18 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The ten-pound weight limit for a Steadicam Pilot includes any counterbalance weights added to the bottom of the rig.
- The ten-pound weight limit includes the battery pack powering the Steadicam but excludes the monitor.
- Adapters may be available to use a 12-volt power connector with a 7.2-volt camera, though compatibility should be verified with the manufacturer.
Depends on
- The power adapter compatibility was not definitively confirmed in the thread.
- The discussion focuses on a specific camera model from 2008 and may not apply to current equipment.
