    Hi Vicken 

    You should consider the silver spring arm from Steadyrig https://www.steadyrig.com Hugo reputation in the industry is 2nd to none .His arms will cover all the range you are looking for .Very simple to maintain and Hugo's customer service is the Best . A fantastic thing Hugo offers is a Payment plan which many new op's have done as well .

    Good luck

    Hi Hendrikus 

    Welcome to the club .

    There are many steadicam op's in Auckland (many I trained ) namely my great friend Martin Stacey (Adrenochrome Productions )who has quite a few rigs .He is also Omega AR  operator  as well  .He also know many ops as well 

    He is a fantastic guy and I know he will help you on your quest .

    I am teaching a 3 day Silver Workshop (here in Melbourne )in Sept but the only problem for you is it's booked out I could put you on the standby list if you like .Martin is extremely capable of teaching you as well . 

    If I can be of any help just let me know ok .Or here https://www.facebook.com/groups/AustralianSteadicamOps

  5. 3A arm mounting pin lockdown loose

    Hi Krisel

    That is a solid rig and will do you well .

    As to the issue with the post lock off can I say I never locked my post down using that lock off when I owned a 3a arm  .I always used a post collars on all of my posts .

    This enables the post to move freely in the gimbal and the arm .

    Good luck

    Hi Justin 

    Hugo Langer has made looms which will fit your post .If you still have your 2" loom all you will need is to buy the end lemo plug ends  and you should be right to go .

    Hugo's loom has only 1 Video cable but if you need an extra one should not be an issue.

    Good luck

    Hi Lee 

    The main question I would have to ask Why V-Lock mount ?

    I have been a steadicam op for many years and the only time ever my batteries have come off my rig is when I have had V-Locks on it .

    It is a very poor mount IMP .Never has a AB come off my rig .For me AB gold mount is the only way to go .

    As to which batt's all come down to what cameras you want to power but the Titon 90 or 150 will cover most options ok .Paul Dudeck has been a great support to the steadicam community over many many years so I would like to thank him for his help  .

    I welcome you Ted Doubov to our community and I look forward to buying some new Batt's when my other AB's die .

  17. Beginners Setup

    Hi Sebastian 

    Firstly I would run away from anything Movcam as fast as you can  .

    I tested several of their sleds and Yes they may look good e.g. they look EXACTLY like the the G50 /70 (arms ) BUT that where the quality RIPOFF ends . The feel and the boom range is vert poor .

    As to  your choice of a 3A or G50 I would go with the G50 .Yes the 3A arm is solid and has done its job over the last 30 years or so Tiffen have improved the quality of the feel and design and IHO it would serve you will in the future .

    I would have to say all of these choices do not considering your budget .

    If you were to go with the 3A arm it also will do you well .Ask any operator we all used that arm for many years and was a solid piece of kit 

    I hope this helps 

    Good luck .

  20. Mounting 16mm on Artemis Cine broadcast

    in Steadi-Newbies

    I hope you will be using a Arri SR 2 or 3 or an Aaton XTR  with digital video splits .The quality of these splits were never great but usable .

    I would also ask your DP to use as little ND as it will only decrease again the quality of the V/split.

    I would be looking at replacing your current monitor with a Analog monitor .There a lot of monitors out there which have analog inputs ok.

    With regards to Low mode if you don't have a classic LM cage or the right camera bracket I would NOT go poor man LM as there are many issues with doing that ok .   

    Good luck with the shoot
