Premium Members Jeffrey Rosenberg Posted November 27, 2021 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hello All!!שלום I hope you are all most well! I just joined this forum this past week, and I look forward to engaging in great discussions and/or successful equipment exchanges with you. I have some questions: What are the arms that you recommend most? Which ones would you avoid, and why? I am looking at the following arms (trying to fly my Arri Alexa EV with a Steadicam Cinema Products 509 sled): Tiffen/Steadicam G70X NB Stabilizer Arm Flowcine XARM SmartSystem Arm X1 Also, have you come across any "homemade" arm builds that you would try/recommend? Thank you very much, and look forward to hear from you. Sincerely, Jeffrey G. Rosenberg www.jgrosie.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Kevin Jacobsen Posted November 27, 2021 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 All have benefits real brief and my opinion tiffen, faster fine tune adjustments, exposed springs, if you can get in touch with customer support they are fairly helpful. Also a large number of ops use it so there is lot of helpful info flying around. flowcine great execution awesome price point and amazing support, weight ranges between spring cores are a little short but I hear great things. xarm Has been widely adopted overseas, haven’t used but it’s a light arm that can take heavy loads. Can’t speak to the nuance of performance nb stabilizer is the only one that uses exposed “rubber” bands to adjust its capacity. Some people swear by it, I’ve never used it, but there is a video of it failing on the internet… so I don’t know. my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t speak to the nuance of performance Following the list @Jeffrey Rosenberg wrote, I suppose @Kevin Jacobsen referred to ArmX1 for this review I quoted here. Just a tiny help for avoid confusion.
