Arricam LT Steady test

[Edward Hiscox]

Hello, 

I am shooting my first low budget project on 35mm with an Arricam LT. 

The Kit room has asked me if I want to steady test the camera, with the price of the test + purchasing the stock and processing fees. 

I was wondering if it is necessary to perform a steady test?

Thank you in advance!

Are you renting the Arricam LT from the Kit Room? If that is the case you shouldn't have to pay for the steady test. If the camera is from somewhere else and you don't know its history, a steady test is a good idea.

Thank you! All sorted with the kit room, the camera had recently been steady tested, so I decided to risk it.
