Hi Itsi, Thanks ever so much for the quick response. I now understand fully and sincerely appreaciate the info. Thanks man. Ron

Itsi, What exactly is "the Handsfree Steadicam Adaptor"? Do you have photos? Is it a piece of equipment operators can purchase? If so, what is the cost and delivery time? I suspect there are a lot more questions out there so any help in clearing up the confusion would be great! Thanks in advance, Ronald Borden

Sean, Wow! You're in High School? First let me congratulate you on your professionalism. Your post is first rate as far as laying out your situation. I also appreciate your understanding of what you face. You are in a tough spot. My question is this: Where is the Steadicam coming from? Is it on loan from an operator who might be able to give you a quick clinic? If it's coming from a rental house, maybe someone there can at least assist you in building the rig. If someone can help you, you want to take your camera to the rental house and build the complete unit. Prep is key. Charles is correct, aside from operating issues, there are a host of nuts and bolts set-up tasks that need to addressed and they can leave you frustrated before you even put the rig on! As far as operating, you're not gonna be great on this show, but I'll bet you'll have a blast! Try, try, try to find an operator in your area who will spend an hour with you in the rig. It will make a world of difference. Then go to the show and have fun. In my humble opinon, a huge part of Steadicam operating is attitude. A confident, professional perspective coupled with adequate preparation will see you through. Your post indicates a wonderful sense of professionalism. The confidence willl come from knowing you can build the rig and it will work. You don't have time to learn the art of operating, but with a little help from your new firends out here, I'll bet you can pull off a one or two nice moves... Sean, you inspired me to search out my forum password and reply to your post. If you were in the Atlanta area, I'd be proud to help you out. Mark Van Loon, Mike Smith, and a lot of people from rental house managers and techs to equipment vendors, helped me get started in the biz a long time ago, and I strive to return the favor whenever I can. Good luck and let us know how things shake out. Ronald Borden

Hey Brett, Ask for the AJA HD10MD3, HD to SD Digital Downconverter. I own this unit and a Varicam. The unit requires dc power. I have a cable that AJA sells that provides power via an Anton Bauer power tap on the camera. Hopefully the rental house will have the power cable and the camera has a power tap. The downconverter works really well. Like Alec says the SDI out is really cool. I have replaced my Steadicam Monitor with my Panasonic LCD HD monitor. Since the Varicam has SDI out, the single cable to the monitor makes it really easy to get HD viewing while flying. That was a treat to say the least. This is my first post to the "new" board. Great to be contributing! Later, Ron Borden
