Also apprehensive at first. I have to say I was shocked as well at how super fast their deliveries came. The packaging was super. And the material they use for construction is top-notch. Nothing flimsy. It's all superior material. I just got a steadicam arm support, the quick-release camera mount, and a matte box with rail mount for my Sony Z5U from them. I have nothing but praise for the equipment. Also, before purchasing, I had emailed them with some questions. They immediately replied and seemed super nice and professional and eager to help out anyway they could. I’ve purchased stuff from these guys in India, too. Also apprehensive at first.

It's good to hear they are a legitimate company, and the product is good for the price, thought they were scamming...Lol...THanks Good info, I was a little skeptical of this company, I thought the prices were to good to be true, based on the prices for the Redrock Micro Rig thats over priced.

]]> Comment on 9 Tips for a Smoother Low Budget Film Production by Bobby http://www.filmsensei.com/2009/06/8-tips-for-a-smoother-low-budget-film-production/comment-page-1/#comment-383 Bobby Fri, 19 Feb 2010 17:05:16 +0000 http://www.filmsensei.com/?p=102#comment-383 Mat, I'm in the pre-production stage of shooting my first short film and am interested in more detail about #7: Get releases and contracts signed. This will probably not fully apply to me since I am doing the film for school and working with a professor but for the future or even for this project (something i may not have thought about) what types of releases do you require crew and cast to sign and where can I get these release forms. Since I am not paying anyone and do not plan on trying to distribute for profit am I exempt from these things or should I still have some general things signed. Again, this is my first project, so I can really use all the advice I can get at this point. I appreciate your site, and look forward to a response. Bobby Mat,
