Bazil Christodoulou Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 hello everybody, i was wondering if there is a point of wearing a big rig's vest like Master series with a smaller sled like the Zephyr,Provid,Flyer etc what are the advantages-disadvantages with such a combintation? i m not so experienced so i would appreciate any answer. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jerry Holway Posted August 21, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Not too much point to it, especially comparing a Master Series vest to a Zephyr vest - the Zephyr vest is quite good and it is hugely adjustable for body types and sizes. Some find the Zephyr vest perfect for all but the heaviest payloads on big rigs. Other "small rig" vests typically flex too much or don't distribute the loads as well as the big vests, but they also weigh less, generally cover less of you body for better heat dissipation, and are fine If one doesn't overload the sled. Any arm socket can be put on any vest, so that's not an issue. The key thing for any vest: it needs to fit you. It doesn't matter what anyone else says or prefers; your vest must fit you. If you like the Master Series vest (which I never did without modifying it, but that's just me), and you want to use it, go right ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazil Christodoulou Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 thanks a lot for the immediate and enlightening answer. i haven't worn a Master series vest but i found one at a low price and i was temted because i m trying to build a steadicam system... i think it might be a bit bulky especially with a smaller rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Frederic Sturm Posted August 26, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hi Bazil, If you're interested in a perfect crossover vest for anything from smaller rigs to bigger ones, the Zephyr vest is really nice, as Jerry sais. Oh, coincidentally I have one to sell ;) http://www.steadicamforum.com/index.php?showtopic=18899 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
