Hi again! So we looked it up today and the wire inside the spring is broken, there where to ends inside (the picture isn't really showing though). It also seemed as if it was only for safety in case of that the spire would break. I don't know if its a titanium spring or not.. But we are sending it for reparation. Thank you once again for the help!

On sunday I have a Steadicam operator coming over and we'll take a look at it, I'll snap a picture of the arm under weight. I'll get back to you. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ANSWERS!!

Hello, I just registered as a member here and this is the first post I write, hopefully in the right forum. I work in a rental company and I'm now the responsable for our Steadicam. Today I saw something on the arm to our Steadiecam MK-V. It's a 3A-arm, and there are some steel wires coming out between the metals, it looks like it's coming from the spring inside. I attach a picture. My question is, what should I do about it? Will it affect the operating of the Steadicam? Is it dangerous somehow? Should I send it for maintainence (where?) or is it something I can do by myself? I have a very basic knowledge of Steadicams, I'm a camera technician, not a operator, so please feel free to explain it to me as if I were a baby. Thank you in advance, Sofia Armenteros
