Hello fellow Steadicam users and OPs. Before going on let me introduce myself. I am 20 years old, I am not a film grad nor am I going to college for film; Although I do know a little bit about camera work and film already by experience. I've been working for a wedding production company for about 5 years and Using the Steadicam Pilot for 4 years. I wanna start getting more into the film area of work but I was wondering where I should start. Should I start by buying a bigger Steadicam? What is a good place to start looking for jobs? What kind of things should I be expecting with what I have. Should I focus more about my reel first? Any tips or critiques are welcome and any contractors are too (I'll work for dirt cheap if needed, whatever gets me in) Sincerely a passionate Pilot User.

Hey guys, I've just sold my trusted Steadicam EFP package and got this left behind in my garage (the new owner will move to AB gold mount): - PAG Micromaster 9526 Ni-Cd fast charger - PAG mount with connector to charger for charging second battery (or using to mount the batteries to the sled) - 2 PAG LOC-ON POWER Ni-Cd 7Ah batteries (holding charge quite well) - 4 PAG LOC-ON POWER Ni-Cd 5Ah batteries (not holding charge) - 1 PAG LOC-ON POWER Ni-Cd 4Ah battery (not holding charge) - 1 PAG Paglight ML halogen lamp (no bulb) - 1 travel case for batteries and charger (there is not enough room to fit 1 PAG 4Ah battery and the halogen lamp) Not sure what to do with it ;) Anyone interested?

Hello, my dear steadicam gurus. I just graduated from film school, (I am 23 right now) and I decided to go serious about my carrier as a steadicam operator. I've made some mistakes along the way to start this business, such as buying CAME-TV steadicam as my first rig, and buy many 3rd party accessories to minimize my budget. I know many of you criticize that this rig will not be acceptable in professional field, and initially I disagreed. However more research I do and more gig offers I get, I realize I do need better equipments that last long and perform effectively. In a way, I learned my lesson in a hard way. Now, as you can tell from the fact that I try to minimize my budget to start my carrier, I don't have much to start with, and especially not 30k-50k. I was about to give up on pursuing this carrier until I bumped into rent-to-own program and leasing options. I was looking into GPI Pro rigs, because it offered rent-to-own program while offering solid service, and it was the same for Steady Rig although they only sell arm component. Then as I research more, I realize I can talk to credit union to get loans if I want to get gears from other companies. This option will let me go on a track to be in the business, but as I am young and unexperienced with financial world, I am very concerned if I will be eligible for loans, so I am asking advice from folks who were also in same path as I was, I want to hear from your perspectives how you guys handled the initial budgets and which would you guys recommend me between lease, loans, and rent-to-own programs. On a different question, I am very new to upgrading sled with different components, so I want to know what is absolute feature in sleds that I should consider if I am choosing my first rig? For an example, I realize both MK-V J Box center pole cable and GPI Pro HD center pole cable would not fit in any rigs that is less than 2' diameter. So I know now that if I want to upgrade electric components in future, I must get a sled that is larger than 2' diameter. That's one feature that I learned to consider, but I want to know if there is anything that is essential features in sleds if I am considering upgrading in future to minimize expenses in the future. Thank you teachers, and any criticism and advices are welcomed. -

Selling my trusty "Landau" style steadicam cart and cases. They have just come back from service at Georgia Case. All the TSA locks work perfectly, and all drawers slide with ease. Every case has a matching cover as well. The magliner features a vest hanger and a post for your docking bracket. Also included is my steadicam sled case. These cart and yellow cases were previously "loved" by Robert Starling before I purchased them. They make setup so much easier! I don't want to break up the cart and yellow cases, but I am willing to sell the blue steadicam sled case separately. The top tray is 37" in length. All the cases have slide out drawers with custom cut-outs for all your favorite AKS. Asking $2500, and buyer pays shipping. Located in Atlanta, GA metro area. I may be able to personally deliver to LA or San Francisco. Will not ship overseas. Thanks! Matt Lingerfelt Atlanta, GA

Hello all! So I have been on a couple of steadicam courses and up until now have been the owner of a Ronin and an M15, but finally investing in my first Steadicam. I have had experience using the Steadicam Zephyr and have a budget of around £10,000. I won't be putting any more weight on than about 23lb (weight of the Zephyr), but could I get something better for my money second hand? Yes I am based in the UK, so prices are in GBP. Thanks in advance! Chris

Hi guys, I made a dumb mistake today. I didn't carefully read the manual and I made the dumb mistake of rotating the guide ring too much to the point where it's too tight and now stuck. Is there any way to undo this without taking it apart or breaking it? Thank you! for reference, this is the guide for the steadicam merlin 2: http://www.tiffen.com/userimages2/Steadicam/LIT-812000_Merlin2_Manual.pdf

Hey everyone, so I'm looking to upgrade my vest to a GPI Pro vest, and I'm looking to sell my Ultra 2 vest and make this a quick exchange. I've personally owned the vest for four years now after I purchased it used. It has the normal wear and tear you would expect. The only real issue is the right shoulder buckle locking screw broke off so you would need to re-drill it and get another screw from Tiffen (hence the bongo tie). But that's nothing that effects the functionality of the vest. Also, the top of the shoulder pads have been shaved down a bit in an attempt to make it fit my shoulders better. If you're concerned at all concerned about it, and are in LA, you're more than welcome to try it on first. $3,300 OBO, buyer pays shipping.
