Selling my Magiqcam stabilizer--I just never really used it. For someone looking to get into steadicam operation, or looking for a cheap rig for smaller cameras or local jobs, this is it. I just never had the patience to learn the trade, so it's been sitting in my house for far too long.
Excellent working condition. When I did use it, it worked really well, and it was comfy too. Very smooth bearings. Everything is adjustable. I'd say the weight maxes out at around 16 lbs. Comes with:
*Body Vest
*Isoelastic arm
*Sled/gimbal with camera plate
*Monitor mount (velcro)
*Mini weights
*C-stand holder mount (add a light stand and a sandbag and you've got a home base)
The only thing I'd mention is that the tightener for the height of the camera on the sled snapped off but it's been replaced with a metal tightener that uses a screw. Doesn't affect the rig operationally, unless you plan on inverting the sled, in which case I would not trust it to hold it in. a DIYer may design a better fix for this.
As I understand it, Magiqcam stabilizers are not available anymore. They were not mass-produced in some factory in China but rather handmade by a man named John Gardner. The gimbal went through various revisions and the last version produced--this version--has a yoke that was machined to very precise specifications to allow the rig to be balanced linearly fairly easily.
All in a plastic military case. I can provide pictures if needed. Paypal preferred. $1300 and shipping is free inside the continental US.
