Connor Hargreaves Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 I'm currently in the research and quoting phase for my first steadicam purchase. I only have experience with Tiffen Steadicam brand gear (M2, M1, Shadow, and Zephyr) and I'd like to get experience with other brands before I make this big financial decision. Are there any New York based operators with GPI Pro, Arri Trinity, Sachtler Artemis, etc. brand "steadicam" rigs that would be willing to let a newbie practice with / rent out? Also if anyone in NYC needs / wants a steadi-utility/assistant I'd be happy to be of service. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I end up getting a Tiffen M2 sled with a volt and a G50x arm. Looking to upgrade my vest to a GPI pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what do you recommend, buy it as a single kit or buy each parts separately like you did and if yes why and which ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion would be to attend a workshop if one is available to you. I personally took the SOA Workshop in Pennsylvania, USA. They're not affiliated with any specific Steadicam manufacturer, so you get a lot of experience with many different brands. There are some Tiffen branded workshops on your side of "the pond" coming up though https://flysteadicam.tiffen.com/pages/events . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
