Now this is how the flyer should be flown...
« on: February 13, 2006, 07:13:42 AM »

with a 235 model nr. film camera. Oh how sweet it is! And the smoothness of this setup. Can't say enough. Just gotta try it.  Cheesy Grin Black suits it so much better than the original color. BTW, that's Hans in the back ground following me with a steadicam G50 setup.



Us - posing for the camera. i guess mose of you have already these in the gallery but I just wanted to show the flyer setup:

It registers at right around 15 pounds, the weight limit of the Flyer.

The body and view finder weighs just under 8 lbs. So with the film magazine it should come up to around 14lbs-15lbs.

Thanks Charles, the size of the sled post does little for me, but then I am a magiqcam user and the small post on mine does not look (or feel) strong....

The post is small but it's the impression of the flyer that gets my thumbs up.

If you check the reference pics section or a lot of past posts, you will discover it was IBC in Amsterdam.
