I can relate. That's why I'm trying to get Cody's "redesign" of the MK3 arm made. Isoelastic... *drool*

I never figured I'd be doing all
that much video shooting (especially since I lost my support crew...) so I always figured the front mount vest would work fine. Plus, as you said, Cody's design of the vest is pretty cool. I'm hoping that Jesse is aboe to get his vest "kits" done "soon" so I can use that as a pattern base, and add the adjustable metal breast plate as seen in Cody's plans. Just have to wait and see how it all falls togeather.
When you built yours, did you do as it was suggested and build your gimble first, or did you do the vest/arm first?
Also, the video on your site, was that shot using the pvc pipe rig, or your cody rig? It seemed like you needed to balence your unit a bit more to remove the "rocking" motion. Still, always cool to see what people have done with what they've built.
