Premium Members Ramon Engle Posted July 3, 2020 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Here's another one of David Hable's masterpieces. He modified my Wave to provide power outlets and BNC's as well as a back-lit bubble level. Now the camera sits 2inches lower minus the weight of the Dbox and topstage. I use the XCS side-to-side plate in the Wave for balance within the Wave. I have side-to-side adjustment on my monitor for Sled balance. The sled was a PRO Lite that has been upgraded to HD and the 2inch post and gimbal are MK-V. It's a fantastic rig that had become my pre-pandemic work horse. The loss of weight and height between the gimbal and wave allows me to keep the sled compact and tight to my body. I love it! David is such an innovative problem solver. There isn't much you can throw at him that he can't adapt. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted July 3, 2020 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 David is awesome — this is a great mod (and what was originally intended when Greg first started playing around with roll correction). this would be so perfect for an XCS sled since it already has the x/y at the bottom. It could definitely work using only the side to side of Greg’s plate as a course adjustment but I would miss the fine corrections. That being said I want 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Bryan Trieb Posted July 8, 2020 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 This is pretty awesome. Love the execution. Just curious...what if your wave stops working and needs service? Do you have another top stage to swap into the mix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Ramon Engle Posted July 9, 2020 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I do have a Betz top stage with the same modification on the way. Actually if the wave stops working I'll just operate old school. In fact David installed an on/off switch on the wave so there are times when I do deactivate the wave and fly old school. Since there's no extra height It's not a big adjustment. R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
