Advantages: - The materials of the vest and the plate/arms are of high quality. - It seems that the vest can be adjusted for a good fit. - Good lumbar support from the back pad. - The arm works very well and moves very smoothly - The adjustment knobs are easy to adjust. Cons: - Almost impossible to replace the springs. It cannot be done by 1 person and still takes at least 20-30 minutes. This is a serious design flaw that should be fixed or the device will become unusable if you don't have anโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons

The seller used a marker to hide scratches

The product I received was not new. I wiped mine with alcohol because I noticed grease stains on the vest. I actually ended up rubbing out some pretty decent scratches and dents with a marker or black marker, exposing the bare metal. Looks like they tried to cover it up with permanent marker and pass it off as new. Some of the plastic buckles were scratched and frayed. The lever works pretty well and stabilizes and holds my 10.5 lb rig well, I have blue springs a few turns of max. I am veryโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • So far so good

Not perfect, but better than Tiffen?

Well for the price I love it! The materials are ok but the quality control is not. My vest arrived with some screws. Not very reassuring when you put a lot of money into it. That being said, check and tighten all the screws and you should be fine! I had a Tiffen arm and vest that cost nearly four times as much. and let me tell you The Tiffen vest wasn't that good! It broke down on me and it was agony getting in and out. It's much better in many ways. More comfortable too. The hand is why Tiffen

Compared to the actual SteadiCam owner/operator, that's great.

As the owner of real SteadiCams, I have to say that I really like this device. My SteadiCam is rated for up to 30 pounds. However, with gimbals, DSLRs, and smartphones, the payload is around 5 pounds when fully loaded with extras like lights, mics, AV transmitters, etc. My SteadiCam is far too powerful. This device is like owning two SteadiCams in one. I can handle current payloads. I can even fly it with my mini dart (like the Tango). Considering my SteadiCam cost over $14,000, that's a $375โ€ฆ

Pros
  • handy thing
Cons
  • so-so

Definitely the best bangs for a vest, just be prepared to touch it up.

Big complaint. The yellow springs (the lightest) were processed incorrectly. When I installed them, the first spring fitted well. The 2nd spring when I installed the barrel seal that goes in the spring can tap a little to remove and install it uh. There was a cone in the hole on the 2nd spring that wasn't noticed until I put the bushing in and pinned it. I had to cut open the sleeve to get it out and put it back together with the pieces I had at home. I didn't need the yellow springs so I threw

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Boring packaging
