I bought this Zephyr from another steadicam forum member. It has worked out great. A custom monitor yoke and the grip were added. Both are removable. The OE tiffen monitor mount hardware is included. I never had any issues with the arm, sled, or vest while operating. All components in the kit are in great working condition. No missing parts. Items have typical signs of use. Mainly seen on the vest and a few nicks on the outside of the arm. It has been carefully looked after by myself as it was by the original owner. It is time to make some space and find this system a new home. I am asking $5000.00 on the complete system: (sled, arm, vest, one dovetail, docking bracket, removable weights, low mode bracket, and thermodyne case) These system extensions are available to add individually when purchasing the zephyr. PM interest about which pieces and I will get you a total price. (4) steadicube V-mount batteries(all batteries charge fully) with Dual charger Second V-mount battery hanger Extra Zephyr Dovetail Vehicle mount w/Zephyr socket block Once the kit sells I will relist the remaining items. Pricing is reflective for a quick sale. The condition is really stellar considering the price.

I've upgraded to an M1 system, so I'm selling my lovingly used Steadicam Zephyr. Everything is in good condition: arm, vest and sled all work great. Only cosmetic issues, i.e. surface scratches,etc. I've flown a lot of builds on this sled, and never had any issues (only operator errors). - 9 lb to 23 lb Payload - 28" Two-Stage Adjustable Iso-Elastic Arm - Sled with Tool-Free Three-Axis Gimbal - Dual-Axis Vernier Adjustable Stage - Telescoping Carbon Fiber Center Post - 7" HD 1000 cd/m² LCD Monitor - Standard Vest - V-Mount Battery Plate - Docking Bracket and Dovetail Plate - HD BNC and 3-Pin LEMO Connectors - Thermodyne Hard Case I'm also including two IDX Endure 7s Batteries (65wh), an IDX dual v-mount charger, and the Steadimate, which will allow you to fly movi or DJI 3-axis gimbals on the arm and vest for extra stabilization. I'm asking $6500 for everything. I will estimate shipping upon request, or if you're close enough I'll deliver it myself. Additionally, I'm willing to meet you if you want to pick it up from my location. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi-ho, everyone. Anyone know if there's anything particularly special about the official Tiffen 2nd Battery Plate for Zephyr besides the 12V/24V mode switch? I have some spare parts lying around: - AB plate with D-Tap - Threaded cheeseplate - D-Tap to 3-pin LEMO cable And I was thinking if I simply attach an AB plate to the cheese plate to the bottom of the sled (where the second battery plate would also attach) and plug from D-Tap to 3-pin LEMO IN on the sled base to,swill that give me the equivalent of 24V mode or 12V mode?

Asking $7700. Bought new in 2016, professionally maintained, great shape. This zephyr has many extras so have a close look.

Hello, although I´ve been working very successfully with my Glidecam HD2000 (FS700+7Q), I´ve really big problems starting with my Alexa on my new Zephyr rig. Actual state: The down rigged Alexa Classic is about 16-17lbs (7-9kg). I use 2 V-Mounts for sled weights with the optional small dove tail, static and dynamic balance is very well, drop time about 2 sec. The zephyr arm was changed to the new A30 from Tiffen while purchase, the vest fits perfectly, no shoulder space here. Unfortunately there are no Steadicam workshops in middle europe, so I haven't visited one. I already ordered the operators handbook, I watched all YT tutorials (Ted Churchill is a god!) out there and I read lots of topics in here. I know, yes, there is lot of practice needed and can´t be learned in weeks, but with my huge experience with the Glidecam, the basic sled balancing is not the point. I am an absolutely newbie working with an vest+arm! My problem is now: The shots are not floating, nearly every step is visible, by walking normally, missionary. No vibrations here, the post is as short as possible for both balancing types successfully done. I use the arm goofy now, but I tried it regular as well with no improvement in the result. So, some basic questions concerning the arm are still open, maybe one of you can help me here fixing my problem: 1) I know that the gimbal hand should touch the post very slightly, so I do. (like i did on the Glidecam) But what about the other hand? Should it touch the gimbal handle also just slightly or is it better to hold it more stronger, to avoid transferring steps to the sled? 2) All the basic sled stabilization should be done by my body. So if I walked down a line (missionary), touching the gimbal+handle with my hands is not necessary - is that right? The hands are just for directing and lifting the sled, but only if needed? 3) The Zephyr operation manual tells me to setup the arms about 5-10° up horizontal. But what about the weight with e.g. Alexa? Would it be better if I set the arm down for less stiffness with the heavy Alexa? What is the best arm setup for slow following/walking shots? 4) The Zephyr operation manual tells me to set the side crews on the arm socket differently on the top and bottom. If I just turned the bottom screw all the way in and leave the upper screw a bit out, is the arm&sled&cam still secure? What about the rollers, how should they be set for using an Alexa/16lbs? All in or out? (Maybe there is an experienced operator, who can tell me this in german, the operation manual is really written dizzily in this point...) and: 5) If somebody knows: Is there a hot swap available with the Alexa by using the small dove tail (V-Mount)? If yes, how to plug?? What is the 1/2 switch for? Thanks a lot for any help, I´d really appreciate. I don´t know any operator (with a similar rig) in my area for asking directly. I swear I practise every free minute, but these points above really make me mad... Cheers, Paul Austria

