Hi, In february I will be flying a JVC GY with an mini35 for a feature film. One of the shots requires me to run (rather fast) through a forrest pointing the camera backwards. Could anyone give me some tips on how to avoid tripping over branches and such. Should i make a route in advance? should i wear gloves while flying the steadicam? ==>cold. If so, which gloves? (the fingerless setwear maybe?). Are there secrets of making the shot look as fast as possible (without going entirely wide-angle)... Any answer to one of these questions would be greatly appreciated, or if you've got some tips to share please feel free. Greets Nils.

Hi Why don't you give the TV-One LM-401M a shot, it's light, rugged, has two inputs and an output. Good value for money, I bought mine on ebay for about 90$

P.S. For all the people who aren't bothered by the PAL-NTSC issue on this monitor i'd still recommend it. The color is good, the brightness is easily adjustable as is the contrast. It has two composite inputs and one composite output, an audio in and a headphone output. When you hook it up to a small 12v battery you can use it for almost an entire day without glitches in the image. In short, a very good and sturdy monitor for newbies or a return signal for live-event operators.

For a while now i've got a 4" TV-One monitor to put on my rig. On the site it says that PAL and NTSC are automatically detected, but when I hook up my camera (Canon XL1s PAL) I only get a black and white signal. When i hook up my iphone in NTSC mode ==> Color. What should I do? Buy a new monitor that IS PAL-compatible, or look for a portable PAL-NTSC converter. I really do like the monitor, good view in the sunlight, but a little bit reflective sometimes Some input would be very kind Thanks http://www.tvone.com/lm-401-701-main.shtml
