Hi Emiliano Ive used the xARM with my klassen. Had to lower the klassen arm by 3 or 4 inches to get the sled height where I wanted it. Apart from that it seems to work very well Morgs

Hi all the rig is still for sale. ive had a few people ask about splitting the kit, so... im willing to sell the basic rig (arm, vest, sled, cables, dock + monitor) with the C-stand and storm case. ill keep the batts, Tx and all the extras... looking for £5500 cheers morgs mail (@) morganlowndes.com +44 7789 432679

hello chaps anyone know who did the the ITV footy ad where the camera does a walk n talk out of a studio? very nice steadicam work... best morgs

just wondered how much power 1 moderator has? have seen a few other forums where there is much discussion and wondered if 1 "moderator" can actually have a lot of control... just trying to figure how much power of speech is really available on t'interweb... best morgs

model is: Panasonic TC-7WMS1 was using it on a shoot on the weekend and all of all of a sudden it just started saying 'warning'. tried different batts, video input etc and no joy. i have a shoot on sat and although i have a backup i would like to have this one on set. any ideas? m

theyre going hand held now, because of safety issues and also disagreements over fee's. i feel happy about this as it all sounded a way too sketchy for me! thanks for the info anyway chaps morgs mike - its a 30' fishing boat off the coast of Cornwall, uk. any thoughts on this? i live in Cornwall so its only a matter of time before this situation arises again...

alec thanks for the info. im on an sr2 job at the moment and presumed the sl would have on board batteries! just been told steadicam has been canceled because of safety issues... theyre gonna go hand held now. thanks for the replies anyway morgs

have been offered a shoot on a fairly large fishing boat. 35mm short drama, and fairly simple camera moves, but hard mount not possible. its sounds like too many safety issues though... slippy unsure footing, salt water, choppy seas... my common sense says dont get involved, and i have said this to production but they are still very very keen. any advice? couldnt find any obvious threads about this, has anyone done this or is it a strict No no... thanks morgs

Erik, thanks for the specs, its quite a lightwight camera huh! James your right, my rig is only 12v so i will need to power camera from on board batts if poss, dont want to be cabled to anything if i can avoid it. i suspect with on board batt and the preston it will be pretty close to the rigs limit. i think i can get the camera a week before the shoot, so ill find out one way or another. thanks morgs

been offered a shoot using moviecam sl but ive never used this camera before. production cant afford to hire a bigger rig so i wanted to know if it would fly on my v25 (25lb limit)? any guesses on the weight of an sl with video tap, on board battery, clip on Matte box + preston FF?! many thanks morgs

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AAD6isyKyoo come on then guys, own up... who was it?

im selling my marell green screen. its the basic version, no framelines, but still a good screen. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:IT&ih=015 thanks morgan

check this bit: :P Gimbal specifications:- 1. Wheelbarrow bearing provides Rotational control over camera so the camera can be easily rotated on its axis

hi maurice i think the v25 is a great rig. there are obviously a few quirky parts as mike mentioned. the monitor arm is a bit funky and the vest will need a bit of tweaking to get comfortable. i really like the arm, i think its very smooth and well built, and the sled is fine. ive used mine for 8 months now and have got some great shots with it. cheers morgs

hey job, man you have some noisey golf shoes! is that noise ok? i kept waiting for u you to disappear...! best m

yes, yes watch it, its amazing. more longevity, more longevity... m

[quote name='Kareem La Vaullée' post='27056' date='Apr 24 2007, 07:35 I heard there is a "friendly" Forum for the stupid jokes, LOLing everywhere, links to idiotic videos, inaccurate informations and amateur gear... this is a bit harsh isnt it? best morgs

mark, chris thanks this info is priceless. lookin forwards to this one - feature in 15 days! no steadicam now, so dont need any tips on that... any more pro35 or f900 tips for a low budget feature... fire away! thanks morgs

thanks Chris i think were gonna try and get to the rental house next week to check it out and see what we prefer. at the mo its looking like the pro35 look is favourite but i guess we'll see... thanks for the advice - much appreciated. morgs

hi folks im camera op on a feature in a couple of weeks with the F900R. its still undecided weather we shoot with a set of ziess digi-primes or the pro35 with set of ziess cine primes. can anyone tell me just How much more control of depth of focus we will have if we go the pro35 route... also theres lots of car interiors, is the 900 with pro35 gonna be way too long? i know its gonna be tight even with a digi-prime... thanks morgs

i tried resetting with a paperclip but no joy. ron, wow, thanks for the info lots to learn there. i will get to the bottom of this! morgs

thanks guys i cleaned the contacts but no joy. will get in touch with Rob. morgs

i have a couple of batteries that are fine most of the time but sometimes just refuse to charge. i have tried them on 3 chargers but no joy. when i can get them charged they run fine. i have 3 ABC800H chargers, maybe they need to be upgraded or something...? any ideas? morgs
