You should try giving Curt Schaller a call to test out the Satchler DV PRO MD sled.

Its a great lightweight rig and fully affordable.

Hi Joel; "affordable" depends on things... ;-) That would be way beyond my budget - maybe s.o. wants to upgrade to a bigger artemis and sell..?

I tried two smaller systems at Photokina fair in Cologne and the Pilot at the Tiffen booth worked great, though it's not optically appealing. But I was really impressed. Great operator there, too.

Another taiwanese system in comparison looked impressive, did not work at all isoelastic...

 

What other options are there...

Basson Lucy? Does it work for anybody?

MovCam/Wondlan/Other chinese/indian stuff: I've not seen so much good footage yet.

 

All I know is that I tried a Pilot (with 5DMKII and some weights on it) and it felt fantastic. Just like waltzing.

 

*Sigh* Newbee stuff... you all must have been through posts like this a hundred times. ;-)

 

Best, Frank
