Which version of Photoshop are you using? CS4 is the only one that can pull in the 7D Raw files without DNG conversion (at least that's what my experience was). I think you still need to update...

Thanks for the responses. Can the people that have Neoscene actually working well post their system specs? I'm mainly wondering if I'm underpowered for it.

Not sure. I balanced mine pretty well the other day while messing around on my Glidecam 4000. I'm sure it can't be a weight issue where you'd need the 4000. What kind of balance issue are you...
