Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted June 27, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 wow...that was a while back (2006)! A lot of rig options nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members William Demeritt Posted June 27, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'm not sure how much additional coding or extra work that would take. The easiest way (and less invasive of Tim's time) would probably be to encourage everyone to modify their profiles to state what rig they fly, which parts are what, etc. Perhaps instead of "Yes - For big cameras", change the "Interests" field to "Rigs and equipment you use". Encourage a particular format: Sled Camera Platform: PRO DB3 + PRO HD UJB Centerpost: PRO HD Centerpost Sled base: PRO HD LJB + PRO gen 2 battery hanger Monitor and arm: Cinetronic Gen 1 + Sachtler Tilting Telescopic monitor arm Batteries: Anton Bauer Dionic HC Arm Manufacturer/Type: PRO Titan Arm + black/blue canisters Vest Type: PRO front mounted vest Follow Focus Manufacturer/System: Bartech digital + Bartech analog Accessories Garfield mount, Backstage TR-04JR cart, Cases for shipping, Paralinx Arrow, Decimator 2, BlackMagic Hyperdeck Shuttle 2, cat griller, Cam-Jam catgriller, Mike O'shea weight cage Might give people a chance to get a glimpse of what a specific operator flies when browsing the forum? Assuming people comply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members James Puli Posted June 28, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I just updated the "Interests" column on my profile page to show the gear I fly! No extra coding needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted June 28, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Good call, Will. It's actually not hard at all to update the profile pages on the I.P. Board software, but it just takes time of of Tim's hands. I'll update my profile now, too, and I hope other follow suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Tom Wills Posted June 28, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I've added mine to my profile as well. This could be a really great feature - no more googling someone and trying to wade through their website to figure out what they fly!

Premium Members Afton Grant Posted June 28, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Unfortunately, unless there's a way to run a search on the "Interests" field (maybe there is... is there?), it would take a lot of wading through profiles if you're looking for someone with the specific gear about which you have a question. I'm often curious to see what other people are using and I'll check out the "equipment" sections of web sites. However, if I have a specific question about a piece of gear, I know my best answer will always come from just posting it in the appropriate forum. There's a lot of experience on these boards. Just because someone doesn't have something specific now doesn't mean they didn't once have it, nor does it mean they don't know anything about it.
