Steadicam Pilot AA vs the Steadicam Pilot VL

[chiefr_suthrland]

Which is better, the Steadicam Pilot AA or the Steadicam Pilot VL? Besides the v-mount, are there any real differences?

I'd steer clear of the Pilot... it's old tech by now. You only have composite signal running in that post and you can't fit an HD cable in there even if you wanted. Also the monitor that comes with the Pilot is useless outside.
