Hello everyone, Here is the video I shot yesterday. Simple walking shot Camera at shoulder height Side shot Focus distance around 2 meters Focal length 6.4mm Film length 01:22 Click here I think that I still need to control the frame. Needs more practise. I look forward to your comments. :) Regards Leigh

Hi Lohengrin, You have not told me which video url you want to watch in quicktime .mov. So I just guess that you want to watch this video. Click here. Scroll the page to bottom, there is a link to quicktime encoding. Regards Leigh

Hi Lohengrin, Thanks for your interest to watching my video. Due to the file size, it is not possible to just email you the file. I will encode the file in .mov once I back to home and post the links on the same page and send you an email about new file location for you to download. Which video url you want to me to encode as .mov file? I don't have steadicam. I am using my diy one. Regards Leigh

Hi Lohengrin, I don't have any experience about making money. All I can suggest is to use all your available free time to practise. :) Regards Leigh

Hello everyone, Here is the video I shot yesterday. Side wide angle shot at 6.4mm on Fujinon s20x6.4brm-sd 1/2 lense. Camera lense at shoulder height The focus distance is around 8 meters. Click here I look forward to your comments. :) Regards Leigh

Hi Eric, May I ask how to get to your level to hold the rig that longer? What exercise will help? I can carry 25kg for an hour without problem. I have not tried 40kg. I thought that might kill me. TIA Regards Leigh

Hi Kevin, Your high school seems really great place to study. :) I only had limited chance to use a computer in my university as I was studying computer science. :( Regards Leigh

Hi Efletcher, Thanks for the information. May I ask how long can you last to continue carry 90lbs weight for shooting? One hour? Regards Leigh When I flew it on "Family Affair" equipped with the Telecast Copperhead box, Canon HD Short Zoom, Arri MB-18, the Aladdin follow focus prototype (For Iris control) and three focus motors the camera came to be 44" long and 46 lbs. Add the sled suit and arm and it was a 90lbs beast

Hi Mitch, Do you know the weight of the F900/3 CineAlta? Thanks Regards Leigh

Hi Robert, The stabilizer I was using is a diy one made by myself. Thanks for the suggestion. :) I will try those. Regards Leigh

Hi Stephen, Thanks for the hint. :) Regards Leigh

Thanks I live in North Shore, Auckland Regards Leigh

It has been a long time since I posted my video in this forum. Anyway FYI, here is the video I shot this morning. http://www.salenz.com/movie/www.salenz.com...coding_600k.wmv http://www.salenz.com/movie/www.salenz.com...coding_100k.wmv It is a nice day. :) Regards Leigh

Hi Eric, You are right that I have no experience with any rigs listed here. Do you want to offer me a free try for all these rigs? :D I guarantee that I won't cause you trouble if I hurt myself using these rigs. :P I suggest that ultra one is that I think ultra one offer remote head control and iso-elastic arm which I think is quite good feature. Anyway that is just my view. Regards Leigh If I were you, I will choose Steadicam Ultra Cine NTSC/PAL Complete System(Order code: MUHDT2AHAPTTU4) if money is not an issue. :D Regards Leigh And why would you suggest that over the Pro2 or the XCS Ultimate? I am curious as to your reasoning considering your experience level with all three rigs (Zero iirc)

If I were you, I will choose Steadicam Ultra Cine NTSC/PAL Complete System(Order code: MUHDT2AHAPTTU4) if money is not an issue. :D Regards Leigh

There's a video published by "Award Winning Workshops" entitled "Advanced Steadicam Techniques". It's the only training type video on Steadicam that I know of. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you if it's worth its price ($90USD). Perhaps someone else here has actually seen it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I own that video. It is worth the price. Regards Leigh

Hi David, Thanks for the help. I am reading the photography book which I borrowed from the library. I hope that I first get great photo, then I will study how to make movie. Also I am learning to play piano to develop a good sense of feeling. Regards Leigh

Hi John, That is a marvelous suggestion :) . Regards Leigh

Hi Job Scholtze, Thanks for the suggestion. I watched your video. The composition and the lightings and your skill is fantastic. :D By the way, what is your model no of your camera? What is your lense you put in front of your pro35? How much cost of the lense? It looks really cool in your demo video. Regards Leigh

Hello everyone, I made a video yesterday afternoon. I think that I need more practise. Small size around 10mbytes encoded with wmv format Click here Full screen size around 133mbytes encoded with wmv format Click here The camera I was using was JVC GY-DV5000 with Fujinon s20x6.4brm-sd lense which weighs around 6kg for the whole camera. Regards Leigh

Sorry for asking that question Regards Leigh

Please post a pic of you with your onboard notebook!?! LOL :P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't own a notebook. :( Regards Leigh

How this digital recorder compare to a a notebook? A notebook normally has 15inch lcd screen with 80G or more hard disk depends on your choice which can record DV avi input from firewire 1394 connection which is good quality than mpeg2. Regards Leigh

Hi Matt, What is the price range to define cheap? Will US$2,000 for the rig to use with XL2 be cheap? Just interested to know. Regards Leigh

Hi David, I checked the page and I have a question. It seems that the product specification does not mention about record the video just as normal DV AVI file format. I don't like divx, mpeg2 format as the quality will not be recovered in the post production. Do you know anything about that? TIA Regards Leigh
