Good day! Just got my first sled, and i'm super happy with it! I do however have a bit of an odd problem (or maybe it isn't and i'm just a newbie ((most likely)) The guy i purchased it from has an older Canon C300, which i have used as a practice camera for a while. I wanted to put my own camera on the sled, but this is where my problems began. My camera is an A7IV, which i've weighed down with a v-mount battery and a practice cage. To get signal down to my monitor, i'm having to use a blackmagic micro 3G HDMI-SDI converter. Now if i connect directly to my monitor from the converter, the signal is fine nomatter the output resolution of the camera. However, when i try to go via the internal SDI in my sled, the signal will only work with 1080 interlaced, and even then, the signal is quite glitchy. The sled has three HD-SDI connectors, which to my knowledge should be able to output 1080 25P? I have tried to configure the blackmagic converter, but my choices are only Level A or Level B, none of which work. The sled is a Glidecam X-45 (it has been upgraded in several ways, but the internal wiring is still the same). The monitor is a 702 Touch. TLDR; My sleds internal SDI cables will only output a glitchy interlaced signal, despite being capable of progressive(?)

I am looking to have some customized parts made for my Steadicam Scout; specifically the monitor - I am wanting to add a monitor yoke to attach to my center post up higher.. I need to know the diameter of the lower stage post and the upper stage post.. these parts are so expensive

Selling some parts I don't use. Would make for a good starter or light weight sled. Send me an email if interested.
