    Bought this a few years back. Had it delivered about the same time as my programer left the company. Since then it´s been a paper weight. It takes 6kg on the nose and for somebody with a bit of time and talent this can be turned into a fantastic high speed moco arm. I been fooling myself that...

    Testing the Dactlycam, love it.

    Can not believe that it´s not more commonly used. Can go super creative with it, now I was just in the forest behind my house by myself testing it and as my cats and wife lost interest long before I got the rope around those poles I had nothing but my self to shot. But I will use this with 4...

Just to get an idea of what the 8k beast...
