Re: Using a spider dolly outdoors?
Sorry I missed responding Mark--as far as the Losmandy parts for the Flextrak, they would work also with tubing (don't think you want to be hauling around steel, but yes aluminum or PVC). Your trick...

Re: Steadicam using smallHD monitors as weights
There's an operator named Alex Hubert in Christchurch--don't know him though.
