I have an idea how much the new Flyer model is. Does anyone have an idea on the price range for it's bigger brothers: Clipper and Vector?

You just need to ask. ;)

There are basically three new models, with the usual options. The Flyer is designed for weight loads from 4 to 15 Lbs, and lists for $6,495.00USD. The Clipper is rated for 15-26Lbs and lists for $32,500.00 and the Vector will handle weights from 20 to 45 Lbs and lists for $44,950.00. My understanding, is that the Flyer is like a Mini on steroids, the Clipper is like a cross between the ProVid and the Ultra, and that the Vector is going to challenge the Ultra.

The prices look good, from my view anyway, since I'm interested in the Vector.

Hey, sorry to post in this thread, I just had a question for pookie. How come on steadicams, the operators sometimes use those monitors that display a green image? Whats up with that?

Just a guess - Pookie sounds like the expert....
I believe the Green screen monitors have a higher resolustion or constrast ratio which makes them easier to see in daylight/sunshine.

Sirius_Doggy, basically, that's it.

Since the operator doesn't need to focus, iris etc, only frame the shot and keep it framed, the green makes viewing easier, since you can't go blind on a shot when the sun is shining directly on the monitor.

Pookie: I am Kansas City-based, but I would LOVE to avoid sales tax and have a unit shipped. I don't know between the Vector or Clipper. Just curious right now, thanks.
