Overview

The Flycam Vista-II Arm and Vest Stabilizer from Proaim features a lightweight, foam-padded vest offering a universal fit, adjustable from 28 to 60" waist sizes. The vest is secured with push-fit buckles and hook-and-loop fastener straps that adjust to your size. Height is also adjustable between the waist and shoulders at the pull of a height-adjustment knob provided on the chest plate. The vest is made of thin aluminum plates, foam, and breathable synthetic fabric. All these features ensure a relatively lightweight and comfortable fit.

The vest and arm combined support up to 33 lb and allow you to highly stabilize your shots for extended periods with nearly eliminated stress on the arms and shoulders. The Vista-II enables you to follow your subject in just about any scenario. You can walk, run, or climb stairs, and much more, achieving consistently smooth cinematic shots while your hips, legs, and body absorb the weight of the load, leaving your hands free to focus on the camera angle.

The shock-absorbing arm has multiple joints of articulation and features a dual-spring design. The joints and springs are what stabilize the load by isolating shake and vibration. Furthermore, the elasticity of the springs is adjustable via a knob for different shooting conditions. The arm securely attaches to the vest on one end and extends out a maximum length of 21". The mounting platform for your load is a 16mm diameter post that supports direct attachment of mechanical gimbals such as the Glidecam 4000. Additionally, 19 and 22mm bushings are included for compatibility with other gimbals and supports.

Two sets of tension springs are supplied with the arm for different weight capacities, and they're color coded on the ends to make them distinguishable from one another. The blue springs are for loads weighing 4.4 to 13 lb, and the red springs are for 13 to 33 lb loads.

      Pick-Up Discrepancies


      Orders made during our closed hours will not be processed until the next morning that we are open and therefore will allow for some discrepancies.

       

      We share our inventory between our Orem and Salt Lake City store and do our best to have equipment in the location that you wish to pick up. Consequently, last minute orders cannot be guaranteed to be all in one location as we are not given time to prep.

       

       

      Credit Card on File in Case of Damage

       

      A Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover Card may be kept on file. This agreement authorizes Red Finch Rental to use the card on file for any loss or damage to the equipment rented. A valid state issued ID is required.

       

        

      Insurance is Not Provided

       

      The renter of equipment accepts full liability for any loss or cost of repair. Renters are required to provide proof of insurance naming Red Finch Rental as addition insured and loss payee. To purchase insurance, contact a provider like athosinsurance.com.

       

       

      Renter's Responsibilities

       

      All rental equipment is checked by our staff to ensure proper working conditions prior to leaving the premises. Red Finch Rental must be notified immediately in the case of equipment difficulties at 801-360-3855. Failure to do so may result in full rental charge.  Red Finch Rental assumes no liability for equipment failure and/or availability. The renter is responsible for the proper care and operation of the equipment as well as the return of all included accessories. 

       

      A $50 cleaning fee will be charged for equipment that is returned dirty.

       

      If excessive cleaning is required, additional fees may be assessed to the discretion of Red Finch Rental Employees. Please do not remove filters from lenses. They are there for your protection.

       

      Cancellations

      If a rental is under $100 and is cancelled up to a week before the pick-up date is scheduled there will be no penalty and a full refund if necessary. However, if the rental is over $100 and cancelled up to a week before the pick-up, the renter will be required to pay 10% of the original payment. 

       

      Any rentals cancelled within the week before pick-up will be required to pay 20% of the original payment or receive store credit in place of a refund.

       

      Cancellation of any multi-week rentals within the week before pick-up will either be charged 20% of the original payment or can have Red Finch Rental keep their full payment as in-store credit to be used at a later date.

       

      If the rental equipment has been picked up, cancellations or early returns will not result in a refund of money or any discounts.
