14Sep Skier DSLR Equipment Videos
Here’s a couple of quality videos from Vimeo member FilmCyfrowy showcasing some Skier DSLR Video equipment. Skier is fairly new and is still building up their product line. They have an unusual cage-like design that wraps over the camera lens, a Follow Focus, ViewFinder, Small Transformer rig, and a Merlin-like stabilizer which seems to perform well.
Company information found at at their website luck-in.com, but so far they only have pricing on one item listed in their eBay store (found here).

Doesn’t look that comfortable.

hi
expansive promo films, nice grade and all that
but looking closely at the clips, it doesn’t seem to offer anything new or special, the way the follow focus attached to the rig looked archaic compared to the quick release options you get now on most follow focus units.
there where other things in there too, but wish them well

The follow focus looks to be using the well known Huco gearbox… take a closer look at the pictures on the eBay auction. I think I can see the distinct ’square shape with two opposite holes’ gearbox there.

Looks like a nice, compact system. They just have to figure out how to get it to shoulder better than that brace.

I pray to god that that mattebox is only 100$!

Doubt it since they have that little rig up there for $850ish.
I don’t think these are going to be budget options.

Hey peoples,
The DSLR follow focus kit video at the top has been replaced with a much nicer design with carbon rails ( http://www.luck-in.com/archives/508 )
I am setup as the UK seller for Skier products and have this item.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding any of the rigs and I will try to help best I can.

@Eirik & @Kenrik
The rig on ebay is being sold by the company and me for $657 (£400)
and this includes a follow focus too!

This kit has been superseded by another rig (see my earlier post) which is a lot nicer.
Thanks

Well knowledge you have indeed.

Purchased O Ring handle from Inrahim (Nomad) and super service – good stuff IMHO and as cheap lighter and more compact than a chunky C rig.
