Topic: titanium EFP post with homemade base for sale (Read 799 times)
|

After an upgrade I'm selling my good old titanium EFP sled. It's an original Cinema Products post with a homebuilt base. I used the system for 2 years until I exchanged it for a carbon fibre post recently.
When I bought it, the post came with a very slight ding about 5 cm below the top. It was probably caused by hitting the safety pin of the docking bracket. It's very small and probably can not even be seen in the picture. However I reinforced that area with a piece of aluminum tube I press fitted and glued inside the main post to be 100 percent sure in case of a hairline crack. The gimbal still slides perfectly over that area.
I also reinforced the inner post. The original inner post of the EFP had a slot that made it quite instable if extended too much. That's why I slided a machined aluminum tube inside at the whole length and added a new, toolfree clamp.
The post worked very well, even completely extended and I had great trust in it. The only reason for upgrading was that I wanted a superpost capable system and a more modular wiring (with the cables not soldered right into their plugs). Now the base is empty and you might add plugs to allow for a quick disassembling.
The asking price is 500 USD.

Still a good looking post for lucky person. The work is already half done.

That's right, the base is included with this price. I paid 380 Euro for the post alone when I bought it so I think it's really a good deal. However, I should point out again that the base is completely homebuilt using my desktop mill and a drill press. Though the brackets do slide on the rods it is not as effortless as if they where cnc machined. I put a lot of work into building the base but I decided to count the material costs only for that reason (raw aluminium, toolfree clamp and anodizing material). |

No, the item is still for sale. I'd prefer to sell post and base together, either €350 or USD 500 + shipping. Would fit together with Eugenio's gimbal to give an almost complete sled  . |
