I am amazed at the many responses I got from this posting, whats equally amazing is that only one person replied who actually owns a mk-v product. Howard you were very quick to respond to the forum post but not your company e-mails which i sent quote requests to three times. you also posted on will arnots link that you never got a quote request from any one for the pro upgrade or the AR. Thats funny because after you read the forum post I got my quote. I am not bashing your product now nor did i before. i'm sure its fantastic and thats what I thought when I tried it in connecticut. And thats why i'm asking for a quote. I am sorry you are all so sensitive but customer support and timely responses are huge in this industry. If it were your bank or mortgage broker i'm sure you would be concerned if you couldn't get a hold of them. Andrew Voegeli

I have been trying to get a quote from mk-v for there pro upgrade and an alien revolution. Funny there is no response. Does anyone out there own anything from them, and if so how is there customer service. From what i can tell its not good. Its a shame because it looks like they make a nice product. Perhaps someone could tell me how to get a hold of Howard. Thanks

If you want to give me a call I can give you some suggestions. And If you need an operator we shoud talk. I have a pro in case your interested in my rig. And an ATV would probably be your best bet for speed, however I'm not sure how the dog would react, you shoud talk to the handler. Give me a call 646-361-3806. mounting the camera and lens you talked about should not be a problem at all. Andy

Does anyone have the contact info for rob luna I am purchassing a 3A arm and I was told he is the man to check it out. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Is there anyone out there with a preston motor they're looking to sell? If so please shoot me an e-mail. thanks

In search of 3A arm

I'm interested in your arm please e-mail me avoegeli@nyc.rr.com

So I want to be a steadicam operator. I found a good used pro sled for a reasonable price. Now I neeed an arm. Pro, Masters, or 3A. The pro obviously is an excellent arm, seems to need very little maintenance and easy to fix in the field should you blow a cannister. I've worked on lots of jobs as an assistant with pro arms and never a problem. Oh yeah, its $20,000. The masters arm, very smooth and adjustable while weighted, great if you want to adjust moments before the shot. However If something goes wrong with it your screwed, and I've seen these fail not pretty very expensive just to be looked at and to fix, and you lose it for a few weeks. The fact that the mechanism is open to the elements it seems to get dirty quick. I have no experience with the 3A arm but i'm told it's very reliable with a reasonable purchase price for a new one. However I was also told that the 3a arm is very springy and not as smooth through the boom as the pro arm. Now, maybe i'm putting to much into this but the arm seems to be 90% of the system. I am just beginning so maybe I should buy a cheaper arm, however I don't need equipment malfunctions early in my career or at any point for that matter. So do I buy cheaper early until I start earning as an operator or do I get the best I can early to help my chances. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am in the market for a used ultra or master series with arm and monitor. I would also consider a pro if the price was right. If know one has a complete system perhaps I could peice one together. So if your selling parts let me know. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Please e-mail avoegeli@nyc.rr.com Thank you, Andrew Voegeli
