[Phil Kindred]

Boy, do I envy you guys!  That must be truly awesome.

[Phil Kindred]

One more thing--did Tiffen show the G70 arm?

[Tim Le]

Man, look at Garrett and that big grin of his. What a great guy to pose with you all.

So fess up, who's who?! Looks like a lot of fun!

There's also a Steadicam logo on that off-road Segway!

[Tom Wills]

Yeah, Jerry Hill modified it for Steadicam use. It's controlled via the op's feet. Tiffen's planning on selling it from what I know.

I would have done almost anything to have been there. A shame that it's kinda... real far away. I might end up meeting Garrett anyways, as he still lives in my general vicinity.

I put the names under the foto's.

One more thing--did Tiffen show the G70 arm?

Yeah Phil. Tiffen did show it and I flew it  . A fantastic arm I must say. You just have to try it. It's a beauty. I also tried the new Glidecam v-25, Gold, shooter, klassen back mount, Steadicam's new G70 arm with the ultra, Steadicam flyer arm(now black) with a 235 film camera and others. Also talked to Walter Klassen himself, designer of the klassens back mount, who is truely a nice guy. He gave us homebuilt stabilizer guys some tips on what materials to use in building out back mounts. He litterally removed the back padding and showed us the different types of materials he used. Shocked, well, I was too. Again a wonderful guy. Garret was also a character. Always jovial.  . I'll post pics and some reviews on some of the products. So many things to say but I'll do a report when I get back on wednesday. BTW, Garret asked me for a signed copy of my other books  He asked me. Wow! What an honered... so I gave it him  Will put up the 200 and so pics with all the rigs and famous people I met. Both pro's and HBS members. Also that AR Alien is something else. You just have to see it to believe. Amazing stuff.

I just have one thing to say guys. HBS is now, officially, in the circles of the steadicam, glidecam, MK-v community. We are now known all over the world, by more or less, by operators. I was very surprised to know how many people knew about us. It's incredible. You all should be proud to  be part of this.

See you guys later.

Hi All,

Thought I was already a member on this forum, but forgot what kind of username was entered then.. so, I give it a new shot.

The IBC was once again great like it is for years now.., little bit sad that I have missed many members from different Steadicam forums, but i did finally met Charles King himself. I saw his face and was thinking ' I known that guy'. only 2 minutes later he did some attemps to fly the smooth shooter without hands on the gimbal, at that moment i did regonized him from the great Steadicam Flyer video review !!

Only one photo to upload from here.. and ok ok, it is me... Just having fun with the Gold system from Glidecam.

Rgds, Erik
