brin wood Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Just made my own steadycam, a copy of the silver flyer, and didn't research the weight limits for it. Do you think the trv is too heavy for this use? Has anyone used a steadycam with the trv 520? will be interested in hearing of others experiences. thanks.

Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted July 19, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 That camcorder will never be able to fly on a Steadicam. Too heavy. May I recommend an Arri Alexa instead. More seriously if you custom built something, we have no way of knowing if your rig will carry the weight because we never tried it. Even if its a copy there are too many elements that can change the weight limit to give you an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brin wood Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) The trv520 wieighs 2.2 pds sans battery. How can you be so sure that is too heavy when you say you havn't tried it? What is an Arri Alexa? Edited July 20, 2013 by brin wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
