Hi although I have not personally used a raven for actually work, I have put one on and set it up to test out a system before shipping it out to Colombia for a fellow operator who bought one of those Pro-Line Raven systems here in the states. The system is pretty much barebones I have heard that the newer arm that is offered now is a lot smoother and better than the older version that came with the system that I was prepping to ship down south. The vest does not come with the little side straps that connect the midsection with the lower lumbar support and I feel that that is an absolute necessity in any vest. I'm sure you can go to a good Shoemaker or leatherworker and have them add those straps with some quick disconnect buckles and you'd instantly upgrade the feel of the vest. For the money you can't beat it I've heard prices of $4,000 and even sometimes less for the entire kit it's an amazing deal and then the first upgrade that I would suggest would be to get an older Master Series arm or a steady rig arm. There's even a G50 xarm being sold for $4,000 on the Forum that is just an amazing deal. Good luck. Ozzie

Hi folks. Did anyone get the travel case for their Innovative 37 Scout and decided you're never going to use it again and want to sell it? Ozzie

BTTT Looking for a GPI telescoping post 1.5" no cable needed. with the threaded ends..

Received my 8. AWESOME!! Thank you, Great Deal!!

Looking forward to it. Haven't been there in a bit. Planning on attending!!

Looking for a 1.5 inch pro post with internal HD cable and 1.5 inch gimbal. For use with my cinelive. If the price is right I can pay for it and pick it up at cinegear or stabilizer expo. Ozzie

Hiya.. Looking for an XCS super post with the GPI/Pro inserts at the ends. Now.... there are the older inserts which have a very small amount of threads and the newer inserts which have the larger number of threads which will match the thicker knurled ring on the Cine Live sleds. Would like it to have a perfect working order HD cable like used on the current Cine Live sleds. If the Price is Right I can pick it up at cinegear or stabilizer Expo. Ozzie

For years I just checked in my Klassen Deluxe vest with extra clothes in it in the bag it comes in, no damage ever. I did remove the arm, and cradled it inside the vest and then packed clothes on in there. ended up weighing like 28lbs.. Just my experience... Ozzie

I've been using Matthias bracket for my Starlite HD on live shows for several months. Works great. On non live shows I put the bracket on the top rods and have a great low mode monitor in the right spot.

Hi Alfeo, what are they charging for an HC90 at Batteries Plus? I've used Ritter for many years ( They're also 20 minutes form my house). Their customer service is excellent and super quick turnaround. I believe the HC90's are $179. My HC's are going on 4 years of use and only now are showing signs of needing a rebuild. Ozzie

Hi Folks. Would love to find a Betz Wave camera plate stateside for sale. I have one with my Wave but would like to have another for the bottom. Ozzie

The folks I sold mine to are in Atlanta, XCS Post, Diodes in the AB plates, XCS HD line down the post. Originally modified by Erwin, sold to Geoff Shotz, then to me, I had David Hable do his thing to it, to make it HD then it went to ATL. Hope you find one, they're great!

Hi Tim. Where is this located? I have a colleague from Colombia here in Miami looking for a complete sled. arm/vest system and this may work out for him. Best, Ozzie Ozzie@silverafilm.com

I too use the Samurai Blade. It's been my on board recorder for the last 5 years. Almost everything on my reel is from there.

Hiya.. Any pics of it in use? Would like to see how it's mounted on a GPI sled. Thanks.. Ozzie
