Hi again :) Is every clipper 2 topstage build like mine is, or have there been some kind of upgrade ? My topstage is not motorized. What is weird for me is that if you look closer to side to side "screw" which goes through the stage, there is only small "lock shim" on both sides of the stage which keeps stage tight. If one of the "lock shims" pops out of the "rail" in the side to side screw then stage is loose and causes shaking in the picture... There is also lock shim at the fore/aft screw which won't stay at its place.... BR Toni Tuominen

Hi, Have anyone else noticed that their clipper II top stage is little bit loose, so that cause some shaking in picture when running. Is there any trick how to get it tight. BR Toni Tuominen

Hi, have anyone used archos 504 with steadicam use ? Do I need Archos DVR Station with 504 to get video footage from camera to archos ? BR Toni Tuominen

Thanks for comments and that tips :) Here is a pic of zoom/focus system that I have used. So you can see it is intended to much thinner gimbal handler than clipper has, it works great with EFP. I think that I have to make some metal adapter between gimbal handle and zoom handle... :huh: btw that is old canon's zoom handle and it has custom made focus "ring" (that yellow knob there).

Hi everyone, I have been using glidecam v-16 for about year now and few months ago I decided to buy Steadicam. First I think that Archer would be system for me but after few days of hard thinking I end up with Clipper II. Well today is the day of happines, steadicam arrives. :P Almost everyone in this forum says that they love their rig... well, maybe I should say that too.. I LOVE MY RIG... ok. Hey one question, place where zoom controller is usually placed between arm and gimbal, in Clipper it is pretty thick compared for example EFP, do someone have some trick how to add ZOE or canon zoom controller to it. Best Regards Toni Tuominen

ok. Can you send some photos of your Glidecam and that post. What price have you thinked to ask of your rig ? - Toni

Well I live in Finland but if you could not delivery to finland I have relatives in USA who can delivery it to me. What you mean abaut that "slightly shortened post" - Toni
