The Steadicam and Tiffen websites experienced downtime for approximately a week due to the companies relocating their physical facilities to Glendale, California.
Tiffen and Steadicam consolidated their manufacturing and sales operations into a single facility located on the border between Glendale and Burbank.
Three new Steadicam systems were introduced around the time of the relocation: the Vector (available in Film and Video versions), the Clipper (Video), and the Flyer, all of which were shipping with available service and parts support.
Tiffen Company headquarters is located in Hauppauge, New York, while Steadicam operations moved to a facility in Glendale, California.

Website accessibility issues were reported from multiple countries (UK, US, New Zealand) but may have been DNS-related rather than definitively caused by the relocation.
The exact timeline of when websites returned to full functionality was not clearly specified in the discussion.