The system is V-Mount and comes with everything that is needed. This kit includes a 7" TV Logic 074w monitor which I used as my main HD monitor on the rig. The Steadicam SD monitor was originally sold with the Zephyr and it served as a backup monitor. Both monitors are included with the package.

Hello fellow Steadipeople! I once saw that Chris Fawcett has a longer plate for his Archer2 and asked him where he got it. Turns out he had it made by a local machinist. Then I saw that Peter Abrahm made the "Zalex Long Plate" and was amazed to find what I need. Unfortunately it's not meant for my dwarf top stage. (also an Archer2) Even though there is a way to use it on my stage I wanted a solution that really fits. So I decided to remember my classes on mechanical design and do one myself. Now my questions to you are: Does anybody else want something like this? Do you have suggestions or improvements to the original design? Status right now: Basic design complete. (Safety pins still missing) Lenght 42cm/16.5in Same hole pattern as the standard plate. (This plate should also fit Zephyr/Clipper/Aero?) https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesteadicamgroup/permalink/10154392148416629/

I'm looking to purchase my first rig and was looking at the zephyr, is anyone selling? PM me price and details of the rig. Thank you!

Hello, I am looking to purchase a used Steadicam Zephyr kit with v-mount and an HD monitor if anybody has one going. Looking to purchase from April ideally in the UK for collection but will consider shipping from the EU. Prices seam to be very varied looking at previous ones for sale so let me know what you might be looking for. I am also looking for 2nd battery hanger, f-bracket, small c-stand, and a gzoom with canon cables. Thanks Chris

Hi, I sell my first rig when I started. It's a very good one for the small configurations. the list of the package : - telescopic sled (upgrading HD) - arm with 6 canisters (5 to 13 Kg) - back mount vest - monitor - camera cables - tools - docking bracket + stand - flight case It's in very good condition and was never in rental. Maybe it's possible to add two V-lock batteries + charger in the package Price: € 3.500 + Tax + Shipping (will sell worldwide, but Europe is easier of course as this equipment is based in France - Paris). Please let me know if you need more informations and/or photos and/or details. here is my contact : hello@staedup.fr best regards N.

Hello All, I have been having an issue with my Steadicam Zephyr. I have recently upgraded my monitor to a Shogun Flame and sometimes when im in a RF intense area (near audio antenna's) my Shogun seems to drop the video signal and when i leave the area, the video comes back. I did modify the original Hirose cable that came with the Zephyr from the 4 pin xlr to a barrel plug so i could power through the same connection.. The SDI cable on that Hirose cable is pretty thin and i believe that it could be that cable that is being affected by interference. Im also suspecting that that maybe its the SDI cabling throughout the rig itself. if anyone has any information on what the issue could be i would greatly appreciate it! Heres the cable that i'm talking about. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/875135-REG/steadicam_807_7510_02_monitor_cable_for_7.html

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, I'm about to buy a used Zephyr without the monitor. I'm thinking of using a smallHD 702 for its brightness. Will it be able to mount securely and no wobble will happen?

I kept this rig as a backup for my big rig but I've never needed it, so it's time to give it a good home. It's in great condition and I'm happy to provide more photos. I still use the Zephyr vest with my current sled, but I'm willing to part with it if the buyer doesn't mind some wear and tear. Zephyr HD Kit (V-Mount; supports 26lbs): Rolling Hard Case Zephyr Sled with HD Monitor Dovetail Plate Zephyr Arm Slip Cover for Arm Docking Bracket Weights Operating Manual Second Battery Mount Low Mode "F" Bracket Price: $6,000 + shipping Zephyr Vest price: $500 Please feel free to contact me with any questions or any requests for additional accessories, or if you're in Atlanta come check it out!

I currently have a working sled from CAME-TV. I've been wanting to upgrade to the full Zephyr but just can't afford the entire rig so I'm thinking of just buying the arm and vest for now and upgrade in the future. Offers and advice are welcome!
