Yeah gort ours today as well, but got the Pulsar version as we don't want any Magnesium near salt water for our rigs.

However I actually misunderstood the concept of this, and not willing to go back on the fact that the Epic Atom Pro kit with the Modules and thicker Shark Fins allows to eliminate a S&^$%# Load of cables and extra Boxes, so
I think this is not staying with us, and the Steady operator and Shoulder mount operator might have to deal with it, also simply because I am not willing to have to dismount almost entirely the rig to go to Upright position with this new kit,.

But I mam certain that any which might not want to spend the extra 20K on the Pro kit to eliminate cables and boxes to get a faster set up and a more lean and mean look and fill of the rig, but prefer to save money and could care less about cables, will find this a fantastic new addition form ET to their Atom rig for both Steady operation as well as shoulder mount.

Either way Pedro, thanks for sharing, and loving what you are doing with your new Blog site...

Sorry about the quick snap shot...

I think the new "electron" sharkfins /conversion for the atom might be the best option for steadicam anyway.....

As far as I don't have to remove the Pro kit, and get back al the boxes and cables on to the rig...
