John Brook Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Has anybody ever heard of a Basson Steady System? It is an impressive looking rig but I know that looks aren't everything. I also noticed that this rig looks like it would be hard to balance. Just cruious if anyone had any kind of experience with this rig? Here is the link for those interested: http://www.bassonsteady.com Quote
Premium Members RobVanGelder Posted March 3, 2009 Premium Members Report Posted March 3, 2009 John, did you bother to search for this in the forum? Just typing in "Basson" in the search option will reveal 2 pages with endless replies about this and similar systems, where you can find the general opinion: it is trash! <_< Quote
John Brook Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Posted March 3, 2009 Thanks for that bit of info. All I found when I did my fist search was a bunch of people asking questions about the Basson and more people saying search the archives. But upon another 30 minutes of searching I found what I was looking for. Just thought I could get a quick opinion. Next time I'll do a more thorough search. Quote

Premium Members Ed Moore Posted March 3, 2009 Premium Members Report Posted March 3, 2009 Wow, check out the photo at the top of the Basson website of the guy sitting out of the door of a helicopter. That looks completely, perfectly safe in every regard and something you'd definitely want to do, no questions asked. Quote

Those big flappy theigh pads extend out to form a batsuit type thing so the operator can gracefully glide down to the ground. Quote

How fun! The internet is rad... Here's what I pulled from the EXIF data of the original image... DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. -- Airman 1st Class Jonathan Trammell welds a part on the remodeled mortuary transfer vehicle. Airmen from the metal technology shop here redesigned the inside of the truck to increase the capacity from two to six transfer cases. Airman Trammell is assigned to the 436th Equipment Maintenance Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo by William M. Plate Jr.) Not that it matters any, I just thought I'd jump on that bandwagon... Maybe if we all teamed up, we could find Osama bin Laden. Quote
