David A. Wolf Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I get to fly that pig of a rig on Superbowl Saturday in Vegas for UFC next month. Dreading it already, eventhough they have whittled off about 20 pounds since I flew it last year. It didn't balance then and barely balances now. I had an advance prep day with it a few weeks ago and the system weighed in at 67 pounds before I mounted it on my Steadicam and close to 100 pounds total with my rig, arm and vest. I was thinking of bringing a piece of straw to tape to the top camera, just to see what happens. Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members JobScholtze Posted March 26, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 This treath has been very helpfull. But i really hope i dont do 3d that much again. Most DP and director are asking things there used to, wich in 3d could be very hard. I did 2 days in the mud, also running ( wich i dont have footage from to bad. ) I had to run backwards in front of a actrice who had to run true the mud. I never wish to do that again. Don juan was impossible with this shot. Anyway, i hope the weight gets down another 50% before we have to do that again ;-) J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members JobScholtze Posted March 26, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Transmitting crap, stereographic bullshit and some more cable crap. A battery to get some sort of counter balance, and another 50 pounds of crap like motors, scorpio stuff. It really felt like a fridge on my arm. 4 Black springs almost at the end. Its no joy for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Rob Vuona SOC Posted March 26, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Another week of 3-D Steadicam gone by, I still have a love hate relationship with 3-D and still leaning towards the hate part. This time I had a prep day figured out how to make the rig smaller and lighter and was able to make a small cable loom compared to the nightmare I had last time, all was great until a couple of my tiny BNC's failed and then at the last minute I had to revert back to the cable loom provided. I managed to strip it down but it still wasn't optimal. Next time I have another solution, a 6ft jumper cable with a junction box that mounts on the back of my vest.
