I'm looking for complete Zephyr HD Steadicam kit. Im also interested in other Steadicams, as long they can carry as much weight as Zephyr or more (like Archer etc. but have to set in same price range as used Zephyr). I live in Finland, and i hope your offer includes shipping. Sami Harjunen

My first post! (and yes, one of those whichstedicamforme topics)! Background: I'm looking forward to start serious steadicam-operate training, and lack of possibilities of joining to different workshops, im planning to get used steadicam and start training at my school with help of teachers and steadicam handbook and DVD. I have possibilities to shoot with schools Red One so I think I'm going to need steadicam which can fly such a thing. So, heres the question: Is Steadicam Zephyr good choice for Steadi-newbie like me? Is it enough to fly Red One? I have watched some youtube clips where operators fly One with zephyr. Thanks for any advices and tips! -Sami

is there such a device where you can continue to keep your Rig powered when docked for an extended period of time, during lunch hour, coffee breaks, etc. so I could dock and plug my rig into a standard 12VDC power supply, and walk away for a bit without losing sync to my wireless transmitter, or not having to powering down the camera, or pull the battery out, etc. especially for single battery rigs... (i presume with the big rigs you can easily hot swap batteries since they use more than 1 battery.)

I've recently sold off my own Zephyr in order to upgrade to a larger rig... and now I'm finding that I miss it. I may have a DSLR shoot coming up this week traveling to Ohio (by car, ugh) that would be better suited on the Zephyr and was curious if there were any Brooklyn based operators who have a rig they may be interested in renting out from time to time. This shoot is not yet confirmed, but I know there will be stuff in the future that involves traveling where the lighterweight 'everything is in one case' Zephyr fits the bill for traveling, etc... Feel free to post here, because who knows, others may be interested in the list of available rigs, but also feel free to email me with 'Zephyr Rental' in the subject. - KWullschleger(at)gmail.com Thanks!

I wanted to use a Teradek bolt for wireless video (which has a 2 pin lemo connector) and power it off my zephyr's 3 pin lemo connector. Is there such thing as a 2 pin to 3 pin lemo cable or adapter? I know i can make the cable myself but I would prefer to just purchase it. I also understand that the 3 pins are: ground, 12v, 24v. If I can't find a cable ill make it but is the top pin the ground? Does anyone know of someone in New York that could make the cable for me? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Ryan

Hello everyone, I've been looking for a pretty good rig out there to start off with and I've been looking toward the Zephyr. It seems to be a pretty good solid rig to start with. If anyone is selling one I'd be interesting in hearing more from others. Feel free to respond here or my email thanks a lot. -Matthew Perez mperez135@hotmail.com
