Premium Members Remi Tournois / SOC Posted July 24, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Does anyone know anything about the Jerry Hill power base ? I've never seen on a rig and don't believe Jerry Hill keeps making it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi Remi, if you are talking about the sled that Jerry made about 10 years ago, Alec Jarnagan had one for a while and Peter Vietro in NY still uses one. Uses 2 ab batts with a lot of available fore/aft adjustment. I hear Jim Bartel did the wiring so it's pretty solid I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering whether or not this makes for a potentially long sled? Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes for a shorter sled since your battery mass is as far from the camera mass as it can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes for a shorter sled since your battery mass is as far from the camera mass as it can get Ah physics at its best. That makes sense, Thanks Eric. As I've personally never seen the sled other than on picture i wasn't sure of the end result. Cause it looks like the top part of the base is pretty thick so i was wondering how this would play out. Any idea how well made that base is ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
