Still available? Also, are you flexible on the price?

Crazy… that camera is worth twice as much now.

I quickly googled that Panasonic, from the specs it looks like it is a lot lighter than an ARRI Alexa Classic. (the bare bones 

Thus have a think, if you found that lightweight camera to be "a bit of a pain", imagine how bad life would be with an even heavier build on the FS8 tripod? 

I too strongly recommend you get at least a 100mm bowl tripod head. 

You're going to find life is in general harder to shoot with an Alexa & a micro crew, vs using a HPX3000 & micro crew, thus why make your life even tougher by using a tripod which isn't up to the task?

True. But to be fair, the total payload was appox 26 lbs, and I can't remember if it was the FS6 or 8. With the exception of the occasional balancing, things were reasonable. 

That being said, I agree; I don't want to risk an oopsy moment and lose an Alexa over a tripod that doesn't match. 

It looks like Benro has reasonably priced tripods with 100mm. I'd be curious if anyone's ever used their fluid heads -- it'd be great if you can swap-out the sticks with a Flowtech.

Thanks for the note; I never understood what would make the difference between 75 vs 100. 

They also have the aktiv10 with a 100mm, but it has the same payload. 

I've filmed with an Sachtler FS8 using a Panasonic HPX3000, Fujinon lenses, and Anton batteries, it was a little bit of a pain to keep balanced at times, but overall it worked.  Other than balancing, I am not sure what else would be the issue -- perhaps stripping the fluid head overtime? 

Have an Alexa Plus 4:3 that I am looking for a new tripod. I am curious if the new sachtler aktiv 8 with the flowtech 75. The payload is 26.5 on the fluid head and 44 lb on the sticks, but I think that should be fine.

Any thoughts on that?

Very interesting package. Albeit a bit heavy, but super rare. Why are you parting with it, if I may ask? 

Is the package still available? 

Any updates on the Mavo Edge release date or is it DOA? I am actually thinking about purchasing this one and running tests with it to share results with others. 

Gotcha. Yeah... seller confirmed that. 

Glad you made this. Wish it was in English. There is not a lot out there about this camera. I’ve been looking to buy one. 

Did you end up selling the camera?

Hey Joel, 

As Tyler said the camera sold. I do have a BL4 4perf package available if your interested shoot me a DM

Let me know if you have a 4 perf available. The original listing price was great. There's someone trying to sell a non 4-perf Aaton 35-3 on ebay for $9,500 (that's a bit more than I am willing to spend).
