Wait, never mind, I see the swiss army knife at the back! :P
