Premium Members chris fawcett Posted January 24, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Chris, you're a talented operator and if you say your G50 is perfect I believe you 100%. Then you went on to say something like the Gx arms you've flown are much or noticeably improved. Sorry I don't have the exact quote so if that is out of context please correct me. Anyway, evaluations like this are very confusing especially for our Forum members where English is not their native language. Robert, First, thanks for the compliment. For clarity's sake, let's go back to what I actually said: I've tried both x arms. There is no doubt that you'll notice the difference immediately. Having said that, I've never had the 'bounce' problem with my stock G50. My statement was intended to convey nothing more than this, and it saddens me that so much has been read into it and my motives for saying it. All the best, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy with both of them. no bouncing? slow walk ok? Just curious, did you notice any abnormal bouncing on any of the arms you were using at the workshop?

Premium Members Matteo Quagliano Posted January 24, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well in 7 years you're supposed to operate good, I did notice the bounce first time I use it and I was 2 years operating. Probably your arms don't show it, sounds strange but good for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Matteo Quagliano Posted January 24, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm talking of a specific issue that people know about. Have a look at your reel near the end, 180 round around the guy. That's what I'm talking about and you were not going so slow either. I tried many arms (never a PRO) and never went to a workshop. I did have a 2 spring parallel arm before G50, a total crap but much more isolating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Matteo Quagliano Posted January 24, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 again when you approach the family at the wedding just before the cut there's a bobble. Bryan I'm talking of something really noticeable for maniacs, not in everyday work. But I want my work to be perfect, not an everyday work.

Premium Members chris fawcett Posted January 24, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Maqu, Some of of us like the G arms. Analyse my reel, question my motives, whatever, I will not budge. I like the G arms! Please respect my opinion as i respect yours.

Premium Members Matteo Quagliano Posted January 24, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Chris I have your opinions in great consideration as I have for everyone' else here. I have to put down a couple of concepts to make myself clear. 1) This is not a war against Tiffen, it's a push. I want to push them in being cool with their ops, we're the ones out there carrying their equipments and we payed good money for that, I think we deserve it. Since not all of us are feeling it, for sure not all of us will ask for the upgrades. 2) This situation comes out only after Jerry said the stiction issue was gone (in G50x generation) due to bearings upgrade available for G50 owners as well. When stiction/bobbling or whatever you call it is confirmed what would you do in my place? Ok nothing because you as Bryan don't feel the bounce. But I as many others do. 3) Bryan reference to a workshop was totally out of place. (sorry Bryan) 4) I'm not the one who can criticize your reel or anyone else'. I just do it to show what I'm talking about but anyone feel free to criticize mine. I'm open to critics, considering them a push. My reel speaks for me and for selling the arm when I will, what I'm talking about is not reselling neither the arm is not good. 5) I'm doing this for many out there not having the possibility of saying it. 6) I'm a bit frustrated on this bobbling/stiction issue. 7) last but not least I feel the brotherhood :) I did that points not for being assertive but just to put down concepts easily, I'm not native tongue, with friendship, maqu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members William Demeritt Posted January 24, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Matteo, I can see you're very passionate about this issue, as I'm sure other affected operators are. Have you spoken to Tiffen about what they can do, and at what cost, to upgrade your arm to the G-50X? I feel like a lot of this discussion will get back on track once somebody, anybody chimes in with what Tiffen is doing, rather than a tug-of-war over what they should do.

Premium Members Bryan Fowler Posted January 24, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 3) Bryan reference to a workshop was totally out of place. (sorry Bryan) Matteo: I apologize, I assumed you met Chris at a workshop. William: Well said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Matteo Quagliano Posted January 24, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Bryan, sorry again. No I have his past rig, we met in a beautiful way but never in person, this is not against him or Jerry. I love them. This is like power to the people. :) William, that's exactly what I'm expecting for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Matteo Quagliano Posted January 25, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Chris I talk to Jerry and you, that's it. Also I don't know who I have to talk with at Tiffen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
