Thanks a lot for your response Erwin. It was very clarifying. I´ll check every item you mentioned and I will keep your words in mind. Thanks a lot!!! Best regards from Buenos Aires Alejandro

If it would be easy, everybody would do it... Good luck, Erwin I never thought it was easy. I think the work most of you do is quite a great job, managing physicall and artistic skills. My question was especifically about pain. If at the starting of my firsts operations I was feeling pain, then I was doing something wrong and wanted to check it out. Sorry if I sounded as I underestimate your job (And I want to become an operator, so I feel the oppossite: I really estimate your work! And I know I cannot reach it without hard work...but no pain!) Best regards Alejandro

Thank you! I was a little worried. If a 11kg camera hurts, then steadicam is not for me. But now I know I could have been doing something wrong. If a 11kg camera hurts...I was horrified about the idea of a BL4!!!! Thanks again

Hi: I had the chance to use a stabilizator (Fly Cam, a local brand) with a 11kg camera. I could fly the camera only for short times because i started to have a pain in the lower part of my back. Is it normal? I´m not used to fly heavy loads, but I have used backpacks as heavy as 30kg with no pain (My weight is 75 kg) With proper training, do you feel any king of pain anyway or not? Could be due to improper adjustment of the rig? (especially the vest). I tried to load the main weight on the hips. As soon as I took the camera away from my body I could feel the weight pulling my lower back. ¿? Thank you

Hello Charles: Very clarifying!!! Thank you. I could see that the Steady Rig arm has a knob in the pin assembly to perform what you´re talking about. Thanks.

Hi Alexandre!! I live in a neigbourhood near downtown. Even dough I work every weekend on the transmissions of football matchs, I´m not a big fan of any team. Regarding your gimbal, I don´t think is necesary to have bearings in both sides. This could be just a redundancy( did you visited the hbsboard.com site?). Check out the steady rig site and check out the bearings in the pin of their arm. Suerte rapaz!! Agora vou embora ouvendo os paralamas do suceso, chao...

Hi: I´m curious, Did you add the bearings in the handle or in the arm (like the Steady Rig arm)? In either case: Did you have the work done by a machinist or just replaced the part (wich part?) with an updated one? Best regards Alejandro

Hello Alexandre: Why are you asking? Someone offered you a gimbal without bearings? (just a joke!!) Or trying to build one? Did you visited the hbsboard.com? Best regards from Buenos Aires (pretty close, eh?) Good luck

Hi Afton!! Thank you. I´ve read your question and found myself asking the same...I´m sorry!! I´ve been following the forum for a while and wanted to ask something not that obvious...ejem... Anyway I feel I didn´t get the answer I´m looking for. For example, if I find an EFP arm, say ten years old, and it was never serviced, but the owner says it works fine, and in fact works nice...will it need service soon? will it break from a moment to another? Do the spring have limited life? Thanks for your response. Best regards from Buenos Aires

Hi: I´m looking for my first rig. I´m looking for a used one (may be an EFP) so I´d like to know wich parts I should inspect carefully. Wich parts on a vest/arm/sled tend to wear out and need regular service or replacements? How could I notice if a rig had a good maintenance? Thanks in advance Alejandro
