Strange differences of opinion here – as though these were two different manufacturers we were talking about! On my rig I have: No flex in my 2" titanium post. At all. Topstage no odd travel or slip. Rock solid. Open and close the topstage "drop-in style" clamp with my thumb after the safety is opened with a tool. Baer Bel is not tools-free yet. My Gimble is perfectly balanced - and no loosening is required for post adjustment. No tweaking of gimble ever. My arms won't get anywhere near the full range of the BB arm's travel and people actually mistake me in the street for a 6' tall Orang Utan! The arm cannot be bottomed out by a normal human – or this sub-normal one for that matter. My BB arm is very smooth, makes no noise at all (unless you crash into a wall) and this “spring back” effect doesn’t exist – unless, perhaps, you are pushing down on the top of the camera (?!) – I don’t know I never tried this… I preferred a different vest to the BB. Also, and perhaps most importantly, anything you wish to change/modify/re-design on a Baer Bel will be done quickly and affordably by Markus. The quality of the materials and workmanship are top notch and I have had comments on this by other operators who have seen and flown the kit. My (biased) 2 cents. Scott

Here's mine! http://www.steadicamforum.com/forums/index...?showtopic=7467 or some photos http://picasaweb.google.com.au/12cachuca/Steadicam02 The stuff is bulletproof. The above comment is intended in the manner of a joke or humourous comment and is not intended to be taken literally. Under no circumstances should one fire bullets at any steadicam especially if it is being flown. The writer accepts no responsibility for actions taken out of this context. :rolleyes:

I did - what would you like to know?

Amen It would be great if it could email all the posts - this subscribing thing is a drag and takes FOREVER. Scott

Oh! Thanks, Tim I'll try that.

I agree the most useful feature to me was the email notification. I appreciate all the hard work Tim but PLEASE bring back the email notification if it is possible in this program. I find it takes too long to sift through all the threads here and way too long to "subscribe" to every new topic to get the email.
