It's taken me over a year to sit down and place this ad. I haven't officially itemized my gear yet but this is the beginning of the end. ha. I'm selling my PRO I sled with PRO gimbal and also my back up PRO I with a CP gimbal. I use one rig as my hero and the other as lite weight or keep built in low mode. Transvideo super bright. Great cond. Two Preston I's complete with 3 motors, one motor is a lite weight for iris control. Very nice. Brackets and cables galore, all kinds of aks. Back up hardwire Preston single motor micro controller with M1motor. A Kenyon gyro system ( two fat four gyros) are included as well as a gyro battery pack pack. PRO Super post. New PRO vest. Almost new PRO arm with four extra canisters. Klasson wrap around vest. Excellent condition. It's heavy but I use the Klasson vest for longer or long lens shots. Lots of batteries. Two Pag chargers Two Preston chargers Lots of cases. Canatrans, A hi power custom transmitter, Modulous and Coherant transmitters. Lots of great steadicam parts and piece. Rubbermaid cart and a Yeager cart, customized by Backstage carts. I wish such a rig or deal was around when I pieced my rig together with blood, sweat and home equity loans. I have a very complete rig. The rigs are dated but this choc. bar system is really strong and I like the way they fly better than others. This is the perfect kit to jump into Steadicam and know you have back up gear. In the beginning you cannot fail. You may not get a second call. Having many back up parts and systems makes you sleep well at night. Believe me. I have nitrogen tanks for cleaning the sand at the end of the day, A Grip four way ball head (the good one) for mounts and car work, because you have to make yourself look good. Don't depend on anyone to have what you need. I've been in the vest for 25 years in Local #600 here in Los Angeles and also a Local #80 dolly grip for another 20 years before that, and it's time to move away while I can. Steadicam has been a dream come true. The best job on the set. It makes me sad to finally come to terms with selling my passion. But day in and day out it has gotten harder. And the new generation of digital cameras has taken it's toll on us. The Panasonic with the long lens with the spinner lens almost killed me. Give me a Panaflex LT and I could fly all day and night. At least you got a break every 4 minutes. I'm still camera operating studio mode on television shows and I hold the dolly down pretty well, but Steadicam is a job we cannot fail in. So much depends on the heart of the operator. This kit is ready to go to work. I'm very proud of it. I live in Los Angeles. Come check it out. We can discuss price. I'd like to sell but not in big hurry. Like a litter of cats. I want them to go to a good home. Hopefully both parties will benefit from this deal. Aside from Pro sports I don't know what gives a person such a rush. Pulling off a cool shot is what makes it fun. Enjoy the sweat. Make it your friend! Fly safe, but shit happens! Good luck. Let's talk. Ron Veto soc

The TB-6 has been sold. Thank you, Ron

Nikon D-700. Great camera. I bought this one as a back up on a overseas trip last October. It can use my older AI manual glass or the new auto focus zooms. It was used, but in pristine condition when I purchased it Oct. of last year. This is for the body only. I used it for 5 days then packed it away and used the main body for the remainder of my journey. Nothing wrong with this camera. Looking to get the new Lumix. I purchased it for $2150.00. Looking to sell quickly for $1600.00. A bargain. Otherwise it's going E-bay. Good times, Ron

Hi out there in Steadicam land.. I'm selling my TB-6 monitor. It's s/n 185. I am the original owner and it has been perfect. It has low hours and treated like I would have wanted to be treated. Ha. Not certain but I think I purchased it perhaps 10 years ago. You cannot beat this green screen monitor in sunlight. In the photo you will notice edge wear on the body's hood. That's it. . Asking $5000.00 with PRO power cable and PRO fitted bracket. Ready to fly now. Aloha, Ron Veto

Aloha out there, I have 2 DM 1 motors for sale. They are serial #1152 and #1154. They are used but in great condition. Small cosmetic scratches. They have never failed me or been an issue. They have low total hours for their age. Preston has no record of repairs. Looking to buy their new iris motor. It ain't cheap for the size we love. Hoping to sell them both for $3,000. No brackets included. Please contact thru the forum. Take it easy. Ron Veto

Good Day! Since it's slow for me now, I have the time to organize computer photos and material. But I have a couple issues now. I'm looking for a Mac technician. Someone who can help me with computer health. Someone who won't talk a thousand words a second. Someone who is versed in film elements and preping to a web site. And hopefully someone who is patient and won't charge $100.00 per hour while we load my material. I've had it with Geek squad.I just had two Lacie Drives fail and I need to retrieve and possibly start over with my hard drive. I live in the San fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. Any leads on a honest person would be great. I don't mind paying for service but I don't want to be taken.I feel so helpless outside of basic Photoshop. I tell myself I know how to drive a car but can't rebuild engines myself any more. But it doesn't help me from feeling helpless. Thanks Everyone, Ron Veto

So how did your audit go? what exactly where the area(s) of examination? Looks like my numbers up also. Any advise, did you go in alone or with representation? -Alfeo Alfeo, Hi. It's Ron here. Today I wrote you a long long explanation of my IRS journey. I spent one hour writing but it never posted. I think I messed up when loading it. I hit upload my error and lost the entire novel. So if you want to speak to me, please just call. 818-344-5284. I can't write all that story again. Sorry. It turned out good. I owe zero from $16,000 case on me for various deductions. Just call if you want. I may provide some useful info. Take care, Aloha, Ron

One more thing. I want to Thank You all for helping and giving me your ideas for dealing with these kind of issues. Hopefully it helps us all survive in these times when idiot producers try to stiff us with their tricks. Thanks again, Ron Veto

Hi everyone. Well the "Ultimate Slezebag Group" finally paid. But only after repeated letters and calls from the L.A. D.A. office. They paid the money and have to pay a $200.00 fine and attend a financial responsibility school for one afternoon. That's that. The bad check program from the city does work. Just don't let it go on for more than a year or they cannot act on it. If you get a bounced check it's a good way to go when the company ignores repeated requests for payment. Beware of "The Ultimate Group"!!!!and Chris Brian Films. I think they will re-surface under a different name. They wanted still yet another invoice but under a different name. I told them to go to hell and filed. Resolved. Aloha, Ron Veto

Just a update about "The Ultimate Group" I threatened to escalate this matter to the D.A. Bad check program they offer.Three bounced checks. I gave them the required 2 week courtesy period after mail/certifying the D.A. paperwork to them. They didn't even have the brains to pay up even though my lawsuit was on the desk of the D.A. office. The D.A.'s office called me to tell me that they will send them an official letter and then call as well. That this is now a criminal matter. At this point I cannot communicate or accept any payment directly from them. Now it has to be paid to the D.A. then given to me. The Ultimate idiots called me to ask for a new invoice under a different company name for them.I hung up on them. Watch out! Looks like they will be shedding their Ultimate skin for another shell. Beware. I'll keep ya posted. Aloha, Ron Veto
