FlowPod.

[WayneC003]

Is anyone using the Flow Pod? I just purchased one for use during weddings. I use my DVX100A almost fully loaded. I have Wide angle lens, Sony 20w on-camera light and 11” AT shotgun mic, and Sony Wireless receiver mounted on the top. I suspect it weighs at least 10 pounds now. Is anyone using the Flow pod with that much strapped to the top? I am finding mine to be front heavy. I can't seem to get the weight distributed evenly because of the bolt in the middle of the balance plate. Should I just return it and go with a steady or glide cam? ???

I suppose you've checked out the DVRig Pro Review thread here, right?

Re: FlowPod.

I have the same issue with my flowpod. The screw in the rear securing the side to side inhibits the front/back positioning of the camera to achieve full balance. I purchased some extra weights to help mitigate the problem, but it weighs the whole system down. (way down)
