magi cam??

[Jim Morton]

I am a newbee steadi operatior. (that cant spel) the companey I work for has one glide cam for HD and one holleywood light GT for sdanderd DV. plus a few difrent "rented" systems.

 

I am looking to buy my own rig (i get paid about the rate of a PA for steady cam work) so I dont have a lot of cash so a real stadicam is out of my leag for right now. and I dont reley like the glide cam. I was looking at the magi cam and was wondering waht other pepols opinin was. ( I know about the basson already) of course it will suck next to aney thing made buy staedicam but I just need a starter rig to save some cash to get the real thing.

 

has aney one used a magi cam?? aprently it is used on "exstream home makeover" you can see from the show waht the shoots look like and that the color dose not match the tripod shots but heay its not a real rig...

 

Many issues with this company. First is no customer service. Second is never receiving the rig when ordered. There's a big forum about it over at

Read what others are saying, especially the overseas customers who've been waiting over six months for their rig. I'm part of this group because I won a Magiqcam on ebay in Sept. Too many issues to discuss here but you'll find out all the info over at dvinfo.net

UH oh

I ordered Oct 1 ,I also emailed with no replies. I live in Japan and dont feel like witing until 2008 for a rig. I emailed them just now saying give me info or I`m calling VISA. Checked EBAY too, no longer listing!! Whats the deal with that?
