pm Mitch, then he will hook you up with a salesman.

...the 2575 might not be the best choice because it needs (like others) a certain level of weight to perform optimally...

I've had bare HVX's on them, even DSLRs, and they have always worked fine. You need to dial the counterbalance way down, but no problems.

 

[Mitch Gross]

Yes, please send me a PM that includes your email address (or you can just email me) and I will have one of our Sales Reps. reach out to you.

Hi Mitch

We're looking at tripods at the moment and I'm torn between the O'Connor 2060 and the Sachtler Cine 30...which would you favour for the Red?

Best wishes

Scott

 

[Mitch Gross]

I like them both, but I'd have to say that I've personally always been more a a Sachtler man than an O'Connor man. They are both excellent products and O'Connor is bigger on the West Coast while Sachtler is bigger on the East Coast. Their specs are pretty close with some interesting differences.

Cine-30
payload cap. 77lbs.
head weight 12.3 lbs.
tilt range +90/-75

2060
payload cap. 65 lbs.
head weight 16 lbs.
tilt range +90/-90

The Sachtler is bulkiewr but weighs less. It is rated for more weight but it does not have the infinite tension adjustment & crank in-counterbalance design. The O'Connor can tilt up further but tilt down is the one people usually care about.

It's about what works for you. I like 'em both. Both companies are owned by the same larger group.

Just got a quote from Abel and even after the discount, i find that i can get a better package from some stores online. Eg. Adorama's Miller Arrow 55 #1726 system is about $300 less.
Or was i quoted wrongly??

 

[Mitch Gross]

I'll ask someone from our Sales Dept. to check.

 

[Stacey Spears]

My 1726 package arrived today. One thing to note, you may not get 55 pounds of capacity on the Miller Arrow55. It will probably be ~39-41 pounds based on the center of gravity of the Red. You need to look at the Arrow 55 manual, not data sheet, to see the capacity limits.

 

[Andrew Benz]

How do you like it though Stacey from an operational pov (head and sticks)?

Thank you for the heads up on loading the head...

I get nightmares thinking about a poor ChuckT using a RED camera...:holloween:

That's the best retort I've seen in a while.

We apologize. We have a discount deal in place with Miller but our purchasing agent is out sick and it did not get properly implemented in our database. I believe that we are now quoting significantly less than the competition mentioned. We've sent you a new quote and if anyone else has received a Miller Arrow 55 quote from us that they believe may be in error please do not hesitate in letting us know.

Again, we're sorry for the confusion and for ever misquoting a price to anyone.
