Stephen Press Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 ? fortunately it's easy to sell, I can?t praise Brian Goff?s skills in designing and building my AS Actioncam enough. Its light, it?s versatile and gives a more expensive rig a run for its money. Any deficiency?s are therefore to be laid at the feet of the operator :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnaud Keil Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Well the market is the Dutch one, and I'll listen to Job about that, as he is Dutch as well. That brings back the V-25, which is basically perfect in price for me and from what I've experienced; does deliver. So I'm going to go with the glidecam, hope I'll have it next week. French market seems to be like the dutch one. ;) The V-25 will do the job. You just will have to swap the monitor with a daylight viewable one. It's the only mod to do on that rig to reach the professional video market. Have a nice fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Martin Stacey Posted June 4, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Coming back to New Zealand has been hard, everyone wants Steadi Cam, at least until they have seen what I can do... I'll agree with you there Stephen. For some reason here a 3A is trusted more than the latest Pro, XCS, MK-V etc. Nothing but ignorance unfortunately which requires a little re-education.

Thomas Neumann Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'm pretty pleased with mine. For the price, it is very effective although they have obviously cut a few corners. I have heard a lot of complaints about the vest. It actually fits me pretty well but isn't the most rigid vest ever made. It doesn't use a standard socket block and although V25 arrangement works fine, it does prevent you from swapping the vest or arm. You can buy a socket block converter to solve this. I find the post a little thin and I dislike the monitor arm but it does work. I really like the arm, it is pretty smooth and well built. I have heard people say that the Flyer arm is smoother and that may be true but it can't carry as much weight. If you want to spend about $10K on a rig for S16 and video, you can't go too far wrong with the V25. Another option is a 2nd hand rig like an EFP, which can be heavily modded but obviously lacks the support of buying new. Hey Mike, where can i get this socket block converter? I'm really unhappy about the v25 vest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
