OG Zephyr, Need Additional Weight Top Stage


Recommended Posts

Hi folks, 

So, I've been flying really light cameras like Canon C70 lately.

Steadicam desperately wants more weight to fly nicely. I have some little screw-in weights I can add to the top of the camera, but I've seen pictures of operators with weight under the camera. It looks like it'd be faster for me switching from tripod. Basically I want to do something like this: stage->dovetail-> heavy "cheeseplate" weight-> quick release-> camera. 

Does anybody make this sort of thing, or do I keep looking online for thick heavy cheeseplates? I want to add at least a few pounds of weight. Probably more like 4-5 lbs. Which is a bummer because most cheeseplates are all about less weight not more.

Thank you!

Patrick

Janice Arthur sells practice weight plates that may serve your purpose. Her smallest is 6.5lbs I believe. You should reach out to her at steadijan@hotmail.com.
