Well I think this is it, the work is just not coming in for this thing so rather then let it sit I would see it get some use by someone who needs it. The sled, arm and vest $3500.00 OBO. I am not going to include batts as I have another project I can use them on. I will keep the Hocus Focus remote FF as that also can be used else where. The wireless video sender is also not included. If you want pics check my site for the latest version of my rig. This rig is perfect for HDSLRs or the new AF100 or PMW F3. You could even power the F3 off this sled. With the right cable.

12/24 volt system. V-lock system
Arm capacity 20 to 25lbs camera weight. Single spring system with 2 sets of springs. Titanium socket male block, from Glidecam gold system.
Sled is 1.5 inch CF 2 stage with some nice LEMO compatible connectors at the topstage. Topstage is micro adjustable fore/aft. Gimbal is rated at 50lbs give or take.
Vest has water jet cut upper and is sized for bodies around 5'8" give or take an inch either way. Stainless Steel female socket block, industry standard.
I will of course throw in all the special cables I made with the LEMO compatible connectors. 3pin lemo to 4 pin XLR for most ENG type cameras. Also 3 pin lemo to 2.5 mm cable for monitor. iKAN v8000 HDMI monitor.

The arm is industry standard connectors at both ends, so if you wanted or had to fly anther sled, within this arms weight range you could.

So there you have it. It was fun being an op for awhile but if its not makin me money it's got to go. I will take Paypal or Money order. If it's Paypal I would have to charge the 3% fee. If it's a money order I will have to wait till it clears. Shipping and insurance are at your expense. This thing works great and for the money you are getting basically a rig on par with a GC V25 or a STEADICAM Flyer LE.

If I do get some serious inquiries I will take pics of the rig as it sits now.
 
Hey Kevin,
absolutely. both static and dynamic balance are quite easy to achieve with this design of sled. I also forgot to add that there is a low mode bracket included in the sale. Also, if anyone hits my asking price I would throw in "The STEADICAM operators Handbook". An incredibly useful book, more useful I would say than The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy! I will shoot a video demonstrating the rig and post it at my site.
