Chrosziel Rig sled characteristics, pricing, and user experiences
22 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Rig sled features a modular battery system, four-stage expandable post, tilting stage option, and 12/24v compatibility.
- The Rig Light model was priced around 15500 euros without monitor, while the full Rig with four-times expandable post and electronic level was approximately 18000 euros without monitor.
- The post diameter is 2 inches.
- An optional tilt plate was available for around 1000 euros.
- Hands-on users found the Rig to be versatile, strongly constructed, with notably effective green screen, frame line, and bubble level.
- The Rig was primarily sold in Europe but not in the UK market at the time of discussion.
- The Rig was not available in the United States during this period.
- The Rig represents competitive pricing compared to professional-tier alternatives like Steadicam.
- Material selection and craftsmanship were considered high quality, comparable to top-tier rigs.
- The Rig functions as a sled component rather than a complete system and requires pairing with a separate arm and vest.
Depends on
- Limited user base with few people owning or having tried the equipment at the time of discussion.
- Availability outside Europe was minimal, limiting direct access to demonstrations for potential buyers in other regions.
- One user chose an alternative product instead of purchasing despite positive impressions.
- Availability as a complete integrated system was not offered; users needed to source arm and vest components separately.
- Discussion occurred in 2004, making current availability and pricing information potentially outdated.
