Hello everyone and happy new year, I'm selling my trusty Exovest (Pictures attached). The vest is in perfect working condition, but as you can see it has cosmetic scratches from normal use on set. I would advise to change the top pad as it has lost its original thickness, nevertheless you can use it straight away if you decide to (it didn't bother me). The vest comes with one booster pad and its original soft case. Asking for 3500 US$ OBO. Buyer pays for shipping. Thank you. Christopher

Sold, thank you.

Hello everyone, Hope you're safe and well. Ever since I upgraded to the M-1 rig, I haven't been using this one. Originally planned to keep it as a backup kit but it's been sitting around for quite some time now. I'm the first and only owner of this rig; bought new from Tiffen in February 2015. Below is what's included in this sale: - Steadicam Archer 2 sled - Dovetail plate with two screws - Steadicam G50X arm - Rain cover + bag for the arm - 1x 12V Lemo to XLR 4-pin cable - 1x Transvideo Lemo power cable (5-pin to 8pin) - 1x 24V Lemo to Fischer, Alexa power cable - 1x 24V Lemo to Fischer, Alexa Mini/Amira power cable - Low mode bracket - Docking Bracket - Thermodyne hard case for sled and arm - No monitor is included The rig has some normal wear and tear, but is fully functional. You only need a monitor and a vest to have a fully functioning kit. I taped two small pieces of tape on the top stage to keep the dovetail firm in its position. (This was a known issue for these sleds) I'm asking for 13,500 US dollars for everything plus shipping. Item is located in Beirut, Lebanon. Payment via International wire transfer. If you're interested, please send me an email at the following address: contact@christopherkechichian.com Have a good day. Best, Christopher

True, but it's always better to have a guide to refer to. Thanks for your reply. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you Steve for the detailed reply. May I ask why was your product discontinued? I'm interested in buying one... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gentlemen, I'm the proud owner of a Transvideo Cinemonitor 6" X-SBL and love everything about it. However, after many jobs I'm noticing that the included virtual horizon 2 becomes off balance after a pan, tilt or other minor movement (even though on their website it's written that the monitor has real-time shock compensation and acceleration compensation.) I have already turned off the (0 Cal on Tap) parameter and still have the problem, which is starting to annoy me honestly. So, I'm herewith looking for solutions and would like your expert advice. Transvideo have the Virtual horizon 3, can anyone give me their feedback on that? and what about the Tiffen WHM-BG? anyone recommends that? Pros and cons of each... I know that XCS have their programmable digital level plus as well, but at 9700$ it's far out of my budget. Thank you, Chris

Brooks, thank you for this wonderful post and for all the great work you've done. Much respect!

Sold! Thank you all for your interest.

Hi all, I'm selling my backup monitor. It has served me well for many years and since I got a new one, I stopped using this one completely . It has cosmetic wear and tear, but it's in very good working condition. Great for someone looking to buy a quality monitor on a limited budget. 3G SD/HD SDI, HDMI, analog, YPrPb & RGB For a complete list of specs, please check the transvideo website. (It's the 2011 generation) It comes with Hood, screen protective cover and Pelican case. Asking for 1000$, buyer pays shipping. Email to: contact@christopherkechichian.com Attached Images

I believe that's a new record time...

Thank you gentlemen for your replies, much appreciated! I finally got the 6" one since the 8" is too heavy for my rig but I can't complain, the monitor is just excellent!

Hi Greg, I reread your post regarding the batteries and power management, but I have a curious question. ( please excuse my naivety) You said you're running your sled now with two 235Wh batteries, however batteries with this capacity weigh around 2Kg each, so how do you balance your sled? I think it's nearly impossible to have two batteries on the opposite side of the monitor (no dynamic balance, and maybe a chance to have vibrations). Do you use one battery on the bottom of the sled and another on the opposite side of the monitor? Isn't this kind of setup a bit limiting? Thanks again.

Hey everyone, So I'm looking to upgrade from my old 6" Transvideo monitor to the newer daylight viewable one but I'm lost with which size to choose. The price difference is negligible and the number of nits is quite enough in both so they're not a factor to consider. However I'm more interested in the pros and cons of each one in terms of weight (is the big one too heavy and might cause vibrations?), framing (is the smaller one easier to scan quickly?)(does the bigger size help see minor details in the frame?) etc. Thanks for all the feedback. Chris
