I have a pro style sled for sale, HDSDI. but no arm or vest. But I am looking for around your total asking price for just the sled. Contact me if you're interested. Good luck finding a full kit for that price.

Hi David, I have sent you a message via the forum, I am interested in the gimbal. If you could get back to me with your email address that'd be great. joe.lawry@gmail.com Cheers Joe

Yes, email definitely makes life a lot easier.

$1000 a day for a music video? Man I wish I got offered that. Im lucky if I get $500 NZD, around $400 USD. Got a phone call the other day that started with, "The other op that had to cancel on us was going to do it for free because he knew the band.." It was a fully loaded Epic job with Ultra's. Wouldn't have fit on my Flyer LE and im not pulling my pro out for that money. Next. I unfortunately don't get any steadicam at work at the mo.. my $1500 day rate inc kit is apparently too high. Edit: just to put it in perspective.. the average New Zealand Music video has a budget of about $6000 USD for the entire thing..

bump. open to offer model gimbals.. just need to be 1.5"

Looking for a 3a Gimbal.. cheers.

BH had the Wevi for 4k a few weeks back, and now its almost the same price as a a Recon. Interesting. I almost bought a Recon last week but have held off.. too many new things coming out. I'll make production rent Camwaves a few more times.

I can't remember the last time I bothered to dynamically balance.. The work I do never seems to call for it. Buy a cheap DSLR so you have something to fly on the Pilot in your spare time. I wouldn't go spending too much money especially if you have access to other cameras at work.

From what i've heard there is only one in existence and they are looking for a manufacturer to pick it up.

Looks like sled vibration to me. Make sure everything is locked down tight. Seeing a pic of how it was built would definitely help.

I'll be at NAB.

Louis, Im guessing there is a battery in the black box to supply the 3.3v? Or does that come directly from the BDR? Cheers

add at least a 1 in front of that figure. my offer still stands as im the most local Op that posted in this thread.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/579907-REG/Glidecam_HD_2000_HD2000_Stabilizer_System.html buy it. stop bothering the big guys. Find me on facebook if you've got more questions.

FYI not all people named Joe are this much of a muppet..

Haha Rhys Duncan and James Stanton obviously got a bit bored over the Rugby World Cup this year.. nice work guys.

Agreed, internal batteries. I dont bother powering any cameras off my sled unless they are a full sized broadcast style camera. With all the little cameras out now days (DSLRs, AF100, F3) I always just run them off their own camera batteries, the more weight above the gimbal the better.

My Flyer LE monitor has gone slightly south, its lost all green, which isnt the end of the world for framing, just kind of annoying. Can buy new off ebay or from GC, but thought i'd see if anything was kicking around. No real rush.. Cheers

Got to love putting Actors in a rig.

Sold. Looking forward to seeing the new design 7".

Cheers for the blog post Ben, a really cool read! after a few more watches full screening it on a decent monitor I finally noticed the cut's in the hallway scene, but that was me pixel peeping. Once again an amazing shot!

Amazing, would love to know how the lock off was done.. the shot is obviously still moving, but considering the time ramp, how does it stay so still?.. probably asking a stupid question with an obvious answer..

I spoke with Hugo on the phone a few weeks ago, and had heard things were not the best. I am so sorry for your loss Hugo, thoughts and prayers coming from across the ditch.

Eric, can you confirm how you are doing this? gimbal handle on the balance pin of your docking bracket, without a 'mickey'? Everything else makes perfect sense, but this first step in my mind needs some clarification. Cheers

Any chance of international shipping?
