If you or your production decide you would like
to have an exoskeleton available to you, I will
bring it to your set, properly fi t you and give
you access to a number of online tutorials, a
manual, and other information produced by
Levitate Technologies. The rental rate for the
Airframe is the same as an Easyrig for camera:
$125/day, $375/week, or $1125/month. It is a
modest but exciting step forward.
Currently, I am testing another exoskeleton, the
CDYS, made by Crimson Dynamics in China. It
may offer a more affordable alternative. I am also
still bringing the loaner given to me by Levitate
out to sets for a week at a time. If you want to
try one, it is a great way to get a test drive at no
cost. So, let me know if you are interested in
renting or a free trial or purchasing your own.
You can contact me on Facebook, LinkedIn, or
through the Local. I'm confi dent I can put you
in contact with the right people.
When the line producer asks, "Is it really necessary?" present them with a copy of
the Safety and Health Awareness sheet available on the Contract Services website at:
https://www.csatf.org/extendedsuccessivetakes/ and reply, "absolutely!"
