I agree - long shot.... but, on the off chance that you're inundated with offers from operators keen to sell their PRO arms.... can I make the request that you send your surplus offers on to me please, as I'm also in the market! <_<

I found working out in the gym a couple of week where you perfrom targeting exercises for back/shoulders/chest and legs works well but don't miss out on your core - it really helps with control. Leg raises, cycling and crunches will help strengthen the core but russian twists are the best! Russian Twists 1. Lie on the floor (lock your feet under a stationary object and raise your shoulders a couple inches off the floor to aid movement). 2. Place your palms together, straight up in the air. Your arms should be stretched completely out at a point just below your chin. You may hold a weight in your hands for greater resistence. Typically people use 5-25 pound plates. 3. Rotate your shoulders to the right side. Your hips should stay rigid and your palms should move a complete 90 degrees. 4. Repeat this movement to the opposite side. 5. Continue until failure. Also - for your lower back - try the 'Good Morning' 1. Hold a barbell with an overhand grip so that it rests on your upper back and not on your neck. Set your feet a shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent while keeping your back straight. Focus your eyes forward. 2. Gradually bend forward using your hips to lower your chest while maintaining the natural arch in your lower back. Keep your head up and maintain about the same angle of your knees. 3. Lift your upper body back into starting position. And for your legs - squats work well. 1. From a rack with barbell upper chest height, position bar high on back of shoulders and grasp barbell to sides. Dismount bar from rack and stand with shoulder width stance. Execution 2. Descend until thighs are just past parallel to floor. Extend knees and hips until legs are straight. Return and repeat. Hope these help.

Follow up: Well since noone else seemed to know I found out whilst on a shoot this week.... Yes you can and its pretty easy: Remove two top screws at front base of handle (where it connects to the top of the body) and stick them in a ziplock. Remove single screw (with a small crosshead screwdriver) on the rear top of the handle - again into the ziplock with this and the little plate which comes off with it!) Remove the two screws under the plate you've just removed and into the ziplock with this. The tally lamp will now be exposed - it can be rmeoved but its pretty much out of the way but can be taped down on its spring. Camera will now fit a tight low mode cage or the AR revolution rings with ease.

PM'd you some info on a new red specific sled - I've flown it and its rock solid and modular like the red!

I'm trying to find a good stockist of dionic 90's for same day pickup/supply in London or surrounding area. Anyone know of one? I've tried my usual suspects but most have them on a 3 day order! Thanks

Hi all how easy (or otherwise) is it to remove the handle on the 790? Thanks

Hi all I have in mind an upgrade to an American c-stand as I feel my turtle base c stand always feel a little less stable than I'd like. Anyone any observations or other recommendations? Will a long sled clear the legs on the American c-stand when in dynamic balance? Thanks

Speak with Christian Betz http://www.betz-tools.com/acc_tiltplate.php

Hey Marco What are you flying at the moment? I'd fly both and work out what feels and works best for you. My personal view having flown both is the MK-V is the better rig and has more of an upgrade path than the clipper. The clipper also appears to be engineered to keep the cost low. The MK-V is a quality, modular system and will upgrade to the AR when you're ready. The G50 arm is nice but I get by with a comfortable 3a arm with gold springs. I've tried the Pro arm which feels better than the G50 but I still feel more at home with the 3a. Like I said - fly both and see what works for you. Tiffen are bound to be at IBC and Howard at MK-V is at IBC this weekend - pop down and fly the MK-V and clipper side by side!

Sorted now thanks.

Hi I'm looking for an Ultra 2 vest - prefer UK based but will consider one from abroad. Please email pictures and prices! Thanks

It was just curiosity :ph34r: . I have a 3a arm recently serviced by Bees but I'm always intersted to see what's out there and who is developing what. If I was upgrading I'd probably go for either the steadyrig or a G50/70 but at the moment with gold springs I can fly pretty much whatever comes my way. Thanks for the replies tho'.

Interested to know if anyone has any experience of this arm and if its iso elastic or not? Thanks

Hi all I am looking for a used Movcam Knight D202 rig. Need complete rig (arm, vest, sled and case + ancilliaries) Please email me with details.
