I tried the EX1 on my pilot a few month ago. The arm supports it. I even flew an EX3 for a short film. But this one is the limit to it:)

Hello !

Thank you very much Jess for the advice. This misadventure is turning in my head since it happened cause it seems me so sad that I trained so evenly for months, worked my physical shape, operated in 3 short movies to prepare the first professional day and produced finaly a so bad plan :) And was puzzIed cause I know I can produce something clean enough when conditions are as simple as they were (which is the reason I wqs not particulary stressed). Excepted I never trained to walk back with my assistant. I will know now what is the next thing to practise:) Just hope next time will be less surprising:)

Hi all ! I would like some advice about the usual behavior of an assistant during a backward walk. I made my first paid work a few day ago. We were two steadicamers preceeding two people during an ITW, short focal, easy... (even if i hadn't install bubble due to last minute exchange of monitor) The result when I saw it was pretty horrible: headroom, stability, frame, horizon, all was ugly as if I never hold a steadicam before. I'm even more unforgivable than the sled was heavy, with digbeta, another monitor etc.... The feeling when I was alone, reharsing, was very steady yet. BUT: i worked with my steadicam training companion as the assistant (which he never did before) , and he hold me so firmly (almost want-to-operate-instead-of-me-feeling) than I almost falled back or pushed on him during the real shot. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING during a one-shot take of a big business Leader. So, given I never worked with someone holding me before, is it normal to be gripped so firmly than I could'nt move freely when someone is supposed to guide your way back? When I talked about this to my assistant, he told me he did so to avoid me touching people around (who were numerous, given the space was open to press people). How do you manage this ? Establish a code like touching the operator the side he must go or so ? Thank you:)

likes you were here above all to impress the client, don't you think so ? :) The shot, as you present it, was not supposed to succeed, IMO. I am sorry for you, you were not lucky for your first job, mine was like yours but it is surely the faith of us newbies: we are as nice as veterans in our vests but cheaper and more patient (ignorant) with low low low-end productions:)

I like it very much too: it full of happiness, it's creative and clean though. How old are you please ?

I really like it : the operating seems good to me, I like the black and white option. What a pity we can see so much of rolling shutter in the fast pans... It's not your fault though ! And models are really convincing. Where do you live ? Would be happy to visit you and be presented:)

Gooood morning everybody !! I own a pilot for six month and haven't managed to succeed in running or whip-panning in low mode The thin carbon fiber column is shakink when stopped fastly (even when not-so fastly !!) or vibrate as i walk fastly when it is deployed to its longest setting. Have my rig got an issue or is it (as i think for sure) a general issue with pilot ? I have to say that i use counterweight plates on the sides of my light XM2 camera. I put a link of a vidéo which is illustrating my issue at the end (walking fastly back in lowmode). Thank you for advance ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRtOI45mU88
