I’m selling my Tiffen Steadicam Shadow-V (model before the M1/M2 series) with tilting top stage, in excellent working order. I’ve had it since 2022 and it has been an excellent sled for a wide range of work up to and including commercial and film work with heavy cameras such as the ArricamI LT. The sled has always been serviced at Optical Support in London, who were previous owners of the sled (rental). Since owning it I’ve had a gimbal bearing replaced (tilt) and an HD SDI connector replaced, but apart from that it’s been in top working order. Volt could be added quite easily by Tiffen or Optical Support for example, but I've used Betz Wave II and been happy with the performance in that configuration. Comes with: Original Steadicam Thermodyne rolling case. Steadicam universal mounting plate. Atomos Shogun-7 4k monitor with Tiffen Universal monitor mount with dummy V-lock battery for weight distribution options. Cinelevel digital level system with cables. 2 x Anton Bauer Dionic HCX high-output, 120wh 14.4v gold-mount batteriesm (4 more available with 4-way charge and case at extra cost if needed) Jerry Hill docking bracket with two collars (low, high) fitted to sled. Lots of cables and extras available for sale if required to complete the kit. London (north/central) UK-based for collection. £8295 (+ VAT if UK-based). Open to discussions. Will ship internationally; however buyer will be responsible for costs and duties, etc.

Steadicam 3A Arm: Gold Springs What can you say? It’s bullet proof! Got me through many years of my Steadicam career and has more recently served as a backup. But it’s time to let it move on and help someone else cut their teeth! Arm is in excellent condition - recently serviced, cleaned and lubricated. I’m including a Fikenca on set bag and a rigid flight case as well. Located: 1 hour north of Toronto, ON Canada $2,800 CDN Priced in Canadian Dollars. Willing to ship world wide at buyers expense.

Hello everyone, I am selling my second kit, which currently serves as my backup rig. This is the exact trusted rig I started my Steadicam journey with some years ago, and it has been meticulously cared for ever since. I would honestly love to keep this as my backup system, but my current volume of Steadicam work doesn't really justify keeping such a rig —especially one equipped with a Volt— sitting in a closet. It deserves to be out in the field. I truly hope it goes into good hands and lives many more adventures on set. This is also a chance to get a rig equipped with the original OG Volt. While, as many will know, it is discontinued, full service and technical support are still active. OVERVIEW & CONDITION: Everything is in truly excellent condition. The gear has only been used in studios, indoor controlled environments, or at home for training—never outdoors. Everything has been handled, transported, and maintained with the utmost care. Top and bottom stages are rock-solid and completely vibration-free. The Volt works flawlessly, the gimbal is incredibly smooth, and the rig balances perfectly (the 180° test is spot-on using the Smartsystem counterweight and a washer). To demonstrate the pristine condition of the gimbal, a spin test starting from a 5-second complete revolution duration takes 2 minutes and 38 seconds to come to a complete stop, which is high tier performance.

Hello everyone, Does anyone familiar with the Ultra series have an idea about this issue i'm facing here ? WhatsApp Video 2025-03-09 at 21.19.12.mp4 For the story, I just bought an Ultra 1 Steadicam, and it was working perfectly until this morning, the sled randomly started to tilt around 45 degrees only when the camera was facing the stand, or facing me in front of the stand. When the rig is perpendicular to the stand, it behaves just fine, facing left or right, it doesn't matter. I didn't do anything special with it, it was working fine during my tests with the seller, I tested it with very low drop times, various cameras, and no problem. I brought it home and again, no issue during two days, i used it, had fun, and one day this happened... I'm having guesses but I wonder which one is the more likely to be true, so I'd like to be enlighten a little bit. - First the tilt head is doing a clicking sound when toutching it, even if it is correctly locked btw. There is a 1mm play when I grab it an move it side to side. I don't know if it's a normal play when unloaded, I'll check tomorrow if the sound and play are still there when loaded, but it doesn't seems very right to me. I have tried to tighten 4 screws under the head, but they seems to be a fine tuning of the head flatness, is that right ? so i'll have to undo that WhatsApp Video 2025-03-09 at 21.19.27.mp4 - Next, the handle, which seems to be in three parts is also clicking, but not like a bearing click, more like its not behaving well when loaded, and needs to be re tighten. Since my problem is only occuring when the rig is facing the handle, or the other way around, maybe it could be that? I can see the space at the junction between the yoke and the handle is larger on the upper side when loaded. and i see a play when i move it around, even unloaded. WhatsApp Video 2025-03-09 at 21.19.15.mp4 -And last, but not least, maybe the gimbal needs to be centered ? It seems strange to me, because it was absolutely fine the same morning, but I'm new to gimbals so... Also this part doesn't make any strange sound, there is a very very small amount of play when I try to move it around, same as when I bought it. WhatsApp Video 2025-03-09 at 21.19.23.mp4 I've seen videos on how to dismantle a modern gimebal but not an ultra 1. Don't hesitate to ask me for details, i really want to solve this issue, but I don't want to make it worse If a repair manual exists i'd really like to have a pdf I still hope this could be an easy fix, if not I'll bring it to a shop but I'd rather save some money this month ! Many thanks in advance Léo Rodriguez

Hi Everybody I am selling my freshly serviced G70X. The arm was purchased last year and completely checked by Tiffen in August of this year so its in perfect technical shape and works like a charm. There are a few small inperfections here and there from normal use but nothing major. Included are the softbag and the raincover. Asking 10.500€ or best offer. The arm is located in Germany, but can ship worldwide at buyers expense. If you have any questions just send me a DM or an email to severin@steadisev.de

Selling my Zephyr kit (V /Mount) Bought new from Tiffen and is less than a year old. I have had it on 2 jobs, but mostly just training. Like new condition. If you are looking for a Zephyr specifically then you know what you are looking at, this is a virtually new kit that includes an extra low mode bracket and a 10kg practise weight cage that breaks down into 2 x 5kg plates. Kit includes: Vest, arm, full rig, monitor, weights, plate, dock, cables, low mode bracket and practise cage/weight plates all in a purpose built flight case If you need more info about the Zephyr: It is a great rig for smaller set ups, it can take up to 10kg - so eg. an Alexa 35 or Alexa mini LF with basic build and super speed primes with room to spare. This makes it a perfect set up for entering the field, or as a second rig for flying smaller builds If you are using with lighter rigs such as a RED or FX6 etc I use half of the weight cage to bump up the weight (5kg) as I find it flies best at the upper end of the weight scale. My set up was to fix a quick release plate to the weight plate and add a low mode monitor to the front, I could then take the camera rig on and off with minimum adjustments in case of going to sticks or handheld. NOTE: low mode monitor and rods in pics not included, nor is the v mount battery. This is also a perfect rig for practise - If you have done a course, or just want to train yourself in steadicam, this is a perfect rig to get started, it is a really good price point and perfect for entry level jobs, often people start with this before upgrading to a larger rig a few years down the line. I have mostly used it for training, but during the course of this year my career has gone a different direction. So looking to move it on. I am based in London. Anyone local is free to come and check out the kit. I am sure there will be enough interest in the UK, but if you are desperate to ship it abroad you will be responsible for the logistics and cost of shipping. All in kit is GBP 6500 email liam@liamarthur.com Thanks. L
