15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Genesis sled feels more rigid and inert compared to Tiffen rigs due to different design approaches
- MK-V equipment is modular and can accommodate various gimbal sizes and post configurations
- Operators report that owning the same rig platform as colleagues in your market area enables convenient gear sharing and interchangeability
- Multiple owners report positive experiences with MK-V service quality and responsiveness from company support
- The Genesis sled with 1.5 inch gimbal and 2 stage post can support substantial camera weights
- Buying gear that is prevalent among operators in your geographic market provides practical advantages for freelance work
Depends on
- The thread discusses MK-V company service as it existed around 2011, which may not reflect current practices
- Most comparison opinions come from individual operators with different shooting styles and camera packages
- Limited specific technical depth about Genesis sled behavior in various operating conditions and modes
