What the thread found

• The Phantom is a two-post sled design featuring a tilt head, motor capability, G-70 arm, and Ultra 2 vest with no-tools operation
• The Phantom is designed for video and film applications and can accommodate camera loads up to 70 pounds with appropriate configuration
• Tiffen offers multiple rig models to serve different market segments, camera weight ranges, and price points rather than a one-size-fits-all approach
• Each Steadicam model uses components matched to its weight class and intended purpose, such as lighter socket blocks for smaller rigs to avoid unnecessary costs
• Components like socket blocks, arm posts, and dovetails across different Steadicam models maintain interchangeability where appropriate so users can mix and match parts
