Im not sure who he was working for, and i wouldnt be surprised if he was throwing the rig for free...

Here is a Varizoom rig at the Superbowl Media Day. The op walked into the superdome with no stand, gets to security sets the rig on the base then lets it fall on to the mat, same for the arm. I watched him do that several times throughout the day as well as operate as far down as he could get his hand to the base of the sled... Totally unprofessional, but im sure this is future of our business, producers dont care as long as its cheap and looks "OK"...

I was not aware of the second battery mount on the zephyr. Thanks guys for letting me know about it.

The charging part in the docking bracket not at unimaginable... With things like charging mats and such. Contacts on the gimbal and bracket, coiled cable (ran inside your stand) that connects the docking bracket to the bottom of your stand that's connected to a block battery or AC power. Now I wouldn't use it to charge your batts but to switch power sources to larger one is not a bad idea... Saves you money, you would have to buy less batts, and your battery overall life would be longer. I have thought about adding a 4-pin and a 3-pin XLR in the bottom of my sled to plug in a block battery so that the camera would be powered from that instead of my batts. For those long lighting setups and stunt resets that take a long time. Also Alan, the Zephyr only has one battery postion...

Hey guys I found this on ebay. They are 75ohm 10" to 22" right angled HDSDI cable for $22 a piece.

This cart is only 30" wide and top speed of 10 mph http://www.cartmart.com/taylor-dunn-personnel-carriers.php and if you need to chase the person rather then proceed there is this cart 29.5" top speed of 8mph http://www.cartmart.com/taylor-dunn-stockchasers.php Since the average human running speed is around 9 mph they might work out of you...

are these what u are lookin for? http://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Belt-HDSLR-Follow-RL02/dp/B005GWHG54/ref=pd_cp_p_1

Also another great product! Very well made I bought along with the zoom riser and its machined very well and all metal so it will last forever. Very light weight. Good buy

I just got one of these and its very well made and works perfect!!! Plus its priced to sell! If you use a ZOE Zoom Rocker you should buy one of these!

Does anyone use the remote trigger have ever felt the need to have a remote trigger that was on the gimbal for NANO flash??

TSA is worried about body scanners, earlier this year I went through 3 security areas in 2 different airports with a full size leatherman wave in my carry on... And the first check point I walked into the wrong concourse because I read my ticket wrong and I didn't realize it until I got in and couldn't find my gate... Screw those damn body scanners Im worried about checked and carry on bags... Also you only going to be as smart as the people that are working for you, some of those TSA people are pretty stupid...

can't wait to work another show and get one!!
