Hi There! Here's the task: For an upcoming feature (which will mainly be shot "handheld") the DOP wants to use a bungee-camera-mount on a regular basis. Our main work-horse on this will be a "Rickshaw"-Dolly ( http://www.rickshawdolly.com/en/tech/t1.html ) on which I'm going to install a gibbet(?) out of speedrail to mount the bungee. But for some very narrow indoor sets the plan is to rig the bungee to a tube which is mounted on two stands (e.g. heavily bagged low-boys) - and for this set up the DOP wants a moveable mount, meaning travelling on the tube, if possible also in the "ON". Has anyone done something like this before (best would be if incorporating standard grip-/rigging-equipment)? If yes, any photos of the rigs would be highly apreciated! Thanks!

Hey there! Thanks for your replys, guys! I'm going to check out the head on monday next week - we'll see! Now a colleague of mine came up with the idea to spent some more money and buy a new and more modern head capable of motion control for a reasonable price. He proposed the "CinemaPro" made by VariZoom (I think it is also known as the "Talon"-head) - has anyone any experience with this one? Any kind of feedback, experiences, citics is warmly welcome!

First of all I'd like to say "Hello!" to all of you since I'm new here! My Name is Erik and I'm a Grip from Leipzig/Germany. For some time I've been looking for a used Remote Head to buy. Right now I found an offer of a "CAMS Revolution" - Remote Head (like the one shown here http://www.innovision-optics.com/gallery/cams.shtml ). Since I don't know this head I would like to ask if anyone around here has any experience with this system? Is it strong enough to carry 35mm camera packages (like e.g. an ARRICAM ST or alike)? And if so is its performance sufficiently for the use in feature films (when looking for the system on the internet, it seems it's mostly used in the broadcast business)? Thanks for your advice and merry christmas and a happy new year to all of you!
