View Full Version : CinemaStyle shoulder support
Charles King May 3rd, 2003, 03:53 PM Okay everyone. I've just put together the shoulder support I had written about in my other threads. I had gotten offers from people who were interested in purchasing the system I had done.So I have made a prototype of one that I am or will eventually sell. Take a look at it and see if it sweetens your taste buds. The link is Here: http://www.homebuiltstabilizers.com/gadgets%20&%20accessories.html
Then click on the link that says CinemaStyle.
Bryan Beasleigh May 3rd, 2003, 06:48 PM We really need more accessories developed by end users like yourself. Stuff that's really usable.
Charles King May 3rd, 2003, 07:40 PM That's exactly what the goal is. ;)
Bryan Beasleigh May 3rd, 2003, 07:42 PM So when can I order one :))
Charles King May 3rd, 2003, 08:51 PM I'm glad you're eager Bryan. Like I mentioned on the page; at least a month or two from now. I have to get some other specifications. Also, I want to get at least a minimum of 10 orders before doing the first batch. Remember, I'm doing this all by myself apart from one small amount of machining, that will be made by my machinist. I will also give´an exact pricing including t´he postage/handling charge for both the US and Europe. Stay tuned.

Jason Balich May 5th, 2003, 11:22 AM What is the shoulder mount made of? What is the weight? Another question I have is, if im holding onto the handles... How can i press record and stop, not to mention zooming. I'm a newbee to filming, so be gentle. It looks realy interesting though.
Charles King May 5th, 2003, 02:42 PM Hi Jason. The mount is made out of light steel weighing in at about 1kg. Well Jason, in order to operate the zoom,stop etc. while holding the rig you'll have to get a LANC and attach it to the handle. I'm in the process of making an adapter so that would be possible.
Jason Balich May 5th, 2003, 03:01 PM Sounds awsome. Ill keep watch on your site. I do get irritated with having to take my footage into a tracker and stabalizing the video all the time. I have been tryign to find something i can use while walking around. Whats the price range going to be on this?
Charles King May 5th, 2003, 05:22 PM I will put it up on the site when I finalize everything but it'll be somewhere i the neighborhood of between 150-180 dollars. I'm still coming up with new ideas to be added.
Rob Lohman May 6th, 2003, 08:46 AM I'll probably have an interest in this as well. Please keep us posted
on updates, prices and availability.
Thanks!!! Very much appreciated.
Charles King May 6th, 2003, 09:38 AM Glad to be of some use :)
Dylan Couper May 6th, 2003, 09:56 AM Don't forget to put some padding on the shoulder support!
Charles King May 6th, 2003, 10:02 AM The thought had crossed my mind.
