Hello people!! I wan to try an electronic monitor horizon for the AR, but I only know 3 models, and I don't know which one is better. I know those ones: - https://www.smartsystem.com/product/smartcam-horizon-lite/ - https://www.smartsystem.com/product/smartcam-horizon/ - https://www.toughgaff.com/product-page/rock-a-bye-baby So, does anyone know any other more? Can you tell me which one are you using and why do you like it? Thanks so much in advance!! ^^ Best regards.

Hello! I’m selling my brand new horizon monitor system from Smartsystem. This thing keeps your monitor always in the same position even if you rotate the camera. Great for trinity or ronity ops. Or steadi ops who do a lot of dutching. It came with my Matrix Package and I just don’t find myself using it, and really could use the money right now. Truly brand new out of the case. Put it on twice to practice. Comes with all you see in the pics - weights, brackets, case + power cables that I forgot to take pics of. New price is $1600 $1100 and it’s yours I’d prefer cash & local pickup in LA, but I’m willing to ship for the cost of shipping.

Hi folks. Entertaining the possibility of getting a wave system. I asked the company if any new versions were in the works and they replied no. Although an expensive bit of gear to just have in a case for the occasional beach and windy situation. I'm thinking it will also be great in hardmount camera car work. If you got one and are looking to part with it, let me know. US preferred. Direct Message me or Text. Thanks. Ozzie

So I looked into the AR and Omega Rev rig, and honestly, it's too much $$$ for me and my needs. I already have a Phantom V from Tiffen Steadicam, and I love it... just need a stabilzer to go from low mode to missionary and keep the camera level the entire time. Here's my question... are there any other optons and/or "poor man's" versions of the Omega Revolution (or Alien Revolution) out there...NOT the system, but just the horizon/camera stabilizer part? Non motorized, no flashy computers. I mean even 2 rings a foot in diameter, a cheeseplate to slap a camera on like the Alexa, and some skateboard wheels to keep it all horizontally stable? After seeing the AR rig being used in the Teenage Dream music video, I sorta wanted one. When I saw the price tag, I was like, "uhm, NO!" Yes, I'm sort of a newbie to all this... only operating my Phantom for 1.5 years. I'm a fast learner... my recent steadi work... Yes, I live in Los Angeles, the dslr capital of crappy inventions. NO, I don't want to spend $29,000 for an Omega Revolution that won't even fit on my Phantom V. NO, I don't want to buy an entirely new arm, post, stage, etc. like the Nexus. YES, I'll keep an extra foot free loop of bnc cable to go from camera to my Phantom stage, and use right angle bnc elbow connectors so I don't go kinking a cable or wire, or breaking a bnc cable connector on the camera or on my Phantom stage. Can someone help shed some light on this? I tried contacting John Moyer from 2 Fast 2 Furious about what he called "gyros" at 1:10 in this video... http://www.productionhub.com/video/view.aspx?item=11037 Not sure if that's the same thing as what I'm looking for (maybe John was just in Low mode the whole time). But in essence, what I want is something that looks like the Omega Revolution, non motorized, non hokus pokus... JUST something to level out the camera with gravity, and go from low mode to missionary having the camera level the entire time. Anyone have experience? Serious suggestions? Advice?
