Hello once again, Some time ago, I posted here to invite operators to participate in Beta testing spring Covers to fit CP Models I, II, III, IIIa and EFP Arms. The critique, assessments, and feedback were very positive, although not all were public. https://steadicamforum.com/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&controller=topic&id=32665#comment-142089 Since then, I have made a batch of twenty, which have now all been sold to very happy customers. I've now made another batch of twenty that are immediately available and will be putting them up on the Steadyrig website shop. Kind regards, Hugo Rig Engineering Melbourne, Australia. Rigs Can Fly.

Hello Everyone, This arm has been sold, but for those of you who missed out, the good news is that we may have another previously owned arm on the horizon. If you are still in need of one, please get in touch, and we’ll make sure you are on the list.

Recently, I have done a total rebuild on a previously owned Silver Spring Arm. The arm has been stripped to the bone, I have given it the whole nine yards, which included: · A complete dismantle · Metal surface refinishing · All new screws · All new bearings · All new bumpers · All aluminium parts re-anodized · New pin block return spring · Comes with an original speed crank · New 6" arm post · New Arm post clamp ring · Bench tested · 13 to 63 lbs. lift range · Comes with a standard Rig Engineering full warranty After this process, this arm, effectively, is what one may now consider as almost a new arm. A trusty workhorse with Just a few minor battle scars that can be seen if you look hard enough. Please note, this arm comes with brand new all black powder coated spring covers, see photos. Those who may be interested please send us an email. Kind regards, Hugo Langer Rig Engineering Melbourne, Australia. Rigs Can Fly. T: +61-4-1356-1635 E: admin@steadyrig.com W: www.steadyrig.com

Greetings to everyone, For those of you who may be considering upgrading their Sled to HD we currently have several HD-SDI Wiring Harnesses/Looms available, which are purpose-built for 1 ½” inch Centre Posts. The Specs are as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESIGN FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS ------------------------------------------------------------- The cord consists of a coiled section with a straight tail on either end of it. Each straight tail is approximately 1 metre/39 inches long. The extra length in the tail gives the operator two options: The electrics person can cut off the extra length, strip off the outer sheath, and use the inner wires for the internals of the upper and lower junction boxes. This provides consistency throughout the wiring on the rig, with no need to spend time sourcing materials elsewhere. There is sufficient length to enable the cord to be installed into a Super Post. SPECS 4 cores, 18 AWG (red, black, green, white) 2 cores, 26 AWG (red, black) 4 cores, 28 AWG (red, black, blue, yellow) 1x RG 179 75-ohm mini coax (for HD-SDI) Wire configuration/order matches that of the industry standard Outer jacket colour: Black OD of the cord to suit standard Lemo plug OD of the coil to suit the inner diameter of 1 ½” inch centre post In addition, the wire is configured the same throughout the cable, resulting in a mirror image no matter where it is cut. This will make your electrics technician very happy. We have several in stock, and they are available through our Website. HD-SDI Wiring Harness/Looms for 1 ½” inch Centre Posts Upgrade - Steadyrig

For those of you who have a Cinema Products Arm, Models III, IIIA or EFP, your elbow bumpers may have reached the point where they have perhaps seen better days and require replacement. A lot of you have probably experienced in the past that they are near impossible to find the exact matching bumpers and screws. Well, we have plenty of original Elbow Rubber Bumper in Stock. If you’re interested click here: https://www.steadyrig.com/product/arm-elbow-bumpers/

We put this post up about four weeks ago, then the unexpected happened. We were inundated with enquiries and found ourselves overwhelmed with a huge number of requests, but we managed to get them all dispatched. In the midst of it all, trying to keep up, someone suggested we should create an online storefront. This way, operators can view the price, tailor the order to their needs, purchase the quantities of stainless steel and/or high-tensile screws they would like to buy and provide their ship-to details. We are happy to let you know that our IT Administrator has been hard at work and that our new online storefront is now open! If you visit the Steadyrig website’s products page or click here: https://www.steadyrig.com/product/socket-block-adjustment-screw/ you will see we now list the Socket Block adjustment screws in our new “Shop Online” section, and you can put your order in.

For your interest Here in Australia, our financial year ends on the 30th of June and leading up to this date, we are conducting our annual stocktake and have found that we have too many socket block adjustment screws. These screws have a nib machined on the end so that when the end of the screws becomes galled over time, one can still unwind and disengage the screw from the socket block. The nib also provides a positive and convincing engagement with your arm. We have stainless steel and high-tensile available. The stainless steel won’t rust, but being grade 304 (surgical grade steel), It is a little more malleable and will tend to wear down a little faster than the high-tensile screws. On the other hand, the high-tensile screws (which our industry has been using for decades) are not subject to wearing down so fast but can be subject to surface rust in general environments and more so in tropical and higher humidity locations. So, to minimise this, we have treated them with a black oxide coating. We are happy to sell them as a pair and singles if you want additional ones. If you are interested, please send us an Email.

Thanks for your interest. For many years I've had a number of ideas that I planned to pursue when the time was right. However, frustratingly, though I've started work on many of them, I've always been too busy to complete them. Then we were hit by the pandemic, and we went into Lockdown. I thought to myself, Hoowww's that! Excellent. This is the time, this is the perfect opportunity to make progress on the projects, so I headed to my workshop and had a nice, quiet time with few distractions. Several of these projects have now been completed, but I've not had the opportunity to introduce them to our industry due to restrictions caused by the lockdowns. The product of today's topic are Arm Spring Covers, made to suit Cinema Products' older edition arms. I developed these spring Covers to fit CP Models I, II, III, IIIa and EFP Arms. If you own one of these Arms and it suffers from general wear and tear damage such as battle scars, being bent, scratches, dents, cracks, creaking or outright tired, this product should provide a fix. The material that these covers are made of is more robust and thus less prone to damage in the future. Furthermore, over the last twenty-five or so years, I have on numerous occasions worked on some CP arms that had a problem with their springs scraping the inside of their covers as you boom up and down. I guarantee that these Spring Covers won't. Despite the dimension-critical requirements for making these Spring covers and the unique differences between various CP models I had to account for, I am pretty confident that I have got the geometry right and come up with a universal Spring Cover to fit all the older CP model arms. Frustratingly, now some products are not so easy to bring to the marketplace so quickly, since many of our suppliers are in catch-up due to Covid. In the future, we will gradually be releasing more other products at the rate that our suppliers can provide.
