Hi Pedro, Which Winter X Games did you work? Aspen or Tingnes?

Good to Hear Thomas

Yes Old Friend you did a bang up job. And didn't pass out like I did in KC! I had a problem with th e vibration using our Ultra rig at last years Summer X Games. I found that I had the moving part of the top stage adjusted wat too forward. Once I dialed it in better everything seemed to calm down. Good to watch your shots.

Hello Everyone, I know this thread is a bit old but I figured I give my 2 cents. We bought a ZOE unit to replace a old J7 and it worked great....until it started to work like crap. It was drifting and the zoom speed dial fell apart. It basically was not standing up to the daily use it gets here day in and day out. So we purchased a Libec ZC-9Pro. This thing rocks. It seems to be built a bit sturdier than the ZOE. After several monthes of use we have had no drifting with out Fuji lenses. We currently have 3 Libecs in service and all are performing great. The Libec ZC-9Pro is definately the best replacement for the outdated J7 and cheaper that the Zoe.

LOL . . . when I saw you auger into that dirt pile I almost peed myself . . . . Nice stuff this year BTW, it's about time they started using you, unfortunately They still don't have the budget to match your efforts ! If you see Stevie the producer of that 3-D movie tell him I said congrads We'll do. Thanks for the Kudos...now get back to counting all your money :)

Hello everyone!!! I just wanted to let everyone know the X Games 3D movie coming out tomorrow features me flying a very loaded down Ultra. From what I have been told by people who have seen it I should sue to be in the credits :) I hear there's great shot of me trying like hell to get to the top of the step up jump to get up to Ricky Carmichael after he won. One of m friends said I look like a tank trying to get traction the loose dirt. I'm looking forward to seeing hope you guys get a kick out of it. -Erik

very true. the 21st is a busy night. Wish I could have made it out. How did it go? Hopefully I'll be out for summer X.

Your such a techno weenie . . . LOL . . . So Rob did you end up reping these things?

Oh you had to bring that up . . . . !! Ya the vest I had on didn't have the O-Shit cord and it was straight to the bottom of the pool . . . Dec. 3rd, 4pm 2003, 40 degrees and the water was about 45 . . .brrrrrrr in Las Vegas Thanks for bring that back up Eric . . . . LOL . . . . . Sorry bud you're the only guy I know who as had a dunking in the rig......feel free to send copies of me falling up the step up jump this summer at X to everyone on the forum. Erik

We at the World wide leader recently bought 2 of these monitors. One came with our new C312 and one for our EFP upgrade. I agree with all of Rob's findings and have found another potential issue they might want to look into. I was out in Oakland shooting Monday Night Football. I was using a camera RF (Feedom!!!) and found that if I was near anyone using a wakie talkie or other transmitting device my screen would go blue until I could move away or position myself to use my body to block the signal best I could. The RF tech and I though maybe if I terminated the unused inputs on the back of the monitor I would help the monitor deal with interference. But to no luck. So then I thought the maybe the thin coax I was using might not have thick enough shielding to block out the various RF signals I was getting into. So I swapped out to thicker coax for my monitor feeds. But I still kept getting blue screen. Luckly for the most part I was able to get my shots with no issues. My RF tech and I seem to think that the shielding, if any, inside the monitor might not be enough to block random RF signals. But other than that the forn the money this monitor rocks. Hopefully I get the chance to use it at this years Winter X. I will give a full report of the monitors cold weather performance. -Erik

I think Rob Vuona told me a story where he was shooting next to a pool and missed a step and had to yank kinda place the rig on the side as he was falling in......I think it was Rob.....
