Hi Andrew, thanks for reply. as I said Im new on using flyer and actually new on using EX3 as well. so Your suggestions are very very helpfull. in this time I use ex3 cca 80% shooting by hand, not tripod or steadycam, so Im a little bit worry about weight of baseplate. ex3 is heavy for handheld shooting even without additional eqipment like baseplate... but I would prefer baseplate placed only to the bottom of camera, not to bottom and back part. (do you think that increasing of stability using baseplate conected also in back part of ex3 is so significant for using ex3 on tripod?) probably the best solution is make it by myself to fit it to sledge of flyer and to meet requirements of manfrotto videohead 501 as well. smart craftman can do it - if not, i would need to wait for shipping from canada...

Kevin, can you please post picture of your set up with coasters? Also Im concerning about position of dovetail on the EX3. Because if I want to keep center of gravity just exactly at the hole suggested by Steadycam, dovetail is conected to EX3 only with one screw and fore part of dovetail is just under end of the lens where no junction with the EX3 is. And this setup is very unstable even with coaster. My be I do something wrong - so picture would be very helpfull. Thanks a lot. Mario

Andrew and Kevin, thank you for good advices. I'm gonna try cardboards first /or boards made of cork/. And also Andrew's hint is affordable price, thank you both. Mario

Thank you Jess for you suggestions. Some kind of plate like those by vfgadgest.com would be fine, but their products are a little bit heavy instead of this one: "EX3 Base Plate shoulder mount with back plate" I prefere to switch this system pretty often among using on tripod, then on shoulder and of course with flyer LE. My be those products are OK /talking about speed of changing way of shooting/. What solution do you exactly use? Or any other suggestions? Thanks for inspiration.

Hello guys. I have problem with attaching EX3 to Flyer LE Steadycam. I don't know If I should use two holes in EX3 whose are pretty close to each other and if this is only way how to attach camcorder to sledge - is not that sou fragile? If you use another way of joing that together, please share your experiences. Thanks.
