SOLD: Indicam Stabilizer Support system consisting of Backpack, Dual Articulated Arm, Chest Plate/Support Bracket, Discreet Vest Size L and High-Shot extension arm. Also included is an end-piece adapted for use with the Merlin Stabilizer. The original end-piece for the Glidecam 2000/4000 appears center of picture and is included as well.
Purchased April '07:
Standard Support System $1475
High Shot Extension Arm $30
Discreet Vest $90
Stabilizer Basics DVD $35
Shipping $63
Total Paid $1693
Sale Price $800-- Shipped anywhere lower 48 US.
Notes:
The overall condition is excellent as everything has been well taken care of. The bearings on the dual articulated arm are liquid smooth throughout the entire range of motion. Both arms are adjustable to raise/lower the rig to put cam at center of chest as you would expect. The wrench that came with it is included. The socket block is fixed and uses a bolt to secure the arm. The nut is included but is not necessary for use.
Hardware on the articulated arm was originally bright plated. I touched up the nuts and bolt ends by hand with flat black paint to tone down the appearance. That is the reason for the slight discoloration on/around the fasteners.
Either the Backpack or Vest can be used to secure the Chest Plate/Support Bracket. The vest size is large. They were only available in small or large at the time I purchased. I found that small was too small and large is a bit too large for me. The vest could be more snug for my build (I'm thin) if I were to cut back a few stitches at the attachment points of the shoulder straps. I never actually did this. Instead just used it in a less that snug manner--go figure. Everything packs into the backpack for storage and transport.
If I had anything to criticize it would be that the shoulder straps did not snug up enough for my size and one of the two DVDs included has issues playing properly. Other than that, I adapted this thing to fly a Merlin and got surprisingly good results for a beginner.
Reason for Selling: upgraded to a Steadicam system. Raising funds for new tripod.
