Hi Guys, Been a while since I've been on the site. There used to be place on the forum where you could purchase batteries for the HPX-170. I don't see it. Maybe it's moved or not available any longer. In any case, where can I purchase new batteries for my HPX-170? Thanks. MDslammer

Hi Guys, It's been a while since I've posted anything or even checked in here. I got side tracked and have been shooting but not with my camera. I got into long distance precision shooting with my Remington SS 5R MilSpec .308. Man, that's another money pit... But I digress. Has there been any...

I have an original Merlin Steadicam. It's in mint condition. I've used it sparingly first with my DVX100A and then once with my HPX-170. It's been packed away for quite sometime. I just don't use it. Initially, I was asking $600.00 for it. I'll let it go for $500.00 (plus S&H and insurance)...

Looking for a carbon fiber set of sticks. These three keep surfacing in my searches. Any pros/cons for any of them would be appreciated.

I think it's time for me to move up to a new tripod/fluid head combo. I've heard some great reviews about the Sachtler stix so I'm asking for some recommendations as to the "specifics" for what I need to look for. Also, what do you guys recommend for a really nice fluid head. I've been using...
