  1. you still think that this arm is full of friction? :) https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesteadicamgroup/search/?query=twiga

    Hi guys, it seems smooth :)

    But the "l'Aigle", in France, has rubber band arms since 2003, it's not so new.

     

    This is their flagship arm: http://shop.laigleparis.fr/index.php?id_product=69&controller=product&id_lang=5

     

    And now the isoelasticity can be adjusted without tools, so I guess no need to remove or add rubbers (unless perhaps if you go from DSLR to a much heavier camera - like the GPI Pro arm canisters have to be changed).

     

    Rubbers are pretty smooth and quite. I have an older l'aigle rubber band arm. The only thing to be "careful" about when operating is extreme temperatures. You need to readjust the elasticity. The cost of changing the rubbers is near zero. L'Aigle for example guarantees them for 10 years... so you can change all the rubbers for free before that.

     

    (P.S. I am not working for l'aigle (!) and their systems do have flaws, but also interesting innovative concepts. Twiga seems to have taken the same approach with their new arm, interesting :)

  2. I confirm what is said for the Came TV stabilizer ! It was my first rig and I sold it 6 months later...

    It's not a serious equipment. The vest is as uncomfortable as hell and made with cheap materials.

    The arm, though quite robust for the price, is not very responsive... The rig does have a tool less design, but try to get dynamic balance with it...

    It's ok if someone wants to experiment with a stabilizing system for the first time, but you will get tired of it very quickly.

  3. Has anyone used this system for focus pulling while flying a stead ?

    If not, could someone suggest a reliable focus pulling system that could be used by the operator himself when using manual focus lenses ?

     

    (I know :) it's not the ideal situation, it's usually best to have a focus puller).

     

    Thanks!
