Hello as many ask when they will see the new tools alive and video footage, I suggest you wait until end of the month, all rigs will be reviewed and provide test footage, and possibly instructional videos as well.
Also the new hand grip systems will be shown as well as the bracket systems.
Then you still have plenty of time to decide if the rigs are a new reality or just another exotic 3d design, and make your mind , and have plenty of time to take advantage of the bonus offers until the 20th of February.
I think you will like what you will see.I know I do

Hey Constantine, do you have any more pictures?!!

Im sooo looking forward to see the Machine in action. Im super happy with my HR-1 deluxe, and Im sure I will be even more pleased with the Machine once its assembled.

 

[constantine Tirintzis]

Hello Peter. I am currently waiting for the new CF tubes and rods production that got a bit out of dead line, but I am expecting them this week some time so soon after that I will assemble and demonstrate.
Your Machine is getting ready soon, and believe me its veeeeerrrry goooood:crazy:

 

[constantine Tirintzis]

Hello I have just released a new version of the Gangster the Gangster One Rig that is the simplest and most cost effective configuration of a shoulder rig. It allowes you to have free control of the horizon axis with out fixed positioning and that means not only that you can dutch with out bending your body but also that you can eliminate roll rerrors while walking or running controlling from you hands. The system include a chest and shoulder
vest so you can rest the rig very confortably with out stress on your shoulder.
You can balance any camera on the quik release plate and stage with no tools in one second.
The Rig has many taps 1/4 for mounting red lcd with red arm and any other accessories.
Its frame is the strongest and most rigid frame on the market today made out of Carbon fiber highest quality 38.1 mm tubes and 6061 t6 aluminum hard anodized CNC made parts. Its very light around 1.2 kgr and can support any video or Film camera up to 30kgr of weight ( not that you want that on your shoulder)
Its the cheapest rig of my products still the strongest on the market.
Delivering 2 weeks after payment . Payment by Paypal through my webstore
Thanks
Thanks

I have added a couple of more renders just to view the concept, soon photos coming so stay tuned

For the first 10 buyers a free bracket and Carbon fiber 19mmx10mm rods to connect your red cradle at the back with lower center of gravity worth of 130 euro.

Colors only black

Any questions welcome


Here is the free bracket and Carbon 19mm rods that goes free for the 10 first buyers.
And another render with the Gangster One and back brack rod system for the cradle..

 

[constantine Tirintzis]

For the non believers.. Hello here is a quick set up of the Gangster with the vf FFocus an receiver using the T - brackets made for 19mm rods. The pad is missing from the shoulder attachment and it connects with velcro.
The shoulder angle is adjustable to any degree.
Many accessories can be mounted on either the 19mm rods or with some special brackets.
at the back you see the quick plate connector made for the red one quick plate.
This is the strongest shoulder rig on the market and it can support from EX1 STYLE CAMERAS - RED CAMERAS - 16mm and 35mm cameras up to 55 lbs if not more.
this configuration weights with vf brackets and components and ffocus 1.25 kilos ( 2.65 lbs )
It can also be configured with any of the handle bracket systems ( what you are viewing here is a few carbon rods as handles as iam expecting the systems tomorrow.
Any comments welcome
also the 19 mm rods youare viewing are just test old carbon rods the new ones are same quality and make as the big tube 19mmx10mm internal diameter unbreakable.
Unfortunately after february there will be am increase on prices due to extra costs and market situation.
I will update soon with cams as well as the new rigs MACHINE and Godfather
EDIT - JUST TO CLEAR out the plate you are viewing is an 1 year old test plate and not new..

Looking good man, keep the updates coming!

 

[constantine Tirintzis]

Thanks I will do.
Sorry for my ugly face:bigear:

Constantine - I think the gangster one seems like an awesome product at a great price point. I do have one question though - since it has its own vest and shoulder pad, does this mean the gngster one does not work with the Easy Rig? I currently have an easy rig and mantis, and am curious what benefits the gangster one would have over that setup. Lighter? Steadier shots?

 

[constantine Tirintzis]

Andrew hello.First of all to clear out things I will be updating and change the website soon as I can see it gets a bit comfussing with all these new staff and Iam still working in all different configurations as all my components are made to fit and make different set ups.
The GANGSTER ONE is the one that has a vest and shoulder padding and that is because it doesnt have a shoulder mount as the one you picture on the last photos. You rest the rig on your shoulder on the 38.1 mm central tube so its freely and not fixed. Thats why you need a vest shoulder padding so it doesnt feel uncomfortable sitting on the shoulder with the tube. But this rig if one is to use it with the easy-rig, as the easy rig supports the weight of the rig with the cord and sping you dont need this chest and shoulder vest cause there is no stress on your shoulder at all.
About weight. The rig pictured above is the Gangster and not the GangsterOne, and it has a shoulder mount an extra bracket to grip the shoulder mount and pictured is also the VF ffocus and brackets.That set up as seen weights 2.7 lbs.
So the Gangster ONE that is even lighter weights less probably around 2.2 lbs which I believe its about 1.4 lbs lighter than the Mantis. But I will update with exact specs once everything is settled. So Yes both models are way lighter.
Also you have to consider the rigid y factor both rigs of mine are beasts and that is very important.
Last both the Gangster ONE and Gangster rigs are so modular you can just about position everything anywhere and create many different set ups which can make the best possible configuration for your needs. For example you can place the red one complete with cradle and battery on the rig , or you can place the red one and split the cradle and bat at the back tail on the 19mm rods and mount it in a way that you lower the COG very drastically.
The more I play with these rigs the more ways I find to different configurations. As far as stability I believe the more ways you can adjust the components and camera on a rig the better balance you get so thats a factor for better stability.

All rigs are made and designed with components that are simple and can be configured anywhere you choose..
I have attached the handle systems the Gangster can work with together..

I will be splinting all rigs in adaptable and upgrade-able components that one can choose to buy and make the best configuration possible for his needs.
This way I believe all of my rigs can be the most modular rigs on the market and fully upgrade-able to each other creating new tools.
You can even Create a pogo cam in horizontal position, as the very first steadi rigs Garrett Brown made to start his inventions . Endless possibilities here.
Anything else you want to ask you are welcome

 

[constantine Tirintzis]

Both Gangster One and Gangster rigs work with the easyrig configuration.
Advantage less weight more modular more rigid.

[Peter Karlsson]

Wow! The new handles looks amazing, that goes for the Gangster aswell. The new CF rods looks really nice.. Very nice progress on your rigs Constantine! I love that you can mount your accessories pretty much anywhere. I wish I needed a Gangster, but I already ordered the big brother the Machine

Ill try to get my hands on one somehow as i think this is a unique piece of kit that you really need hands on with to appreciate what you can do with it. looking forward to seeing a red one mounted and flying. I love people who break the mold and try something new. applaud you for that Constantine.

Sweet progress Constantine! I think the velcro vest is a really nice way to mount the shoulder pad. Gives me flexibility and rigid mount at the same time. Im looking forward to see the Red on there Also the remote head, makes me wish I had a Jib/Crane to use it on
