Premium Members Bryan Trieb Posted June 21, 2019 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Haha Mr Fowler! I consider the XCS Ultimate 2HD (and soon the Ultimate 3) to be the RR, despite the masses adopting the Volt on their Tiffen and Pro sleds. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Bryan Fowler Posted June 21, 2019 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Yeah but does the Ultimate 3 have the leather wrapped 3 stage post, massaging gimbal, and a boot apron? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members axel ebermann Posted June 21, 2019 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 I can only speak from my personal experience and the rigs that I have owned. I had a Swiss Made Actioncam, a Tiffen Ultra2c and an Arri Artemis / Trinity prior to my current Pro rig and the Pro is by far the best I have ever owned. I really enjoy the simplicity of the design and the 'feel' of the precision engineering. Of the above Pro has also shown to have by far the best support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members brett.mayfield Posted June 21, 2019 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 those trinity rigs look like they could be a rolls royce. so much technology though. the smooth ride of the ergo gimbal, the colors of the electronics...id say that the ultimate 2hd is like the rolls royce ghost. my sled is xcs chassis and steering, pro suspension and body, and a betz roof rack so im going with mine being a land cruiser. diesel. brett.

Premium Members Igor Savatovic Posted October 2, 2019 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 It’s kind a wired comparison, but I am also the one who is sometimes using this picturesque example with the cars (or guitars) when it comes to explaining the differences between things, to someone who isn’t from the industry. :) Rolls Royce is all about the back seats. It’s about the driven person in the back seats, not about the driver. :) Anyway, After 20+ years of operating and owning 4 rigs, I still believe it is about the “driver” not about the “car”. It’s about the player, not the instrument. ;) I am just used to my Sachtler Artemis Cine or EFP or Arri Trinity. I never operated no one else's steadicam. This doesn’t mean that my steadi is better then someone else's. I feel more comfortable and confident with my rig, and I believe I am achieving better results this way.
