Testing and Playing with Chinese Steadicam ($1300) at NYC REDuser's Meeting (Finalfootage.com)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9vR0h9-sA0
NO FF, NO Slate, simple gears used to test stabilization only (All camera ins't sync, may have little delayed)

At the last minute we decided to test the system at worst place (lol).
Five sharp (worst) turns and Five Sharp turns in Reverse Walk Down on 4 feet wide Alley with bunch of obstacle in a middle.

We took only 1 Take, All done within 30 minute (including balancing the rig).

Believe me, I am testing all kinda' Steadicam for last 7 years and this? under $1500? Rig is amazing...
Thanks to Mr. John Galeano to bringing his system

WARNING: When you buy, make sure you buy newer version with chest and arm adjustable bridge plate.

If the wholesale price is right I'd be interested in the group buy.

 

[Brad Webb]

I am also interested in the group buy price.
Any ideas how much weight the new version can handle?
