Hello! I am looking to sell my Tiffen Ultra which I purchased in 2017. It’s a complete and functional kit, ready-to-use. Because I am moving country, I can sadly not take it with me so I am not only selling the Steadicam but also offer any new owner their pickings of any of my gear that I used when operating free-of-charge. I bought this Steadicam in 2017 and believe I am the 3rd owner. It served me very well and has been regularly serviced. In my experience the Tiffen Ultra allowed me to fly any camera I was handed, anything from an ARRI Mini up to 35-milimeter Film cameras such as the ARRI Arricam ST as well as a Moviecam Compact. The rig was made for heavier cameras, however with some weighted plates the previous owner had custom made, you can bring the newer digital cameras up to a very comfortable operating weight. Furthermore, this Ultra has been modified with an HD line as well as comes with a Blackmagic Converter all already pre-wired so you can run the newer Cameras feed down to the rigs monitor. This kit is great for anyone looking to upgrade into a commercially useable rig without having the budget for a brand new one. It was my first “proper” rig and served me very well, allowing me to operate with all cameras that were given to me at an affordable price by giving away only a few creature comforts in comparison to a brand-new rig. While a little older, it still comes with quite a few nice features. The post is carbon-fibre and it has a motorised tilt-stage. It is tool-free and can take a max payload of 22kg (according to the manual). The rig is currently in Birmingham, UK to view. I am open to discuss shipping if needed. £ 15000.- OBO. If you have any questions, I am happy to answer. KIT INCLUDES: 1x Tiffen ULTRA Sled 1x Tiffen ULTRA CRT Monitor 1x Tiffen ULTRA Arm 1x Tiffen ULTRA Vest ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Addition: 1x Blackmagic SDI to Analog 4k (Including SDI cabling between monitor, converter, and sled) 1x Custom HD Line from top of sled to bottom (wired inside of the sled) 1x Bubble-Level attached to back of the bottom sled part. 1x Tiffen ULTRA Docking Bracket 1x C-Stand 1x American Stand with large tyres (much more useful than a C-Stand. I have rolled this around in the mud and it works fine). 1x Sandbag for your stand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXTRAS: 1x V-LOCK Battery 4-way Charger 4x V-LOCK Batteries (I have 6 additional batteries that need re-celling which you can have for free if you want). 1x Mitchell Mount (used to attach Steadicam arm to back of vehicles). 1x bag of various support rods. 1x bag of back-up BNC Connector wires 1x Bronze Weighted Plate (Heavy) 1x Iron Weighted Plate (Small) 1x Windbreaker for operating. (Foldable) X various tools and bits and bobs you might need to operate. (You make take or leave what you like). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSPORT: 1x Flight case for Vest and Arm 1x Flight case for Sled 1x Flight case for Batteries 1x Flight case for Mitchell Mount 1x Soft bag for Vest and Docking Bracket 1x Soft bag for Arm 1x Custom Hardcase (originally a rifle case) for the arm. (I made this because I didn’t trust the soft bag by itself and the large flight case for the arm and vest together is a bit large for every-day jobs.)

Hi Danny, I might not be the best person for advice here but I thought I would kick it off and hope that some of the more experienced members on the forum come back to you as well I am very new to the Steadicam world and am currently studying one of those Film Production courses that you mentioned :). All I can give you is the advise I have been given by a few people and what I have seen on the sets I have worked on: - Work-wise, this industry is very, very based on mouth-to-mouth. You really need to get a network running to start having a steady income. - You need to probably start at the bottom as a Camera trainee or AC. Now, I was given this advice as a student, but seeing that you have more experience this might not apply, although a solo-shooting wedding video environment is very, very different from on set. - You probably should have a show-reel as it is asked for all the time when applying. I would also say it should include work that is relevant to the project your applying for, i.e. if your applying to LIVE TV, have a showreel of working on events. If you're applying to a Film project, it should include your shots on other films. Meaning your wedding videos might not suffice and you need to go out and find some projects to work on. The go-around advises here is to work for very, very cheap or usually even free on student projects just to get the showreel material. - Learn "set-life". This is partially what a film production course can teach you a little bit or you try and get on working sets as a PA / Runner. There is a very distinct work ethic on set, that you don't really see in any other industry. At least, in my opinion, this is especially true for the camera department. There is some very distinct jargon that must be known and each person on the crew has a very distinct role to fulfil. Just read into the working relationship of a 1st, 2nd. 3rd AC along-side the Camera OP and/or DoP. Each person has a very particular role that you must know before coming on set. Now, this working relationship can be more relaxed or more strict or even slightly different depending on your Head of Department, but in my opinion, you need to know the fundamentals to be able to work properly. - Rate-wise, I have always been told to run off BECTU cards, but don't take my word on that as I am not too sure. Hope this helps a little and maybe intices some other, more experienced Cam-Ops to respond with their advice :) Cheers, Timi

Hi guys, I am looking for a medium sized (low-end professional rig). Anything along the lines of the Arri Artemis systems, Archer 2 or similar. I do not mind sensible hybrid rigs aswell. I am happy with anything that can carry atleast 15kg. If anyone has anything to offer or knows someone I could contact that would be great. Thank You! :)
