  1. Doing my Steadicam course this weekend in Sydney with Phil, really looking forward to it. Also just ordered my Steadicam Flyer from Lemac last week, i hope it arrives soon. So i can start flying cant wait. I got the 12V, hope its the right choice. Regards Andrew Just completed the steadicam course with Phil Balston, great, thanks for the heads up on doing the course. Got the certificate..proudly displayed on the office wall. Learnt alot...And just in time Finally getting the flyer this week. One think though, trying to get the horizon straight can take a bit of work. Learnt the donJuan, the missionary position, great names... I have an issue with my lower back though, right side muscular aches when the rig is on, any ideas ?? Any good exercises to strenthen lower back? cheers
  2. Hey Guys A couple of people have decided to go the Brevis Road, I think I will do the same. Are you getting the bundle Fabrice, if not are you getting? cheers
  3. Hi Fabrice So the question still remains, the Brevis or the SGpro? Which one have you got now Fabrice? Regards
  4. Hi Fabrice I think Im going to get the Brevis, what do you think?
  5. Hey Guys I ve got a HVX202/(flyer e.t.a March 07), and im wanting to get a 35mm adaptor. As we know most of the 35mm adaptors, the images are upside down. Can you flip the image on the standard 7" screen on the flyer 12v. Thanks

  7. Hi john Yeah I heard that about Sydney too. Apart from that I'II try and get in contact with Phil This week and see how I go. Cheers Again
  8. Thanks for all the feed back guys, Renting is a good thought, because I make around 2-3 TVC's per month and usually I do most of the production work myself, I will be using the unit personally. I like the fact when the customer says ..you've got two days to complete the TVC, which happens frequently, I can do the storyboard in a couple of hours then go into production the very next day. Trying to find a steadicam operator and renting the unit, on the very next day, i feel wont work for me. I need the unit immediately. After 5 years in Business and employing my first two full time staff, now more than any other time, overheads are important, for me to buy a flyer, in the long run, will i hope. save me money. Im trying to book in a Steadicam course in Sydney with Phil Balsdon, what do you think? Any comments would be appreciated
  9. Hey Guys James Puli & I went to Lemac in Melbourne this morning to test the flyer out. Pretty nice, the HVX202En worked well, but saying that, I looked back at my footage, training is definately needed. So James kindly pointed me in the right direction, as to training. For myself, running my own production house i dont think I'II using anything else but the HVX202. So on that note think I will get the flyer, and i pray that the weight of cameras go down not up, but i also hope my current camera lasts me at least 5 years. If i decide on the flyer, what Zoom control would you recommend? for that unit... cheers agin you,ve all been very helpful HAve a drunken New years, I am..
  10. Hi Martin I have a great team of operators and assistants how are also disapointed but like anything if you don't get enough students to pay for these people and equipment they won't go ahead. I have been running workshops down under with great success over the last 5 years but I would have to say with the down turn in the industry here would have to have a part in fewer students. Look if you need any other help just email at lpulicam@tpg.com.au. All the best and I will be running it (I hope ) next year. Louis Puli B) Hi Louis I spoke to your son today, james, whom Im meeting tommorow at Lemac. I've just heard about the Classes you are holding in Jan. But James said it was cancelled, is there anyway of changing the status, cause Im keen as mustard. Regards Andrew Mazzoli

  12. Thanks for the head up on the name change. Give me a break boys...it was my first post. Nice welcome.... Anyways whats the big deal. Back to a serious business, is anyone going to let me know which is the best to get, for my HVX202 Someone had PM me and said the flyer was the go. What do you think? And what should i get with the complete unit/package.
  13. Hey Everyone, Merry Xmas This is my first of many posts I hope. Anyway, just a quick question, Ive seen so many post in relation to the best steadicam for the my job. I produce Commercials for television in Australia, and just wondering which steadicam to purchase. The prices are very high, so i have to choose carefully, Im running a HVX202en PAL version. And can anyone point me in the right direction for my purchase, and maybe someone has a used one I could buy. Who knows, the worlds a funny place. I will be looking to produce a cooking show also. Thanks again.
