Hi all,

The Flyer is rated 19 pounds (more or less 9kgs) but I'm interested to know if someone ever attempted to fly gear past that weight with the Steadicam Flyer?

Thanks

Depends on the arm, some lift the spec capacity and some arms can do a wee bit more.
This is the older Flyer with the 15 pound limit: Steadicam Flyer professional rig for lightweight cameras with JVC HD111E on feature film (http://www.steadi-onfilms.com.au/steadicam_flyer.html)
Sure as hell looks more than 15 pounds.

Yes, it really does!

I was thinking if anyone has tried to upgrade the springs with success tough

Unwise move mate.. That will over stress the gimbal and other components. Better to use something else with a higher weight capacity.

That's a really good point Nick!
