I know it's a bit off-topic, but googling for female P-Taps I stumbled across this site. http://steadicamparts.com/cart/index.php has anyone had experience with those custom made cables??

If your shoot will be delayed until 2013 ;) http://www.arri.com/news.html?article=1040&cHash=c6e726efd4254d283bb9526b40541300

@Wolfgang I already got me a set of keys in inch size, but none fitted. So I'd prefer a single one instead of another box :) Do you have the exact size?? Must be something between 1/8 & 5/32. Maybe 9/64, 17/128, 19/128?? thanks

I also had this Problem with my Zephyr gimbal...Recently even the Post slipped through the gimbal...I now bought a Set of allen keys in different inch sizes, but none fitted the hex Key opposite of the gimbal clamp...does anyone knows the exact size of this Screw??

don't want to start a new topic, so here my question :) http://www.ebay.de/itm/150660949664?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I'm considering getting one of these to put it atop of my monitor (Zephyr HD). The sizes would fit just fine, and it would be very easy to get it on and off :) But has anyone had some issues with magnets and LCD displays?? As far as I know there should be no affection for the monitor, like with CRT f.e., but has anyone had any issues, esp. in the long term?? many thanks, stefan

I like the fact that it seems she's wearing a nightdress...would she also show up on set in this outfit?? :D

I'm also tending to go for a converter, which handles at least SDI and HDMI input and SDI (BNC) output. Optionally with a composite and/or component input/output. anyone knows some devices for reasonable prices?? just found the stuff from blackmagic or Aja, but none could handle both inputs. http://www.marcotec-shop.de/de/products/cat_435/detail_3656.htm http://www.bpm-media.de/de/Sales/Sende-und-Studiotechnik/Konverter/Mini-Konverter/Blackmagic-Design-Minikonverter-HDMI-SDI-2::207269.html http://www.bpm-media.de/de/Sales/Sende-und-Studiotechnik/Konverter/Mini-Konverter/Blackmagic-Design-Minikonverter-Heavy-Duty-HDMI-SDI::353544.html many thanks, stefan

- my chest measurement is 95 cm, hips are 90 cm, from my hip to the shoulders I'm about 60 cm. So is it the standart vest?? - I think I read in another zephyr topic, that the HD monitor is a slightly modified marshall 7", can you confirm this and maybe the exact type?? Because an option for me would be to get the SD version and then upgrade it with the transvideo illa superbright for 1.500 EUR which is here in the marketplace for sale :) Depending on the price I have to pay for the HD upgrade here in germany I'm still brooding what would be the better option. thanks, stefan

would also be interested to hear some feedback about the actioncam products...

Hello everyone, been reading a lot in this forum lately but now my first post here :) and please excuse me, if some of my questions will sound funny to some, I'm new to the game :) I'm planing to get me a good rig to start with, and until now the Zephyr is my top of the choice. But I still do have some questions about it. - how is the steadicam-service in europe esp. germany (I think I read that there is a headquarter in the UK)?? If something goes wrong, do I have to get in contact with my local dealer or directly with tiffen?? And what If I buy the rig directly in the USA, do I get support from the office in Europe/germany?? - what's the difference between the standart and the compact vest?? Is it worth the extra charge?? - and last but not least a basic question: If I shoot with RED f.e. in 4k, and my monitor only accepts HD or SD, do I have to get an extra downconverter to get a signal?? same thing If I shot HD and have only a SD monitor -> downconverter?? many thanks in advance for your answers...much appreciated :) greetings from germany, stefan
