Charles Papert-here's the sled
 
Here's the sled that you wanted to see. Sorry for the bad quality pics. The were done hastily...hey hey, excuses excuses :)
I've just gotten my anton bauer battery which fits nicely under the sled. I'm using the Trimpac 14 14.4v @ 45 watts. The gimbal is an old gimbal which will be replaced soon with a much nicer machined one.
Of course the sled is still the same but as just been re-worked, things added and adjusted. Been busy trying to get my book finished. The only thing prolonging it from being finished is my machinist. He's been busy with other more important customers(with bigger pockets than me), go figure. So hopefully my new arm will be finished in about a months time. Then I can start taking more pics of it for my 'How I buid my stabilizer journal' if you you will kinda book.
I'm grateful from the major stabilizer companies, like steadicam,pro and Glidecam for offering to send pics of their systems to use in my book.
So hopefully I'll get this book publish by early next year.

Impressive Charles. The bottom half looks remarkably like the original production version of the EFP...!

It does?! Well, I never saw the original production version. Glad you like it.
