Thanks for sending that Basson link Wayne. I'd heard of it but never seen it. For some reason it appears to be one of the least known of the zillion 3rd party rigs out there. It has an interesting look, but of course it's all about performance (and then reliability, service etc...!)

I have Serena's book and have thumbed through it a few times. The interviews are cool but it is a bit of a dry read, as it was originally compiled as a doctorate thesis as I recall. GB is finally getting around to writing his own memoirs, and being a big fan of his way with words, I for one can't wait.

The Basson system looks nice. Judging from the OLD (not there anymore) demos on the Basson site (If I were a dealer I'd only put the best demos on my site), the system was crap. Or the operator...
Now, the new clips (with the new system, I gues) are better. I gues the new system IS better!
Still, the operator... just have a look at his hand ("up stairs") on the gimbal. How's that for a light touch? ;-)
