Does anyone know of a readily accessible location to buy the steadi-style vest connector block?

I'm thinking of making my rig a hybrid of the MK3/MK3A style, combined with the adjustability of Cody's vest.

Thanks,

Russ

... but what I really want to do is direct.

No stabilizer completed yet. Sad

Sorry, I have no idea.

New vest is just about finished.

Cody,

What software(s) do you use for your solids Modeling/Rendering?

(The file on the previous page: arm9.jpg is amazing!)

3ds Max?

Also, what Image Size do you normally use when you post?

(Width Pixels X Height Pixels X Pixels/Inch)

Thanks, Michael.  I've been using Alias's Maya for about 4 years now.  I've got piles upon piles of 3D rendered steadicam-related models and animations on my harddrive.  I had to invest in something I felt was very good because I use it in my line of work quite often, not to mention my hobbies as well.  I usually post pics no bigger than 450 pixels wide and not more than 500 tall.  Based on a low-end 800 x 600 screen size for people with smaller monitors, I don't want the pics too big.  If I render a hi-rez pic, I'll take it into photoshop, resize, and compress it for the web to keep the file size low.

Here's some I did for Charles a couple years back that I always thought were cool:

Cody,

You're good...you're VERY good.

You told me the H pixels X V Pixels however, you

didn't tell me the Pixels/Inch. (DPI) I would appreciate the info.

I'm not sure but there should be a plan in the tips section of the hbs website. Have you checked there?

I couldn't find anything there. I saw a metric one on this forum but I doubt that it would fit Cody's design. I would like to build Cody's female socket but I am hesitant to do that without having plans for a male counterpart.
