The Steadicam Pilot is suitable for travel to remote locations where gear needs to fit in a backpack and air travel is required
Birns & Sawyer rents Steadicam Pilot systems for approximately $150 per day
Samy's Camera rents Steadicam Pilot systems for approximately $250 per day
The Nimblecam is heavier and requires two cases for transport but provides stabilization performance comparable to full-size rigs
Rental houses in Los Angeles including Birns & Sawyer, Samy's Camera, and Indie Rentals carry different stabilization equipment options

Pricing information is from 2010 and may not reflect current rental rates
Availability and specific rental terms depend on the rental house and time of booking
The Nimblecam requires two cases for transport, making it less portable than the Pilot despite better performance
