  1. Andre, my efp vest was in a great shape for its age, but the thing twisted like crazy under load. Screwed up my operating pretty bad. Dan let me demo an LX vest once and I remember saying to myself, Oh this is what it's supposed to feel like? I had control of the rig with my torso for the first time. I use a Pro now. Would like to give the exovest another try.
  2. Jess, sucks that you've gotten negative vibes from people. Your passion is clear from what you've written. Stay the course and do what you love. If people are hating on you, it's because they see you as competition and a threat. But, congrats! That's not an easy level to achieve in your market. You can give the big LA ops a run for their money now. Go get 'em

  5. Ha, I know Rob. It was the first big rig I owned. Cost me a lot to get out of it. I still say that vest was miserable. Like mounting a socket block to a t-shirt.
  6. I had an EFP and found that I was trapped in a world where I couldn't upgrade from it because it wasn't really modular. I found a used Pro sled to be a much better investment since it is super modular and is made by a company still in business, unlike cinema products. I found the EFP vest to be absolute junk in the way it fit and it's lack of control. The arm however behaved really nice and was the best part of the entire rig. I kept the arm as long as possible while trading the sled and vest. Eventually trading the arm because I was pushing the weight capacity of it on each new job. By all means piece together a rig from used rigs, but read A LOT of the archives on this forum to determine which components work best for you. An EFP sled can be flown by most arms, and the EFP arm can fly most sleds and mate with most vest. But getting down to gimbals, electronics, top stages, that's where it well be limiting since an EFP can be almost 25 years old.
  7. SteadyRig Silver Spring Arm. Great condition! Arm Post and Padded Pro bag included. $7500 kevin@denversteadicam.com
  8. Diddo. BFD handset dropped into a river, Jim had me up and running with a new board very fast. Customer service is EVERYTHING. Invest in the best.
  9. Used the ks-6x6 system recently on my sled in regular mode, low mode, and vehicle mounted on the windy salt flats. Thanks to Tom's great machining skills, I was able to mount the unit to the lower ab mount. And thanks to Larry's awesome advice, I was able to fly with them with only minor adjustments to my operating and grip. On a job right after, I actually missed having that "solid" feel to the sled, but the gyros are actually so good and solid that they would probably prohibit most of the traditional operating you need to do. I could see however, a great addition to the ks-6x6 system being variable speed control so you could "dial-in" the amount of resistance you want/need. http://www.denversteadicam.com/#!IMG_6972JPG/zoom/cbhd/image1r6z
  10. I've been holding back on posting because of the epicness of the operators sharing their great works. I also mainly shoot commercials, so I don't get the opportunity to do long shots, or even shots that are purposed for the Steadicam. That's just the nature of my market I guess. I'll share this one clip for a hunting show that I thought came out alright. It is heavy on post coloring and re-framing however. I can't figure out how to embed here. http://vimeo.com/34354946
