I hope the heavy duty springs will be the "standard" option (included in the price hehe)... Looks like no one wants the smaller ones :P

Sorry but the deal we are getting is as good as we can expect to get. I have been in close communication with AP and they have been very firm from the beginning about the terms of the offer. The good news is, immediately after placing your deposit, your rig appreciates in value! That's a pretty good deal.

I have owned a AP Rebel Pro for about 4 years. I have loved it. I have gone to Nab Every year for 6 years and tried on all the rigs available. Every time I go I cannot find any reason to "upgrade" to a more expensive system. I have never been let down by my Rig. It will do as much weight as any other professional "Steadicam" and is easy to upgrade. The quality of machining is above par and the way the system is put together is awesome.
I haven't read this whole thread but I am actually considering ordering this little rig just to have something that is a lighter option for small camera set ups. I will say that the 35 lb springs are the only option... you will never have a lack of gear to strap to a steadicam... Some audio guy will always come toward you with a set of audio hops and xlr cables that will put you right over your threshold. The 35 lbs is really close for any eng live show.
But that said, the Raptor looks like a great piece of gear for a reasonable price...

Joshua,
Thanks for the input.
 
I'm in full contemplation mode right now. Must justify with my business partner who just happens to also be my pregnant wife. How close are you to 20 commitments?

Well, you can always mod the arm to carry a baby buggy - that might swing it!

I endured a grilling from my business partners too...

Don't think you have much time left... Carey's Clock will chime soon!

Sorry but that would be very tough. I found dealing with my wife is actually much harder than operating steadicam with Arri 35BL.
Good Luck!
 
What's the duty in Canada? In the UK 'film' kit can vary from 0% to 3% of the value. We also have VAT (and extra 20%) but that's reclaimable if you're a VAT registered business.

I'd presume you're not really talking much to add considering the pre-order price.
 
It is now after 12am Eastern Standard Time and that concludes this limited offer for the ActionCam Raptor.

It was a short week but worth every moment because I promise everyone that opted in will be very pleased for whats next. The mark was met, so each of you get the lowest offer. :yesnod:

ActionProducts and Innocinema are both family owned and operated. I am the owner of Innocinema in the USA and my brothers Brian and Daryl Goff, are the owners of ActionProducts in Switzerland. ActionProducts was founded off of stabilizer design from Brain almost 20 years ago. It all started because Brian wanted a better rig to fit his needs as an operator. So he has spent the last 20 years actively being a professional operator on big productions while constantly perfecting his designs to best fit his own needs as an operator. In other words, we are not satisfied in making rigs that simply copy a concept that was started a long time ago at a cheap price to get the largest bang for the buck. We believe in innovation and making something better based on real life experience in this industry. We are very passionate about this industry and we hope you can see that passion in our products.

With all that said, I think its safe to say we know that becoming a proficient operator takes years of experience and dedication and we would like to see our customers develop these skills all along the way. ActionProducts will be holding a video contest that will allow you to showcase your work and skill with our stabilizers. We would like to invite all ActionCam users (from rookies to the seasoned veteren) to submit a creative video that highlights their use of the either the Rebel or Raptor.

As for the submission of the video there needs to be requirements:
  • Must show the product (Rebel or Raptor)
  • Cut to a song under 4 mins
  • Contestants must own rights to footage
  • Posted on Vimeo privately, email a password to us for review and remain private until the winners are announced.
  • ActionProducts will pick the top quality and creatively produced videos and globally promote them with your credits.
  • The Top Video will win the Grand Prize of the ActionProducts BridgePlate H-QR with options of 2x 15mm or 19mm Rod Mounts.
  • Must make email submissions ten days from winners announcement.
  • The term is 60 days after start date.
  • Official Start date is to be determined as we want to wait until everyone that opted in gets the new Raptors.

THE GRAND PRIZE is the new ActionProducts quick release hybrid 15mm/19mm Studio BridgePlate - $1,500 Value!!!

Below is an example of the concept but is not limiting anyone to this style of video. This was shot from our official rep in Los Angeles area, Luke Rocheleau.


To conclude this rant, ActionProducts has a 3 year warrantee for all machined parts, 1 year for electronics, and life time support from both ActionProducts and Innocinema... As you are working in your career as an operator, you can feel free to call us for advise or help with anything you need, forever. The official launch of this contest at the conclusion of this offer is our way of saying that our communication with our customers doesn't end here... its only the beginning. Thank you again to everyone that participated in this offer. You will all individually be contacted soon for updates on the next steps moving forward.
