Hi Niko, I emailed you about the screw. Best regards, Michael

Hello All! The Steadicam factory will be closed on December 24 and 25. We will also be closed on January 1. We will be conducting our annual inventory from January 2-6. Our doors will be open, but we will not be able to take any parts from stock. We will also have limited staff these days. You are more than welcome to drop a repair off, but unfortunately we will not be able to start working on it until January 7. Thank you! The Steadicam Crew

Hi Philip, By all means, please have the rig sent to Tiffen and have us be the intermediate. We will of course need the details of the new buyer, so please write or call us before sending it. We hope to hear from you soon! best regards, Michael

The power is back on at our New York office, so we have email and the ability to ship product again. Our phone systems seem to be on the fritz, so some voicemails are not coming through. It also appears that any email that was sent on Tuesday, 30th, we will not receive. I believe this is being worked on though. Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Best regards, Steadicam

Hello All, The Tiffen Headquarters, located in Hauppauge, NY, is currently closed due to the storm. They are without power, which is affecting our Glendale, CA facility. Our email and system server is located in NY. We, Steadicam, do not currently have email access and our computer system is currently down. This means we are unable to ship product. However, our phones are working and our factory is open. We can still work on repairs and have those back in your hands. If you have any questions, please call our main number 1-800-593-3331. We hope all of your families and friends are safe. Thank you, Tiffen/Steadicam

Hello All, Our Glendale, CA facility will be closed from July 4-6 to celebrate the holiday. We will be back to work on Monday, July 9. We wish you all a happy and safe holiday. Best regards, The Tiffen/Steadicam Team

Hi Donald, We notice this sometimes with the AA Pilots. 99% of the time it is one bad battery in the batch of 10. Usually one battery cannot hold a decent charge. If you have a way of measuring the battery's voltage, you can pick out the bad one. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Michael

Hi Richard, Nice Bad Brains picture! Best regards, -Michael

Hi Paul, Thank you for posting this information. Just a word of warning though, the EFP gimbals, along with a handful of other Steadicam gimbals prior to 2007, are centered by placing shims on either side of yoke to balance out the gimbal. All of our units, from Pilot* to Ultra 2, are manufactured with the design described in the link above. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best regards, Michael Craigs *The first run of Pilot's were manufactured with the shim method.

Hi Niklas, We can help you out! If you are located in Southern California, please feel free to stop by our factory in Glendale. We can center the gimbal for you while you wait. If you are located elsewhere, please feel free to contact me and I will walk you through some some steps. Best regards, Michael Craigs 818-567-7917 mcraigs@tiffen.com Steadicam 6933 San Fernando Road Glendale, CA 91201

Happy birthday from all at Tiffen!
