Steadicam complete package - NEW

[Kyle Young]

Complete customized NEW steadicam package with all accessories and everything needed to walk onto a set and start operating.

 

Here are some photos of my EFP HD READY steadicam I have ready to sell now.

Total price for complete package is $22,500 now as an introductory price, price will go up this Summer.

 

EFP HD READY PACKAGE INFO:

 

The package is good because it includes everything you need to start operating.

 

The sled is 12/24 volt capable, uses the same camera power connector as Tiffen Steadicams in Burbank so you can just buy their camera cables when needed or have them made by an independent with the schematics I include. It is all new materials except the 3A gimbal which I have tested and rebuilt with new bearings. It has a dual battery mount for IDX batteries but I have an Anton Bauer version if you'd prefer that. Includes four IDX E10 batteries and a dual charger. Includes anvil style cases that everything fits in except the stand.

 

INCLUDED IN PACKAGE FOR $22,500:

mathews c-stand

sandbag

Allen wrenches

screwdriver

2 sets of mounting screws

short BNC cable

2x very short BNC cables for downconverter

Red Byte Downconverter

7" LCD NTSC/PAL monitor

LCD power/video cable

PRO wrap grip

docking bracket

camera dovetail plate

upper and lower junction boxes

4x IDX 3-!0 batteries and dual charger

Anvil sled case with custom cut foam

Anvil vest case

Partial leather vest kinda like a cross between an EFP vest and a Master Series vest with steel socket block.

New Luna arm with cloth bag

 

Here is a picture of a Luna arm. If you are not familiar with them, they are made by Robert Luna who used to work for Cinema Products( the original Steadicam manufacturer), they closed their doors in 2000. I worked for them 1 year and an internship before that. Robert knows more about arms than anyone and when he lost his job he decided to manufacture the 3A/EFP arm but added upgrades where he always thought they should be and also used his own version of the springs that allow you to have a weight range of 15-70 pounds. All the used efp and 3a arms have 5 different springs that are not easily changed by the consumer so whatever spring you buy with an old arm you are stuck with. You can change springs but I would never attempt it myself. His arm sells for $10,000 complete. I included it in my packages. The only arm that can do the same weight range are the Silver Spring arm by Steadyrig in Australia that sells for I think $13,000 and the Tiffen Steadicam g-70 arm that sells for I think $17,000.

 

I do have one rig ready to go so I would just have to check with Robert Luna when he will have a Luna arm ready. If he does not have one in stock it is usually only a week or two until he builds his next batch.

 

If this is your first rig or you are just concerned about keeping costs low I would consider this package. Buying a used EFP that needs things fixed here or there, rewired for 24 volt, replacing the gimbal for a heavier one, having to rent an arm for very light cameras or very heavy ones can end up costing more than what I'm selling my packages for.

My current package is $22,500 plus shipping, it had been selling for $25,000 but with this economy I decided to delete all the camera cables as many customers opted not to get them anyway. Most customers tell me they are only needing 2 cables anyway, the RED cable and the general 12 volt XLR cable typical of the Betacam.

 

The package does come with the 6-day workshop manual and I have taught small groups and one on one classes.
