Hi, what battery and monitor have you used with the Laing?

I am going through all sorts of fun to try and get this bit of kit working. Connection plates for the FS700 etc.

Can you help please?

Hey, i'm thinking of purchasing the Laing Stabilizer (0.5-5kg) because I use dslrs and two sony digital camcorders (The NX70u & the HXRMC2000u) so I think that this would be the better buy because I know the larger steadicam with the dual arm is specifically for larger cameras and wont balance my cameras properly.

In reply to Nasir Rahim. @Nasir Rahim - A glidecam works great with 7D. Which version so you have because ideally the stabilizer should be as small as possible and is loaded up close to it's max weight capacity. If the stabilizer is too big it will flop all over.

Also would a 20mm or 28mm prime lens work when flying?

@Peter thanks for the input I own a Fly Cam 3000 and a shoulder rig so I am looking into a rig that fly large studio rigs. I was kind of planning on making some sort of attachable weight system to counter balance the DSLR.

In reply to Greg. @Greg - Yes you can always load up the weight to reach the minimum required. This is not always ideal though when you just need a quick shot in with a small camera. This is the reason why I own several products. One just for light cameras, and one for heavier cameras.
