I couldn't start a topic in market place so I though this might work. I am in need of a stabilizer system to support an outfitted red cam system from March 10-17. The one I had lined up has some issues and is not going to be ready to go by then. I was going to be using a modified Steadicam EFP but the Sled is now having some issues that make it inoperable. ... so I am looking to rent an entire system or just a sled?? Wireless focus system as well if you got it?? Thanks, Brad Calgary, AB

I greatly appreciate the input, thanks! I read what yourself and others had to say on the forms Chris, and all the responses sound very good. I have been looking at the system for a while now and it just seems like a great option. Thanks for the reassurance!

What is the opinion of the Archer2, and what would you guys suggest????? Archer2 or something else for the same price?? The Archer2 meets my requirements but should I be looking at something else?... or should I look to finance for something bigger??? Thanks

Any input or opinion of actioncam products?

What input can you give me about this system? The sled: Master Series lower electronic housing with frame line generator. PRO post and knurled wrap grip. 3A gimbal. DeRose Donkey top stage. Customed HD wriring. 7" LCD. V-mount battery adapter. 3A arm serviced and modified by Robert Luna in August 2009 (new cables and bearings); ranges 13lbs to 53lbs. Baer-bel vest; front mount; strong and very comfortable. (www.baer-bel.de)

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate your input. I got a few replies and will be taking my time in finding a proper rig. Cant wait!

I apologize for the error in the topic. I should read "under 20k"

Hello to all, This type of discussion has bee brought up at several occasions, and I apologize... but I am struggling (investment advice). Over the past year I have been operating a glidecam x10 rig, and I need to upgrade. I am at a point where I have been steady work and most definitely need a better rig to progress. You, the members are my best resource and I would like to consult with you as to what path you would take in upgrading. I am looking to get the most out of my money... as in obtaining a well equipped system. I have seen numerous used rigs within my budget although I am not sure what price point the equipment should fall into. I am looking to find a good rig that supports + 25 lbs if possible. I have experimented with various rigs and the past and like them all much better than my current rig. My favorites have been those which are out of my price range. This new rig will be my 2nd and definitely not my last rig. What would you do? New or used? My budget is 20k. Any resources, positive suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
