Vests and arms for steadicams topic

This is topic about various chinese (ONLY chinese!) produced vests and arms for them.

I'll try to focus on double arm designs (aka double spring arms) as they are preferable.

First, vest and arm from Wondlan Leopard 2 set:

Not cheap, but as far as I asked operators this is among best chinese vests.

It is offered as option to Wondlan Carbon stabilizer in our deals.

Quite good opinions about them. Good quality.

First, more light set, for cameras up to 7.5kg.

One for 7-15kg range comes in case:

Hello,

I know there is a topic on certain Laing stabilizers, but has anyone used this model? The price is just what I need for an upcoming job, any opinions would be much appreciated.

Could anyone let me know how to set up a stabiliser vest-arm?

I have a generic 5000 series stabiliser that I use by hand. Now through the wonders of the P-V deals I have the 1-7kg version by CAME.

There wasn't an instruction manual so I've had a bit of a play and run about outside with it.

I think that it has to be set as low as possible because the GH2 is so light. At the moment I can still do a better job by hand. I did have a go at running for which I got a better result -- but not like the smoothness in the demo videos.

Could anyone point me in the right direction --- Thanks ..
