Once you get to a point where you can do that sort of on the fly focusing, walking and tracking with a 100mm you're good to go handheld. It's pretty sweet to see that your image isn't jittering all over the place, as well.

I need to get my small LCD or another one on board asap.. trying to crane my neck to see the 7D LCD is a pain when pulling focus.

Pics, though, of your rig. Quickly!

what im most pleased with, is there is ZERO jello. Some skewing here and there, but just popping this on a shoulder gets rid of the jello almost completely. And this is with a telephoto lens.

Nothing wrong if you like using that much lens on a shoulder, lol, but for me anyway, my style of shooting, i would never go over 85. Good to know that the 105 is stable enough to give me confidence to use the 85!

That's because you threw weight on it in a way that's proper for the application. It's RIGHT against your shoulder instead of lingering out an extra thousand and four inches of space. I have NEVER been able to understand the logic behind putting weight out on your joints in a see saw fashion.

Most of the weight should be on your shoulder or very damned near to it, like how your rig is setup.

I'm having my rig refined today, hopefully, will post new pics of it with the new gear attached. Hint: Redrock DSLR quick release plate and Zacuto Z-ARms (The long ones) are the greatest assets to the DSLR handheld application.
 
Very nice rig PaPa. What is it comprised of? Of course a lot of it has to do with your ability to shoot handheld as well. You can focus on the fly pretty nicely.

Damn, maybe it is time I forked out for an FF. I'm finding it a little difficult without one.

alright, so its

Cinevate camera mount to rails
indifocus rails
indifocus follow focus
the whole Z riser thing was made from Letus bracket parts
and finally, indimatte box.
 
Really nice PaPa. Here's my poor boy's rig in its present state (no Loop, FF or MB). It's the Gini Rig off ebay ($265 shipped). It's my first experience with rails (always typical ENG cameras before) and I must say it is quite light and I seem to be able to be pretty steady with it.

Papa

interesting rig , I see you have added significant additional mass which of course helps stability and FF challenges

I would concur that your rig is most likely 'usable'

I note that the rear mass is dropped to give rotational intertia to the system which will help too

nice layout

my personal mission s to create stable rigs that add minimal extra mass

Ever get your rig up and running Kholi? Would love to see it!
 
It' should be between 22.000 /26.000 € but if you think that we can compare it to progpi or tiffen g70 system it should be cheaper than those system...
 
I would apologize with everyone who are reading this thread, but bucause I'm to engaged in several forum, I've noted that in this forum I forgot to mention that I'm the owner of mindfilm, the factory which produces easysteady the brand new stabilization system for light and pro camcorder...
So if you think that this shoul be represent a sort of hidden pubblicity, please banned us for our future post, but if you think that this should represent an occasion to share our experience and giving further information or comaprizion between our and other stedicam systems, please do not exitate to ask us further informations about us...

Thank you again

Kholi, I suppose this is the stabilization thread you mentioned to me a few weeks back. Thanks.

And thank you Jonathan, for posting that 105mm test and others.

I would love to see those pictures of your rig Kholi, if you got it all dialed in to your liking already.
 
Hi everybody,
I think that this product coulb interesting for you
take a look and tell me what do you think,
in this way you can quickly pass from stedicam to tripod an to crane in just few seconds...
bye bye

PaPa, Do you think the Redrock Eye Spy would work as well as your rig? What would be the pros and cons from your point of view? Thanks
