thanks a lot ben for your answer. i was not talking of handhelds, but on lightweight setups with dv,mini35 adapters etc. i am shure it is not easy to get into business, especially in austria but i think its a very interesting job. i think there are unter 10 ops in austria, maybe 30 in germany. the only thing is the mass of equipment needed. i think a focus device and video sender/reciever can be borrowed, but i need a setup to learn with, so i will go for one. i like this glidecam v25 but i think it is not upgradable, so i will go for some different arm and vest and a progear sled. (if i ever get contact to jan...) i ve tried all brands of steadycams, even the new g70 which is a beautiful arm. the progear is nice but according to many posts here jan isnt the best in consumer service. what contact setup would you guys take in the upper and lower junction boxes? i think i will go with pag batteries. are there some other tips for a newbie like musts and donots? thanks a lot, markus

hello, i think austria is not the best country for it, but germany and italy are not far. i am shure there are lots of productions in germany but how difficult is it to get in there...? i am very interested in steadycam work, i have had 2 small rigs and want to go for a big one to earn some money with that. thanks so far, markus

hello, i am doing camera work for several years now and i am considering buying a steadycam. my only question is if there are ops needed in europe. i am not interested in having a lot of pricey equipment lying around at home collecting dust. i think it is not possible to be booked without a workshop, but is it easy to get booked anyway? how often do you pro guys work and is it the only work you do? can you live from steadycam wor, i guess no! i hope you can give me some tips before i do a wrong step. thanks a lot, markus

hello, i think i will go with a used glidecam arm and vest. thanks, markus

Hello, First of all hello, this is my first post on this board. I´ve searched around for quite a long time and i cannot come to a solution. i want to buy a steadycam sled but i do not have the money to buy a mkv. steadicam doesn´t seem to sell their sleds standalone. if possible i want to be upgradable. i want so spend abput 2-3k? without gimbal. so could you please give me some information on possibilities. maybe a used one. do i need a frameline generator for doing jobs with it? mostly i want to fly digital cams but if needed 16 or 35mm should be possible wit an update. thanks a lot! markus hosp
