Valuation factors for a used Steadicam Master rig

20 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The condition of the arm, sled, batteries, and monitor significantly impacts the resale value of a Steadicam Master system
  • A well-maintained Master rig with arm, vest, sled, stand and batteries in good original condition may be worth around 12,921.13 GBP
  • An ex-rental rig without recent service on the arm or sled and with unreplaced batteries will command a lower price than one in well-maintained condition
  • The history of ownership and extent of visible wear and damage should be factored into pricing negotiations

Depends on

  • Pricing information is from 2006 and may not reflect current market values
  • The specific estimate given depends on numerous variables including service history, component condition, battery recell status, and monitor type
  • The estimate provided was based on limited information about the specific rig being valued
