Bump. Make me an offer. Make a deposit and I'll ship it to you and see if you like it. It was a dramatic change to go to a back mounted vest, and I used it for a long time. Moved on to a Klassen. This is really a good vest and I want it to help someone else out. Nick

Selling my action products vest. Easily swappable from left to right mount. Wide sizing adjustments. This one has a titanium socket block. It's a pretty light vest and allows for quickly adjusting where the weight is riding more, shoulders or hips. This is really handy when flying heavy rigs to change things up and work different muscles. Cheap way to get into a back mounted vest. Vest is in good shape. Straps and pads were replaced not long ago. I have a couple of spare socket blocks as well. There was some abrasion from the arm rubbing on the side of the vest. It was patched with cordura nylon to prevent fraying. Looking for $2000. Located in Baltimore. Please ask any questions you may have.

The EFP top stage is inherently vibratey. Only real solution is to get a different top stage. Nick

Thanks for that. I was planning on making just about exactly what you have there with your riser plates. Good to know it will behave once balanced. Thanks, Nick

Hi, I recently got a Wave since all the cool kids are doing it. I usually run a pretty neutral rig, but with the wave it tends to want to fall over as soon as the wave is off of center line, which makes sense, so I am running a more traditional drop time. Wondering what sort of drop time others are using with the wave. Thanks, Nick

Hi, I did 1 movie with the d-20. It is a bit of a pig with the flash mags, but I thought if flew very well tethered. I ran a very light weight jumper BNC from the camera to my arm where I had a real BNC running back to my vest. The DIT didn't see any problem with it. He was from the EU where they run 100 meter HDSDI runs all the time. It is front heavy with an S4 and no flash mag. It was a huge battery hog, mostly because we were afraid to turn it off. If we shut down, about 30% of the time we would get a bad reboot, would have to shut down again, reboot, the DIT would have to come over make sure we had a good boot, then we could shoot. So as a result we just let it purr right along sucking up my batts. It doesn't like to get extremely hot. We had it refuse to respond to the helm a few times on interiors where the temp hit 105 or so. Refused to stop the mirror shutter, wouldn't turn off. Everyone in the camera dept wanted to love this camera. In the end we all really wished we had had a varicam. Cheers, Nick Gardner
