Steadicam EFP Vest with Socket Block For Sale

[Andy Montejo]

For Sale is a used but well cared for Steadicam EFP Vest with the Socket Block for the Steadicam arm. While this vest was original equipment for the Steadicam EFP it is capable of handling any of the Big Rigs out there. The EFP Steadicam Vest was the lightest Professional Vest that was made by Cinema Products and Its light weight makes it great for summer or warm weather climates.

This vest Model #78-4040 SN #158 is in very good condition the Leather shows some wear but is solid. The fabric has no rips or tears. The pads still offer comfort. The velcro is probably the most worn item on this vest but still holds fine and has never been a problem. Also the quick escape system is all intact in in working order. For the most part this Steadicam Vest is un-modified and as Original as it gets. The only Mod done to this vest is in the center spar. The side rails that allow the vest size to adjust are rather thin and a weak point that eventually can fracture and I had these professionally modified to a thicker gauge by a machinist that specializes in custom steadicam work. So these are now rock solid and should never be a problem. Also the thumb screws that tighten down to hold the arm in place have been upgraded to something better than the originals. Pictures of this item are posted on and can be seen on Ebay.
