Premium Members Rory_Moles Posted June 25, 2017 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hi should a practise rig be similar to the type you eventually want to use, or are the principles the same with a lightweight rig and a heavy rig ? I have the possibility to buy a Steadicam Flyer (the original one) and I would really like to have my own rig to practise on but don't want to outlay a fortune until I am sure its for me. tia Rory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say if you have a good deal on the Flyer- try it... just be careful as the resale on Flyers and most under "5g steadicams" is currently not that good. I've had mine for sale over a year with barely any serious interest.With that said - I was glad to learn on the Flyer as it was easier to jump to a big sled after. Hope that helps Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dy Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I thought resale is a good buy. Any other tips on what to look for when it comes to 5g steadicams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
