I just wanted to point out that this is very much a personal thing and that one should try on the vests before hand if they get a chance. I know of a number of people that found the ultra 2 vest more comfortable than the archer vest so they upgraded to that. Personally I find the vest that comes with the archer much more comfortable than the ultra 2 vest. There is also the compact vest which may fit people with smaller frames better. ~Jess Thank you very much for your time and information. Cheers, Emre

Hello Everyone, I am in the process of purchasing a new Archer system and I wanted to get advice on a few topics from Archer owners and the veteran ops. Background: I am a steadicam Op/Owner that is 7 years young with the steadicam and 15 years in the business. I have had private tuition beginners and master classes from Paul Taylor. I have owned a Provid 2,a flyer and had a lot of experience with the clipper and Ultra. I am looking to replace my system with a Archer and have read through the forum to make sure I was making the right choice. I will be getting the Ultra Vest,AB mount, bartech FF w/M1. Questions: 1- How do you get the best dynamic balance when flying a Varicam or similar size camera since there is less lower mass? Do you use battries like the AB dionic 90 or Dionic 160? I have seen pix on peoples website where they add an additional counter weight on the bottom of the sled using the battery extension rods. 2-Do you think it's worth getting the flight case for the ultra vest? Or is the standard case rugged enough to handle the everyday operations. 3- I was think of adding (and should have already) a steadicam cart from filmtools.com with a mount and vest holder. Any other brands or alternatives you might suggest? 4- Any tools or widgets you think any Op should have with the archer to make life easier? 5-Anything like: Archer is great BUT ............................?????? Thank you in advance for your time and taking the time to respond in your very busy schedules. Cheers, Emre Tufekci www.productionpit.com
