Premium Members jay kilroy Posted May 6, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I have turned to the masses. Anyone have any pictures of any atv setups to mount a steadicam to. I am helping a friend design his new atv for some different mounts. I was hoping to get any feedback from some operators who either have an atv or used one. You know, any info on what you liked, didn't like, any links to pictures of some or email addresses of someone who would share the knowledge. Thanks Guys!

Premium Members Brad Grimmett Posted May 6, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Here's a site with a few pictures of a friend of mine's ATV. I've never hardmounted steadicam off of it (only done handheld) but it's been designed so that you can mount just about anywhere. I'm sure there are many other ATV's like it around. http://www.extremestunt.com/equip.html Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Stephen Murphy Posted May 6, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 If you do a search on the Steadicenter.com site you'll find dozens of different Atv/Quad rigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members WillArnot Posted May 7, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 You can also check out: www.actionatv.com That is yours truly on the Brooklyn Bridge, Pre Ultimate. Kerry did two nice things on his Quad. He stripped the stock racks off, and replaced it with very rigid cheeseplate to facilitate a multitude of mounting options. The bucket seat you see clearly in one picture is actually way better than I thought it would be. Although you are almost always leaning forward, away from the seat back, the double shoulder straps and the bucket seat hug your hips nicely and keep you firmly in place.

It runs up to 45km p/hour. Automatic transmission, etc. I can sit on the back, and easily hardmount the steadicam. I asked my wife to sell here car and use this for the shoppings, guess what, she sayd no :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just starting to pull in some bigger jobs at the moment, with bigger jobs come bigger cameras and my little flyer isn't up to weight. Hows the V25 going, would it fly well with a varicam ? Do you think they'd let me trade :ph34r: Has anybody gone down the budget route with atv's/quads ? Would be very interested to find out if i could get setup with a workable solution for about £2000. Is it possible to soft mount on the back of a quad or is hard mount essential ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is around 2 years old. But still in new condition though. I used it twice, both with my Gold on it. Did not use it with the v25 yet. The V25 holds around 12.5 / 13 kg. So i think it will.
