My thoughts are you don't need the weight plate at that point. The only time I use weight plates are on my big rig to reach the minimum weight if I'm flying c100/fs100 or similar because they're so light. If you buy directly from Janice, she'll give you all the screws needed. The only way to mount a camera to the weight plate is with one 1/4" screw, so honestly, I use weight plates sparingly when flying an actual camera. The matte box is helping slightly, but to my recollection, it was pretty light. (it probably caught more wind than it helped with pan inertia. lol) I couldn't tell you much about the baseplate we used. The AC built the camera for the most part, and that build was a long time ago. All I remember was it was a nightmare dealing with HDMI and cross converting it with the TV Logic, and not having a camera prep day. I would recommend the universal baseplate over the one made for the c100. You'll be able to use the universal one for all different types of cameras, and it will work adequately for the c100. Cinetronic makes a great monitor, I don't know much about them other than I can clearly see my frame even in direct sunlight when using it. I've only used them a hand full of times (gen1 and gen2)

I use an SD monitor.. And actually a lot of really great operators do as well. We don't need a sharp image for focus, we need a viewable image for framing. But like you mentioned you are a one man band, so I understand where you're coming from in wanting a high res monitor. Unfortunately I rarely use HD monitors, not enough to give you any real recommendations or advice. If I was flying a 7lbs camera package with the zephyr, I'd do the 6.5lbs weight plate on bottom with an AB brick in the back to power the aks up top, then have my bottom AB power my monitor. Below is a photo of a c100 build on a zephyr. Incredibly sloppy, wouldn't build it like this again, but I did add the weight of a battery, and bartech receiver in the back. This helped with pan inertia. It will be easier for your to operate a lighter rig with more pan inertia than a heavier rig with less pan inertia. Wish I could show you a better photo, but this is one of the only times I've flown a zephyr/c100.

Eric, I'm not sure if it's the same cable, but I have an AV composite cable for my xf100 (practice camera) that I can get HD and SD signal from to run video to my sled. If that doesn't work, I recommend the HyperDeck Shuffle if you need a recorder, or the Atomos H2S for just converting. You can mount almost anything with simple velcro. Hold off on a wireless FF and save for an analog Bartech. Buy AB batteries used. I've gotten some amazing deals from the forums and on craigslist. I bought a 15lb and 11lb weight plate that I use together as a practice cage, and use the 11 or 15lb plate when flying small cameras. Adding more weight to your rig will help your arm marginally, but making your build longer and adding weight behind your camera will add pan inertia. If you're looking to bring up the weight on your top stage, and actually make your rig handle better, I'd invest in a battery plate (linked below) that you can mount to the back, which will make your sled less whippy. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1080479-REG/ikan_ipd_a_power_dock_with_ab.html Enjoy your zephyr, that's a fun rig!

Matt, still plan on messaging you soon. Just waiting for a buddy to try out his LX vest.

How long are the pro to bartech cables? how much for one of those and a motor cable?

Willing to part out anything from the sled? I'm interested in the gimbal.

I'd like the PRO to 12v XLR Power, I'm local/cash pick up. Email or text me? Contact@ChrisLoh.net 847.946.3054

If you don't mind me asking, how much did everything sell for Arthur?

$2000 takes it! I cover fees and shipping.

From my understanding, the Titan arm weighs less than the Atlas arm by about a pound..? Maybe I heard wrong, but the Atlas is actually heavier than the Titan despite it's lower weight capacity. Not saying you shouldn't give it a try, but I don't think it will "lighten your load" at all so to speak.

Interested in the telescoping monitor mount.. Willing to part that out from the monitor?

I have one, but may not be very cost effective to ship across seas. PM me, I'm not sure how much they're even worth.

I have two and I'm local.. Email incoming.

Rig is back up for sale.

They're operating goofy, but the socket block is on the right side it looks like.. O.o hahaha. Their hands are above the gimbal too! Send 'em to a workshop!

I'm interested in the Master arm and PRO vest, could you message me with a price and location?

Thanks for the inquiries, rig is pending!

Willing to sell the Boland monitor alone? If so, how much does it weight? How much shipped to SoCal?

I have both a flyer and pilot for sale.. PMing you right now.

I've been told this over and over by so many veteran operators.. Experiment with what works for you! What works for one operator may not work for another. As long as it doesn't harm your body, keep doing what helps you achieve the best shots possible!

Specs look great! How much will it weight?

Great to hear Michael, glad you got your gear back!

This rig is almost brand new, it's been buried in my closet for the past few months. I'd love to find it a new home with an owner that will put it to good use. Please call/text/email me with any reasonable offers 847.946.3054 contact@chrisloh.net

Every time production doesn't have a prep day, I have nightmares about the camera build.. Often times those nightmares turn into reality.

Price drop! $2000
