Hello all.
This is an update on the shoulder mount line support systems.

I have made a decision to give a more unique option to my shoulder mount line.

So after I have redesigned the total rigs, I will now offering a unique option of a hybrid shoulder mount that will be able to transport from the Gangster to the Godfather to the Machine, so one can buy the total rig and parts and convert it into which any mount its best for his use .
If he likes the Gangster he can do this in minutes, or convert to any other of the 2 options in minutes as well.

This has started over with a client of mine that he felt he can use any option at any time he likes and it will also keep the over all product line more tidy.

So I will be updating the website in a few weeks with the new rigs and prices
and Iam pretty sure this will be a good and more option rich product for any use.

So it will be one kit for all, at a new price. Also a Kenyon mount will be added for those who d like to use KS-6,8 line for stabilizing.

For any info please contact me ..


stay tuned.

Thank you.
 
:) Sounds great constantine! I like that you work very very hard on your products, since Im buying anything your doing haha
 
Looks good, although it is noticeable to see there are gyros involved; the footage has those very small sudden jerky (mostly horizontal) "twitches". Would be interested in seeing a photo of the rig.
 
Well gyros dont like rapid pans, they kick back . I could easily get away with slow panning but I just wanted to take it to its limits.And its only one gyro which makes it more difficult as pan axis isnt stabilized,
I didnt have a monitor either so I had to view from camera lcd very close to my face which didnt help as iqm over 40 well 45 ha ha ha and I was looking through a blair view.
the lens was something equivalent to 40-50 for 35 so its not a very wide lens .
Photos tomorrow Iam very sleepy its 3.18 in the morning .
Thanks Tony

Edit- there is jerky movement every 1 second on all footage and thats from video compression, its not there on original footage, god I hate video stuff and computers ha ha ha
 
In fact before I sleep I have just counted the dropping frames jerks on the total video and there are 337 of them , they come like every second like a pulse and depending on the motion of thecamera they are more or less obvious .And I probably missed a lot of them as well counting.
I have to find a way to upload this with out compression, its like they are frames missing , and they f..k uo the total footage.
The original footage is fluid.
Goodnight
 
Hey Cliff Thanks. I am producing my own designs, Iam currently working on the dolly and head. It will take a while as we have done tons of changes and redesigning .
3 axis head, dolly, and later jib all moco.3d ready.

Spend the few bucks and sign up for a Vimeo Pro account - rocks so much more than everything else out there :-)
 
Hello. Just to clarify, this is handheld shooting, with the shoulder mounts, and people should look at this as a hand held device, just giving more stable results than other handheld, being a bridge in between hand held and steadicam.
The best solution for this is using 2 gyros to stabilize all axis . Using just one as I did will improve , but one axis will be unstable, and having the other 2 smoother will show.
I believe that with even 2 KS4 gyros , using light weight cameras, will result in very smooth footage stabilizing all axis. Of course the results from shooting from vehicles or aerial are much better as walking isnt involved, so its very good for this.
A couple of small clips uploading.
Thanks
 
That music is killing me. Get rid of it - or make it so that you have to turn it on instead of just playing it by default :-)
 
ha ha ha Tony you are something you know that?
Are you Danish by the way?
I will be coming to Denmark when the moco system is ready, and Sweden also , so If you like I will let you know and you can come over to see my works.
I m sure Fredrick doesnt mind :)
next time let me know what kind of music do you like ha ha ha
 
Yeah - I'm danish and I'd love to see the system first hand. Let me know when you'll be here.

Actually - I thought the music was good, but I've been building websites since the early nineties and music like that on a web-page drives me crazy. I guess I've seen too many sites use it the wrong way when webdesigners discovered Flash (called Futuresplash way back when...). I guess it depends on the site. If it's an "experience" website then I guess some kind of music is okay, but yours felt kinda intrusive in relation to the content and products you are trying to promote. Make the site VERY simple - the simpler it is the easier it will be for potential customers to understand the nature of your products.
 
the website I am building right now I believe apart of the flash stuff its very nice and simple to go through, and I will minimize pages and web shop of the products discripion and characteristics as well as buy on line.
Iam just waiting for good photos and finalizing the systems to do this.
Now I kinda like music in websites if its not a loop, as Iam a musician my self, but I agree that some will not like it so its good that one can turn it off.
i hope you like the rest cause Iam not going to go through criticism about my website now, I mean if you look around there are even some very poor and not detailed websites from companies that have been around for many years which I believe is not acceptable .
Its simple , direct, and spot on ( when its done) with some simple flash tools and thats all there is to it.Flash doesnt stop customers to understand the content and specs of products, not mine anyway.
thanks Tony
 
Yeah. No need for the music. I was listening to a new music mix I made yesterday and went to check out your new website. But when I heard the music on your website playing over my music I had to close the page. I figured I would check the site later but of course I still haven't got around to it yet....

Just one example why there is no need.
