  1. Hi Stew,

    here is a setup with an Alexa M. I'm sure it works with Mini as well.

     

    The plate is mounted backwards to the camera body, the front end of the 15 mm rods is locked to the plate with an adjustable 15 mm lens support bracket turned upside down and screwed into plate where the locking pin usually is.

     

    A rocksolid vibration free build. I ended up with a 45-90 Hawk zoom on the camera worked like a charm.

  2. Hi Joe Papa,

    I hope that's your real name. Welcome to the forum!

     

    Thank you so much for your post here, but I would urge you to be very specific about who and what kind of equipment you write.

     

    There are two Steadicam related products out there called "Omega...".

    One is made by MK-V is called "Omega R" and I can assure you (first hand knowledge), their electronics and software is FAR from a $79 dollar controller.

    That thing actually works.

     

    The other one is made by Branch-Q (Howard Smith) and called "Omega lite". I have no first hand knowledge about it, but it looks like a gimbal spinoff.

    Does your post refer to this product?

     

    Cheers

  3. Visited a friend of mine 2 weeks ago. We had a long conversation about different vests etc. He showed me his Sachtler vest and how the waist section had deformed. We looked closer and took off the aluminium section of the waist pad to discover it had crackes left of the main bar (he is goofy footed). It was almost falling of. I'm not sure if it was a ACT 1 or 2, but that scared the hell out of us.
