Hi Itsi,

Sorry I didn't get to use it on the David Blaine show, but it was great to take it for a spin though ! Hope to put it to work soon.

Greg Bubb makes them as an accessory mount for the Ultimate. I'm sure he would sell it separately.

Andrew

Great shots Mikko.

Thanks !

Andrew

Thanks !

Andrew

Any idea of the price ?

Andrew

Gregg Bubb has designed the Ultimate monitor bracket...

Hey Alec,

 

Just caught a syndicated episode of "Love Monkey" on VH1. It was a music video scene. In one of the wide master shots, there's a Steadicam Op leaving the bottom of the frame. You?

 

Peace!

Afton

That would be Alec... I ran in to him a while back as he was shooting that show.

andrew,

 

this is a cool idea. im not good at cutting that foam out of the cases though... i need a class on that.

 

i just ordered the bag Brant posted above. now to find some foam as he mentioned...

 

thx all for your replies...

I not good at cutting out foam so I left it up to the wonderful folks in the art department who did a great job !

Cheers,

Andrew

Marc,

I use the Pelican 1700 for my PRO Arm. I cut out the foam and lay the arm and arm posts flat in the foam.

I figure for $20K for the arm it deserves the best case. The case is rock solid, lockable and when on the truck or being

moved around the studio or location I have NO worries about it.

Good luck.

Very cool !

I wear Merrell shoes, and black yoga pants from www.bepresent.com

They are very comfortable under my Klassen vest. Elastic waist with draw string, very light weight..

I usually wear a 100% cotton t shirt, but it does take a while to dry when I get out of the vest.

You can't go wrong with Under Armor..

Hope this helps !

Is there exact hierarchy among stabilizer systems; I mean Suchtler, Pro II, Steadicam... there are so many of them. Is there any definite leader among them?

It's all personal preference really. In my opinion in 15 years of operating I would say the best sled made is The Ultimate by Greg Bubb at XCS, best arm is by GPI PRO, best vest is between Klassen and PRO and best focus for the money is Bartech.

Just my humble opinion... I'm sure there'll be more folks chiming in !!

Andrew

They can all screw up sometimes ! When Gregg Bubb recently shipped me my Ultimate Sled, FEDEX delivered it to the museum down the road.

Now I agree with Fedex that one day The Ultimate should be in that museum (the Guggenheim) as the most beautiful sled ever made. Just not yet !! Good luck with all your future shipping !

Do NOT buy the Panasonic BT-LH900 8.4" Monitor, you cannot see it in daylight and the screen is too reflective. I bought one for a show and just sold it to a DP who owns a few Varicam's.

No complaints from me at all !! :D

Yes that's me ! I got the old vest out so I cold wear more layers for the cold. The Klassen fits like a glove and as such can't wear all the warm stuff. It was a fun night !!! I'll pose next time so they get my good side like Maria"please shoot me from the left" Carey

Miss you Chip !!

Hi Dan, I have a second PRO II sled for sale for $15950. Email me for photos and details.

Andrew

I spoke to George Paddock here in the USA about running an HD SDI signal down the post of my PRO II sled, but it's not possible due to the lemo connector in the post. If you are able to run a direct 75ohm coax cable with bnc's on each end down the post that should work. I have many monitors including the Panasonic 8" HD which when I use it with an HD camera I have to run a cable IIIA style... What sled do you have ?

Hi Jamie,

Sorry to hear your Modulus woes... Robert Wright at Lightline Electronics makes a very solid transmitter. He offers next day service if anything goes wrong, which it hasn't after almost 10 years of using his transmitter. He's an ex LA camera assist now living in Colorado...
