This is a lightweight Steadicam I put together a few years ago as a running rig companion to my big rig, then it turned out to be quite the useful piece of gear as the DSLR explosion happened. For cameras up to 20 lbs or so, this rig is KILLER. Perfect for Scarlet, Epic, C300, F3. No compromise in performance, all the nuance of a big rig. And it’s modular, so you can upgrade bits and piece as you see fit. Sled weight as seen here (without batteries, which are not included in the sale): 10 lbs.
This sucker served me well on a myriad of music videos, commercials, pilots etc over the past three years. It flew the first 1DMKIV with Vincent Laforet on "Nocturne", the 5D with Primos on "Act of Valor" (seen below). I'll stop short of calling it "legendary", but there's some history there!
It can run a single battery for 12v and two for 12/24v. Battery plates can be quickly removed and mounted anywhere on the rods via thumbscrew. Monitor and rods can be extended for maximum inertia as required.
PRO DBII
PRO J-box, modified for HD
PRO Center post (old style bayonet)
Tiffen Provid gimbal, modified to 5/8” armpost
Hill docking clamps (comes with GPI style dock with balance pin and gorelock front, not pictured)
XCS telescoping monitor arm
Nebtek Solar7 HD monitor with electronic level module
MKV lower junction box, modified for HD
Custom battery plates and rods
Tiffen G40 arm
Soft bag for arm, custom foamed Storm case for sled
No vest included--I've sold my PRO vest separately. People like to have the choice of front or backmount, and besides this rig might be attractive to someone who has a full-size setup already.

(there's a lot of other goodies up for sale there, both Steadicam and non-Steadicam--click on the "complete list" link at the top)
Asking: $18,000
