  1. • Eric, 22lbs is incorrect, it will be 13-14 lbs • James, the minimum post length isn't set in stone, the rig collapsed, top stage to base will be 26" (66 cm)
  2. 6-8 really? I don't get done shooting till after that Where's the after party?
  3. Smart Move Evrim, having Peter service the motor, Don is off my list as is the M-1 motor, I'm moving on to a company that has customer support M-1 fixed and is now up for sale!
  4. Some of you may have seen my post on Jan 17, 2014 regarding my M-1 Motor jittering http://www.steadicamforum.com/index.php?showtopic=19736&hl=%2Bm-1+%2Bmotor+%2Bjittering Jim Bartel answered right away and told me to send it to Don over at Palomar Engineering http://www.loonvideo.com/m_one.php I called Don the owner of the company and asked if I was sending my motor to the right place he confirmed and said he would get right on it when he received it. Well, countless unanswered phone calls and three answered ones later I finally got an answer as to what happened to my motor. The first two calls that where actually answered by Don, not exaggerating, I called at least 30 times over 2.5 months, and the first two times he answered he asked me who I was, and what it was I needed and after telling him, he said, "oh yes, I have the motor right here, its fixed and I will be sending it out tomorrow". The motor never showed up! Finally, Monday of this week I called again, I called 8 times during the day, I started talking to the answering machine saying, "Don, pick up, Don you there" , he finally picked up and said I had woken him from a nap. Again he asked who I was and what it was that I needed. I again told him and started laughing because I knew what he was going to say next, yup you guessed it, " oh yes its right here, I'll get it fixed and sent out tomorrow". Finally I had it and called him on it and said, "you have told me two other times you fixed it and were sending it out and to date, you haven't done anything you said your were going to do. So when should I really expect my motor in the mail?" He replied, "Wednesday you will have your motor", I said, laughing," I'll call you on Wednesday and remind you to fix the motor and send it out again. He didn't think that was very funny ! Bottom Line, I just got my motor back after being out on repair for almost 2.5 months. The M-1 Motor is a robust well built motor, some may say even too strong for some lenses, but with customer service like that I am selling my M-1 motor and moving on to a company that will support their customers and back their product. I suggest finding an alternative source to repair your motor if its in need of repair unless your prepared to leave your on the companies shelf in Montana for a couple of months. Sorry Don, A simple answer of a phone call saying, I'm swamped and overwhelmed, I will get to it as quick as I can , would have gone a long way instead of lying to me twice and not answering the phone. You have lost a customer

  15. Go to Anvil or Thermodine they both have cases that can accommodate perfectly Or customize
  16. After 12 years of doing summer and winter X-Games from chase cam to super slo-mo camera, this rig is a dream because you have someone else panning, tilting and focusing for you. Not the best use of this rig but certainly another cool way to utilize a great tool I still think the Burton Factory video done all in one move on the Movi is the best way to use it
  17. I asked them personally and they told me it was for Sarah, either way its a nice gesture
