  1. If anyone is looking to sell a couple of Black cannisters for the PRO arm, reach out and let me know.
  2. I'm not sure what resources are around you, but I enjoy going to a local camera rental house to practice. It's a great opportunity to fly different cameras, lenses, accessories... and to test new equipment that you might have recently purchased. As far as getting more subjects in a frame, pull your friends and other production folks together to create your own practice sessions. Create a series of shot ideas/techniques you would like to drill and work them together, rotating people around as actors, operators and also observation to watch from a distance and critique from there. This method is also great to do when wanting to brush up on conventional operating skills as well.
  3. If the cannisters are still available, would you accept $2900? Thanks
  4. If these cannisters are still available, would you accept $2900?
  5. Any interest in selling the two Black Cannisters and cannister bag?
  6. Bryan, Any interest is selling the 2 Black Canisters and bag? Thanks, Aaron King
  7. I know this is an old post, but by chance are these wheels still available? Let me know. Thanks.
  8. Selling a right handed XCS Ergo Handle. I have kept this one as a backup the past few years, but need to free up some funds. It is in Very Good cosmetic condition. Let me know if you are interested. $900 OBO.
  9. Several years ago I had the Volt modified to my Pro Gimbal and have had a wonderful experience. I know my Pro Gimbal, I trust it and how it feels. It's easy for me to disassemble for cleaning/maintenance... When Tiffen announced they were able to modify it to fit a Pro Gimbal, it was a no brainer for me. The Volt functions just as it would on any other gimbal, but I still have the confidence in the Pro gimbal that I already trust. When needed, the Volt is easy to remove in order to service the gimbal at home, which is a big plus.
  10. I bought one a couple of years ago for practice reasons as well. It's been great to have for those times I want to brush up on the wheels and either can't get to a rental house, or they can't accommodate at the time. It surprisingly is a solid build with a close feel to a professional gearhead, but I would NEVER use it on a job. It lacks the great features and it's tolerances are not 100%, but for at home practice, it will be great.
  11. Over the weekend I did some maintenance on my gear and decided to clean my pan bearings. My setup is a Volt/Pro modified gimbal. I've done this a few times before, so I am comfortable doing it and getting it all back together. For some reason, this time is different and I am getting play (a wiggle) in the pan bearing housing. I have taken it back apart and reassembled several times to make sure everything is done correctly, but I keep getting the same results. Once built and rebalanced, I give it the 180 test and it does list to the side in a small way, so this is having an affect on balance. I've attached a couple of videos to show what is occuring. It's subtle, but it's there. Heck, for all I know this level of play has always been there, and for some reason I'm just now tuned in to it, but I doubt it. I've emailed all this to Tyson at Tiffen for their take. I've not heard back yet, so I thought I would see if others have had this. With it being the Volt on a Pro gimbal, it brings up the good question of what component is in question and who will work on it, if I need to send it in. Top_Gimbal.mp4 Bottom_Gimbal.mp4
  12. I've had an intermittent issue where it wants to pull my pan to the right, but only when the rig becomes static. I know it's not supposed to have any influence in the pan, but I seem to get it from time to time. The issue didn't start happening until 4 months after purchasing it. I've been in touch with Tiffen about it, and they've walked me through some tips and trouble shooting, but it still comes up. I had it happen on a shoot the other week and failed to get a video showing what it does. I later tried to recreate the situation at home and a rental house, but the issue didn't occur. The tugging on the pan only happens when the Volt is engaged, so I know it's not a problem with the gimbal itself. I should mention that my Volt is fitted to the Pro gimbal.
  13. Item has been SOLD.
