LAING steadicams, arms and vests

  • Just wondering which of the MC or XC versions of the Laing P-03 Stabilizer makes the most sense for being used with the Panasonic GH1?

  • @IronFilm

    With native m42 lenses smaller one, of you intent to get larger cam later or big manual lenses - larger one.

  • Just received my Laing P-03xc. Excited to set it up, but disappointed that there are no instructions in English included. I guess that's part of the deal.

    I'm assuming that there is a decent video tutorial somewhere and will search, but not having a basic manual in a language that I can understand is not a great start.

    Having said that, this thing is very obviously well-built. Quality seems fantastic. Very robust. More to come soon as I figure out what I am doing.

    Thanks to Vitaliy for the deal and helping answer some of my questions before and during the ordering process.

  • @Reshaydee

    Did yours come with a manual in English off of Ebay?

  • P-03 is very good steadicam, tried it some time ago. As @ozoufonoun said it is well-build.

  • Laing P-04 steadicam

  • What is the difference between the Laing P-03 and the Laing P-04?

  • What is the difference between the Laing P-03 and the Laing P-04?

    Most things are updated. Gymbal, top stage, etc.

  • My Laing P-04 arrived today i will try to post some pictures, footage later this week. No manual inside but unit itself looks really solid!

  • Just ordered my P-04 and it should be here within a week. Would love to see some test footage and other photos.

  • I had few minutes today to take a few photos and some quick footage after initial attempt to balance it. Overall Laing P-4 with GH3 and SLRMagic 12mm on top is quite heavy i need to work on my fitness :D

    Product feels really solid, thank you Vitaliy for a great deal!

    EDIT:

    Another quick video, this time i took more effort to achieve 2s drop that many tutorials refer to and i have less tilting to the sides. In both I'm holding Laing with one hand I need to learn how to properly operate it with both hands.

    I'm not sure if I'm doing something incorrectly (i put my GH3 + Voigtlander 25mm in the middle of the plate) but turning any of the knobs even little bit sends camera completely off balance anyway i will keep experimenting until i find decent setup. Getting some nice quick release place wouldn't hurt as well! :)

  • Has anyone used this combo: Laing M-30 Stabilizer (P-04 paired with vest and arm)? I have found it on eBay (US) but shipping to EU direct from manufacturer is quite high.

    I was wondering if anyone has used this and any opinions would be appreciated.

  • So I'm missing one of the two carbon fibre tubes for the P-03

    It is the one which slides inside the other one.

    In the description for the P-03 it says "center connection pole diameter (inside)", does that mean this would be the appropriate replacement part to buy:

  • Have no idea. You need to measure inside diameter using good tool first.

    Current one comes with modified P-04 :-) and it is amazing set. You can find one on our deals http://www.personal-view.com/deals/stabilizers-steadicams-gimbals/laing
