I saw some interest in the ring lite mini on here a few months ago and thought i would see if any interest in a full size
led ring lite, it's practically brand new, it's not as portable as the mini though as it does run through an ac plug instead of a battery mount
-
looks like a steal of a deal, i think im too wide at around 38" waist?
-
there is one for set currently for sale on red user forums
-
the lights are used but working fine
-
It's not the usual thing to list but i have 2 hmi light kits with ballast for sale, I'm looking to sell them both but will take an offer on 1 as well.

I do have an interesting twist to a UK buyer with a spare bedroom, I'm short accommodations for the para-olympics Aug 28-Sept10, if you have 2500 GBP AND a spare bedroom within a decent commute of olympic village, I could bring my provid over and leave it when I return to Canada.....

Very cool!

Buy An Actionproducts rig. Lower price great build quality. Arm will do 77lbs. Back mounted vest is very comfortable. Dont know what else to say.
I do like their backmount vest!!

what is the best rig to start on? anyone have recommendations ?
I do have a steadicam pro vid available to me should i start on that?
i need to fly pro HD cams like panasonic 900 or sony 800.
Tuff question. The provid cant handle HD signals, so you need to dowconvert the signal. The arm and sled cant handle to much weigt, but if you strip the camera down you might be able to get it in balance. The provid will limit you fast, so if your looking to invest in a rig i would reccomend something else. There is enough to find on the second hand market. The provid isnt a rig you can rebuild or upgrade. For learning, oh yes, go start flying with it. I started with an sk2 many moons ago. Buy a book, get a workshop and practise till you drop ;-)

You are so kind Job,,,,
It should be better to leave your girl friend for a travel than to start with a Pro-vid (I had one).
Zephyr is, for me, one the best choices to begin and start flying steadicam systems... Any way , if you can get an "old" EFP well used and good priced, go go go...
It is only my opinion...
best...
..and agree... If you found a second hand Pro-vid, may be the CRT monitor was in it last second of life...
I have a seen a couple provids out there with nice HD monitor conversions, it can fly the sony 800 easily. Even the 24v addon battery conversions look good, extend the life of the rig, do the job just fine.
If you have the provid for cheap and it does the job what is the problem with that?

Hi!
Might as well pitch in (as a pilot owner looking to upgrade)
The pilot vest (as all tiffen vests for that matter) have all the necessary in-out/side to side adjustments that higher-end systems have.
For reference you can check this or this presentation by Peter Abraham (Tiffen’s Director of Technical Services) on vimeo. He covers the pilot, the scout, and the zephyr.
My suggestion would also be to get the scout or a used flyer. Having more inertia is good!
Between the 2, I would go with the scout if the price difference was not to big. I like all the those new little advances they incorporated...
You must consider the expense of a battery system as well (couple of batts+charger).
Good luck!

Looks like I'm going to order a Scout, most likely some time next week. Gulp!

I'm 6' and 250lb my provid vest fits me fine and with the velcro there is alot of room to expand, mine and another Provid have been on here for about 2 months atleast for around 4k, sounds like you are handy and could swap out the SD monitor for an HD LCD etc ... flyer isn't the only game in town!

lol, i didnt know i should have started off with 'free to go a good home'
-
I see a Provid on Ebay with a buy it now of $5000.00 which might be close to the current value of this type of rig.
I am willing to match this price at $5000.00,
buyer will have to cover their own INSURED shipping costs at this price.
I'd still be interested in any partial trade with some pro Nikon lenses as well.
Thanks for your interest

ok you can just let me know, this is my email, jipedini@tin.it
sent you an email quite a while ago but didn't hear anything back, have you found a provid?
-
Lot's of nibbles no bites, don't be afraid to throw an offer, my Euro friends yes I can fly into any city on my way to the Olympics and deliver this in person.

Hard to gauge what the current market is for a used rig like this provid.
I don't really want to go any lower than $6000.00 USD or 4750 Euro with one vest.
If I don't sell at this price, I will be upgrading the mint greenscreen, with a HD/SD switchable LCD and keep this baby for film school in the fall.

Gentlemen,
Thank you very much for your replies and detailed information.
As I mentioned, I am new to the Steadicam line and appreciate your help.
I will look into all you have said.
Many thanks
SCOTT
You could get into my provid, it's looking for a new home.

All it needs really is an upgraded LCD monitor capable of HD display or a switchable SD/HD display.
