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

Hi All, I’m selling my reliable and sturdy Tiffen Steadicam Flyer LE. It is an excellent starter rig for anyone wanting to get into Steadicam and learn the basics and it is capable of taking some decent camera payloads (approx 8,5kg / 20 lbs). Included in the package is: - Flyer Sled

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

Hello! I am looking to sell my Tiffen Ultra which I purchased in 2017. It’s a complete and functional kit, ready-to-use. Because I am moving country, I can sadly not take it with me so I am not only selling the Steadicam but also offer any new owner their pickings of any of my gear that I used when operating free-of-charge. I bought this Steadicam in 2017 and believe I am the 3rd owner. It served me very well and has been regularly serviced. In my experience the Tiffen Ultra allowed me to fly any camera I was handed, anything from an ARRI Mini up to 35-milimeter Film cameras such as the ARRI Arricam ST as well as a Moviecam Compact. The rig was made for heavier cameras, however with some weighted plates the previous owner had custom made, you can bring the newer digital cameras up to a very comfortable operating weight. Furthermore, this Ultra has been modified with an HD line as well as comes with a Blackmagic Converter all already pre-wired so you can run the newer Cameras feed down to the rigs monitor. This kit is great for anyone looking to upgrade into a commercially useable rig without having the budget for a brand new one. It was my first “proper” rig and served me very well, allowing me to operate with all cameras that were given to me at an affordable price by giving away only a few creature comforts in comparison to a brand-new rig. While a little older, it still comes with quite a few nice features. The post is carbon-fibre and it has a motorised tilt-stage. It is tool-free and can take a max payload of 22kg (according to the manual). The rig is currently in Birmingham, UK to view. I am open to discuss shipping if needed. £ 15000.- OBO. If you have any questions, I am happy to answer. KIT INCLUDES: 1x Tiffen ULTRA Sled 1x Tiffen ULTRA CRT Monitor 1x Tiffen ULTRA Arm 1x Tiffen ULTRA Vest ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Addition: 1x Blackmagic SDI to Analog 4k (Including SDI cabling between monitor, converter, and sled) 1x Custom HD Line from top of sled to bottom (wired inside of the sled) 1x Bubble-Level attached to back of the bottom sled part. 1x Tiffen ULTRA Docking Bracket 1x C-Stand 1x American Stand with large tyres (much more useful than a C-Stand. I have rolled this around in the mud and it works fine). 1x Sandbag for your stand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXTRAS: 1x V-LOCK Battery 4-way Charger 4x V-LOCK Batteries (I have 6 additional batteries that need re-celling which you can have for free if you want). 1x Mitchell Mount (used to attach Steadicam arm to back of vehicles). 1x bag of various support rods. 1x bag of back-up BNC Connector wires 1x Bronze Weighted Plate (Heavy) 1x Iron Weighted Plate (Small) 1x Windbreaker for operating. (Foldable) X various tools and bits and bobs you might need to operate. (You make take or leave what you like). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSPORT: 1x Flight case for Vest and Arm 1x Flight case for Sled 1x Flight case for Batteries 1x Flight case for Mitchell Mount 1x Soft bag for Vest and Docking Bracket 1x Soft bag for Arm 1x Custom Hardcase (originally a rifle case) for the arm. (I made this because I didn’t trust the soft bag by itself and the large flight case for the arm and vest together is a bit large for every-day jobs.)
