I appreciate all the info you pros have posted out here. I was wondering if any of you (pros or newbies) would like to comment on the FS-Pro 1 or Varizoom's Prolite. I know several of you don't have a high view of the flowpod, but didn't know if anyone had tried out the dual-articulating arms of the prolite. I am flying the XLH1 and XL2 at weddings, so not a lot of running, etc. Just looking for something to provide some gliding action. My budget is $4K or less, but would really like a dual arm rig.

I say do the test yourself. I personally haven't tested this model but if the chance came about I would. But the surest thing is if you have the chance is to make your own assessments. But as you mentioned Tom that you only looking at doing slow moving shots; then I think a simple handheld would do. Then again, if you tend on doing it for longer scenes then an arm and vest system would work better. I think for what you want to achieve the system will do the job. I think almost any low end rig might just carry out the job without any major problems using the weight you requested. The rest would be just practicing. I have to take a another look at the model you are referring to because I have forgotten what it looks like.

It's good to have a long time operator to justify my assessments.
