Hello everyone. im sorry for starting a new topic. I don’t want to create too much confusion but I couldn’t find anything on the forum regarding the question I have. i will be travelling soon to China and I am wondering if anyone has any experience regarding Rental Conpanies over there and what to expect ? if so, it would be highly appreciated as I really have no clue and I am struggling a lot in finding anything. I understand Steadicam tent in general to not come for dry hire and so this may already be the case of the issue I am facing. However I won’t be able to travel my rig Over there and also I am looking into hiring a more reliable and stronger rig. Anything really from Cine Live to Arri to Tiffen it would be great. Those are the ones I operated so far and the ones I know best, also I am not attach to a very experienced Producer so there is some struggle on that side and I am to gather opinions from out there. i heard there are companies hiring The D202d i never had any experience with this rig and obviously I will have the time to test it and prep if that would be the case but I was also wondering if any of you had any advice and opinions and experience regarding using this rig ? thankyou very much to everyone and always wishing the best of luck for your projects and passion!!

Hi, I will be shooting a dokumentary in China. Because of finanziall issues I will not be able to bring my own rig. The producer wants me to use an "glidecam x-20". I haven`t used this rig before, but it doesn`t look very professional to me. Especially the monitor "bracket" looks to be a problem,since I want to be able to switch quickly between high- and lowmode, and it does not seem to be possible to turn the Monitor quickly. Also the gimbal seems realy small, after normaly using a 1.8" gimbal. I would love to use a artemis EFP or a steadicam archer, but the total cameraweight will be about 5 kg, so a small rig would also do. I do not have any experience with lightweight rigs. Any suggestions what rig I should ask for, and where we could order it? We will be shooting near Bejing. , Thanks, Alex
