Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted October 12, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Does anyone has something that would work for hard mounting a Zephyr to the back of a truck for this coming Wednesday 17th? If you also have any harness/safety line as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted October 19, 2012 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Anyone? The shoot ended, and I did it in soft mount. It worked but I'm still wondering about a hard mount for the big small rig (zephyr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Johnson Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I am also wondering the same thing. Had to do a softmount the other day as well. Is there any decent options out there to purchase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted October 25, 2012 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 To buy, there is this: http://www.tiffen.com/displayproduct.html?tablename=steadicam&itemnum=800-7900-01 I was looking to rent...

Samuel Angus Campbell Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hey steadicam newbie here. Can someone please explain what hard mounting and soft mounting are? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted January 7, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hey Samuel, Soft mounting is when you sit in the back of a vehicle with your steadicam attached to a vest, and hard mounting is when the arm is attached to the vehicle itself with something like this http://www.tiffen.com/displayproduct.html?tablename=steadicam&itemnum=800-7900. Hard mount is preferred because much safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
