Premium Members Jarrett P. Morgan Posted May 10, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I just watched a video on youtube of some laser pointer, but I couldn't really find any more info online. Do you have a link or anything on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariano Costa Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I think it would make everything a lot easier if anyone posted the link to that Facebook page, I just found a lot of garbage while searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonello Marino Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 you still think that this arm is full of friction? :) https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesteadicamgroup/search/?query=twiga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Vahe Abrahamyan Posted April 30, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 you still think that this arm is full of friction? :) https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesteadicamgroup/search/?query=twiga Hi guys, it seems smooth :) But the "l'Aigle", in France, has rubber band arms since 2003, it's not so new. This is their flagship arm: http://shop.laigleparis.fr/index.php?id_product=69&controller=product&id_lang=5 And now the isoelasticity can be adjusted without tools, so I guess no need to remove or add rubbers (unless perhaps if you go from DSLR to a much heavier camera - like the GPI Pro arm canisters have to be changed). Rubbers are pretty smooth and quite. I have an older l'aigle rubber band arm. The only thing to be "careful" about when operating is extreme temperatures. You need to readjust the elasticity. The cost of changing the rubbers is near zero. L'Aigle for example guarantees them for 10 years... so you can change all the rubbers for free before that. (P.S. I am not working for l'aigle (!) and their systems do have flaws, but also interesting innovative concepts. Twiga seems to have taken the same approach with their new arm, interesting :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a new arm using rubber bands, don't know what's the brand name. So apologies for the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
