Brad Smith Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Anyone using it? How does it go? Is it worth getting the 600 or would you go straight for the 2000? It's about $5K cheaper - If it works, Production only care about the rate and less RF pumping out -Which starts to become a consideration if you're standing next to it every day. 600 feet/200m seems like a pretty useable range for steadi unless you're doing vehicle shots. Obviously the 2000 will punch through walls better. Anyone tried it with the Rock Steadi high gain antenna? Thanks. Brad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members JamieSilverstein Posted November 2, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I have used it for a season on White Collar. Although there was no steadicam, at times we had the DIT tent setup a pretty long way away (600+-). The DIT on the job loved the unit,and I love that I can place it anywhere on the camera, as far away as balanceable. For me, the price (son in college and daughter not far off) was a considerable factor, and the performance relative to the 300 was dramatic and wholly positive. When you make a purchase, all issues come into play. Return on investment, performance, type of work, amount of work. So given my situation it was the right purchase. I can only speak about the 600, but as far as transmitter/receiver units are concerned, I am extremely happy. Hope this helps. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
