Premium Members Stefano Ben Posted January 9, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 8.000 USD For a complete Master Film (Sled Arm Vest accessories) it's an excelent price! Wooow!!! Just looking for a Master sled for sale in the forum and you will know what I mean! For a good condition system it's a Great Price, really! You can training yourself with a simply handheld camera with about 10kg of weight. For the video in/outputs all depends about your camera and monitor sled (green screen monitor) doesn't work in HD... so if you have an HD camera... first thing, change it or buy a downconverter. Really simple... connect the SD signal cable from camera to the SD BNC input and power on the sled and monitor... must works. For the A/V input, it's must be the same cable for connect the Canon 5D... driving to the first shop and ask for a simple 5D jack cable with Video and Audio R/L separated. Remember also to power on the camera! For the rest of all.... Take a workshop!!! Ther's so many things to know about flying a steadicam... Personally, I'll never stop learning... Fly Safe!

Premium Members Amando Crespo Posted January 11, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi firend. Take care with a switch in the front body of the sled (CAMERA/VTR). Turn it in to camera. This is a simple and usual mistake. Fly, fly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
