Tom Swiss Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I used to hang my Steadicam Zephyr arm through the O-ring around the aircraft pin over the stud on the docking bracket. It fell off and bent the aircraft pin; not a good solution. If you hang your Steadicam on the same c-stand of the docking bracket, how do you do it? Any photos on the internet? I only come up with guys wearing the Zephyr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Sene Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hi Tom, The Zephyr arms usually come with a webbing loop around the aircraft pin - see the red vertical line in the attached picture. I've also seen folks attach a loop through the bottom circle, highlighted in the picture with the red circle. While I usually put my G-50x arm on my cart if it's nearby, if I'm working off my rolling stand, I hang it. I use a spare Domke lens wrap around the stand to cushion it where the arm touches so it doesn't get dinged up when it's moved. Happy flying!

Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted June 2, 2020 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 I took 3 long sections of tie line and braided them through the gap in the socket block assembly. I take it off and hang it from this short " rope" that isn't in the way at all when I'm operating. I use a segment of Home Depot hot water pipe foam insulator to pad the part of my stand that the arm ( and sled ) would bang against with constant docking motions. Works like a charm !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
