Anyone know if the Movcam 3a arm is isoelastic?

I don't know of anyone with one of their arms.

 

I do know one guy in Canada who has the sled. He's had to do some tweaking to keep it all together and is using it knowing that it isn't going to for very long.

 

There are other options out there if your looking for an arm and don't want to break the bank. I think there is a posting for a pretty nice rebuild efp arm that an op that's looking to get rid of it. Its a good deal on a proven piece of gear that techs around the worls can help maintain for you.

It was just curiosity :ph34r: . I have a 3a arm recently serviced by Bees but I'm always intersted to see what's out there and who is developing what. If I was upgrading I'd probably go for either the steadyrig or a G50/70 but at the moment with gold springs I can fly pretty much whatever comes my way.

 

Thanks for the replies tho'.

As of now they seam very much visual copies made from pictures either made on trade shows or internet. They don''t have the mechanics nor physics down as of yet... that will probably change once somebody sits down with them and explains the workings... but at that point there price will go up steep as quality costs money and we are a VERY small market for that kind of investment...

 

Tried it... not there yet.

 

So no, if you are serious of making this your sole income... stay away.

 

Sincerely,

Yea its a pretty good knock off =p

 

But I had the same feeling when I tried it at NAB this year, the half of a Provid arm that my school has (its a long story) flew better then the Movcam arm did.
