Hey all,
I'm putting my Steadicam Pilot AA up for sale.
It's used but well-taken care of.
Here's the official page on it:
http://www.tiffen.com/pilot.html

Everything works and is included:
The sled (AA battery version) with SD Monitor (You can easily swap out to your own HD monitor in seconds, I had an HD Lilliput mounted on it).
The iso-elastic arm. Smooth as silk with very easy tool-free adjustment.
The vest, very comfortable and low-profile.
All of the counterweights, mounting bolts, alan wrenches, How-to DVD, etc.
Docking bracket
And the soft, fully padded, carry case that holds everything.

I've used this thing for everything from an iPhone to a Red One MX.
Though I wouldn't recommend using it for the Red One for any extended period, it is awesome with a minimalist Scarlet or Epic setup.
If you're just starting out or tried the knock-offs and want the real thing, this rig is PERFECT.
I'm in LA-area and would prefer pick-up but will ship (cost-dependent upon location).
If you live in the area I'll give you a demo/lesson on how it all works and some operating tips too.

Will post up some pics tonight.

Asking $3,300 OBO.
Thanks,
Scott

Full disclosure: I'm not actually a Reduser per se, but have been working with a lot of REDs, this site was recommended to me by some users and I read a lot of posts though I haven't posted before myself :)

Hey guys,

Scott flew this rig several times on my last feature film, shot on Scarlet-X. We captured some amazing steadicam footage. His Pilot rig works great with Scarlet/Epic when used with a lightweight set up (15mm rods, etc) or best if broken down to just body, lens, FF, etc. Scott is excellent at his craft and babies his gear all the time.

I can 100% vouch for Scott's steadicam rig and his work!
 
Hiya , how minimal are we talking for scarlet or epic have you got any pictures?

Thanks so much
Suresh,
Here's a pic of me flying it with just the body, battery and a canon still lens.

It worked great and you can see the shot at the end of my reel here (actually most of the stuff was shot with either a Scarlet or Epic):

Thanks,
