4 Sleds For Sale (MK-V, Steadicam Master, and Custom Built)

I have 4 sleds for sale. Three of them were acquired in a lot of other equipment, and I don’t need them, so I am passing them along. One of them was a project build for me last summer, and I rebuilt from the ground up. All rigs are sold as-is, although I have taken apart most of these rigs and can potentially help you down the line if you run into any issues with them.

All rigs are available for testing in person in NJ or the NY area, and can be shipped at the buyer's expense. Contact me at willsvideo@gmail.com or 215-796-8938 if you're interested in any of them. (Please be patient, as I am working!)

  1. Steadicam Master Series with custom base and electronics
    • This rig was a project for me last year, and I spent several weeks rebuilding this rig to be something I was happy with. The rig started as a stock Master series sled, but I added on some modified MK-V components and several custom-machined pieces, along with an entirely new electronics housing on the base.
    • It has 2 AB plates, wired for series or parallel 12 or 24v, an HD-SDI line down the post, and standard Tiffen-style power connectors top and bottom.
    • The rig currently has on it an old beat up Marshall HD monitor, which I’ll include for free, but it could use to be upgraded to something better for real operating.
    • Includes docking bracket, monitor, monitor power cable, and one dovetail.
    • Asking $9000 or best offer for this sled
  2. Steadicam Master Series with MK-V Modified Base
    • This sled is one of the sleds that MK-V offered an “upgrade” for, which replaced the entire base of the rig, swapping it for a new MK-V designed base, which in this case has 19mm rods for the battery, an MK-V monitor mount, which is very flexible in its position on the rig, and MK-V V2 SD electronics in the base.
    • Everything appears to work, although the sled does have quite a bit of wear on it.
    • It includes a double AB battery mount, docking bracket, dovetail, and a MK-V Hummingbird SD daylight-viewable monitor (or could be sold without, if you’d like to add your own HD monitor). It may be possible in the future to HD upgrade this rig if you’d like, or it is very usable as a “starter rig” until you’re ready to upgrade.
    • Asking $6000 or best offer for this sled.
  3. MK-V Sled with 1.5” Post, 3A gimbal, V2 SD electronics
    • This sled is comprised of a 1.5” 2-stage post, MK-V V2 SD electronics top and bottom, an MK-V 3A-style topstage (easily swappable for a PRO or Betz stage later) and 19mm MK-V rod brackets for the monitor and battery mounts. The gimbal is a 3A gimbal modified with an MK-V upgrade to a tool-less adjustable grip.
    • The rig is in working order, and some parts appear to be brand new (like the battery and monitor rods)
    • This rig offers many upgrade paths due to its modularity, including new top stages, new gimbals (PRO or XCS) and new electronics from MK-V.
    • It includes an MK-V docking bracket, and dovetail.
    • Asking $7500 or best offer for this sled.
  4. Custom “Running Rig” MK-V sled build (bare bones)
    • This rig looks like it was a project by the previous owner. It is an MK-V 1.5” CF post, an MK-V gimbal (silver, perhaps a prototype?), 3A-Style topstage, and a custom base section based off of MK-V’s 19mm rods.
    • Quite importantly, this rig has no electronics on the rig. The previous owner ran 2 HD-SDI cables down the post, but there isn’t currently any power wiring down the rig. This would be a great place to start for an enterprising operator who wants to start with the parts to build a really impressive rig, but wants to save money at the moment.
    • There are 2 battery plates included, along with a docking bracket, and some docking collars. I can also throw in some extra 19mm rods.
    • Asking $6000 or best offer for this sled.
