the reason i post this site is that i am also looking for photos and news about this kind of vest,and i hope someone of this forum ,who know more ,he can share it

what about swit and 435 at 150fps?

hey its not my site i just invent that and i share it with you as we have talk again about exosceleton and steadicam many times in this forum ,iam also looking for photos and news

i think that we must wait soon the new exosceleton vest for steadicam ,have a look on this site www.elytravest.com

arri have vertical mags for 435.535 for hand held camera(that is not called steadimag,(iam not sure about that,maybe they call it steadimags ,but a question more is free) ) as it is more heavy than the normal) but it work excelent as steadimag just ask a question in the rental house for vertical mags ,arri III steadimags /vertical mags also work good with 435 (120 fps max) all the best

yes hill bracket needs steadimag ,but i thing cage also need steadimags for working,as for the choice absolutely the bracket !!!!! 100% video top is the best option(lighter camera and perfectly balanced,also need steadymags or at least verical magazines) but rental house charge it extra and camera assitands will hate you every time they change the viewfinder with vide top (its not only the work ,if they do it wrong they expose the film),also some d.o.p., focus pullers also, wants to check through the viser in the other hand bracket make the change from high to low so quick (2' work) fly safe

ok i was thinking ,that iam crazy i take a lot of risks ,until now !!! unicycle,rolerblade in stairs,skateboard ?????ok iam not crazy iam still far away of risks

what about 435 at 150 fps ?

as you live in spain ,with beautifull beach you can try to swim all the year (specially the winter)in accompination with beach rackets and wind surf the windy days ,fantastic hobby and way of life ,you will surprise yourself with the results !!!not only in stress ,also in health and in steadicam

i have worked with easy rig for two months in Malaisia in the Beach under the hot sun for two months (the first and i hope the last tv show-reality i worked,i hate realitys )i can say that the easy rig save my life ,beautifull tool make the handheld camera easy and liquid move .for sure its the way to go

ok lets start something new ,what the weight of 4 stage mk-v post ?/xcs 2stage post ?/and xcs 2 stage plus the xcs supperpost ?/betz 4 stage post? ,sorry tifen and pro-gpi users only 2" posts (its unfair to copmpare 2" with 1.5", i suppose)

Eric .. very interesting ,i think is the future on steadicam (3-5 years ),i think that the unit is not noissy (soldiers must be quiet) but how much it cost and how flexible is?the next 10 years i believe exosceleton it will replace the steadicam vest or hardness(price it will be the only problem) .Michael forget Raytheon (too noisy ,too big ,too power hungry and need a lot of work yet ,plus 2 people and an ob van for carry it,hulk look almost ready !!if we can adjust a socket block on it and someone can try to operate it !!!! Maybe Garett and Tiffen must have a look on it !!!!

just unscrew the handle of the camera then you can adapt your stedicam plate with two screws ,verry solid!

in the other hand if you need the same package for 2" post ,i can offer you the goods

hi i have open my v2 gimbal many times ,but i lubricate as i it is, i donot remove the bearring from inside ,i just unscrew the top ,lubricate and screw again ,maybe it was instict to avoid any problems (like centering the bearring)but i would like to hear how lucky i was ,Erwin ???

hi i work with walter hardness about 8 years now ,i dont remember last time i use a fm vest ,the only think i can say for walter vest is that it reserves every dollar that it cost !!! all the best & fly safe

normally the 2-3 hours rate is full day rate (as you cannotwork in an other production the same day ),but if the producer is friendly and good client and its this 2-3 hours shooting its only 1-2 times the year then you can work for half rate or for free (so the producer now own to you),thats my deal

HI guys Tasos is your men 2.4 & 1.2 TRANSMITER AND RECEIVER AT 1W-10W AND MORE FOR LESS THAN 700EUROS (I BELIEVE 1 WATT ITS enougph ,YOU CAN USE A HIGH GAIN ANTENA IN YOUR RECEIVER )I USE THE 2.4 (1W,i also believe 1 w its alot of power near my head,) ONE YEAR NOW WORKS GREAT (THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT ANY H/Y IS IN THE SAME ROOM WITH MY RIG CANNOT CONNECT WIFI IN INTERNET,ALSO PRODABLY A PROBLEM WITH PRESTON OR OTHER WIRELLES IN 2.4g,I USE BARTECH AND FOX ,and i never had any problem until now neither sound guys ) I WILL CHECK THE NEW TR AT 1.2 NEXT MONTH IF YOU ARE INTERESTING MAIL ME for DETAILs or check at www.abatv.gr

Many operators we are in the other point of earth ,so please do not tell again iam 1 hour away!!!! all the best

just remember that we use our real names in that forum !!!!

hi guys if i remember good 4 years before i have start a topic about a tv serial (director and DOP want me).producucer want for me to work with the same ridiculus rate ,ofcourse i denied and an "operator with an agb rig"work for this serial .When i start the topic many guys for the forum attact to me and one off them (hoolywood operator !!!)send me email to continue this ... The point is that this office still work with low(i say no) budget steadicam operators/owner , this is no problem for me (they get that they pay)but other producers come and ask for the rest of us lower rates bechause of this producer ,and 2-3 operators.they use to say tv serial can not pay that rates .... i use to answer use dolly and sometimes iam the bad guy!

when you are ready ,if the downconverter dont have delay iam interesting too ,but iam far away (Greece ),i can wait as i will work only in tv serial for the next two months

if you remove the camera handle you can attach your plate on it (i think the best low mode bracket)

perfect sled do not forget a pro arm !!!and a walter hardness

thanks Charles i have already read the pro range (study it i can say)but i want to know how is it in action as i will test it tomorrow (prodably with 2 black canister) your coment it was that i want to hear ,thanks
