Hi Chris, I agree, the Fisher 10 is a bit too large for dance floor moves, and tough to guide with one hand while you try to jib with the other. The other problem is that since we were using a live location for the move (airport), the dolly winds up rotating clockwise or anti clockwise on long crab moves, which is not a big deal on a peewee, but on a fisher10 you take up huge amounts of space.The Grip Workshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17783591591087155415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-19424723154764153562008-03-30T19:56:00.000-07:002008-03-30T19:56:00.000-07:00Thanks anonymous, sorted out with a little trial a...Thanks anonymous, sorted out with a little trial and error.

In my opinion, the spring mechanism in the Fisher arm makes it hard to feel where you are in the arm and control speed. I know, from my Fisher days, that there is a cue control at the base of the boom handle. You might try futzing with it. Fisher users will better inform you than I will.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466991423411721535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-36840583421436397562008-03-29T20:17:00.000-07:002008-03-29T20:17:00.000-07:00I dont know if I risk offending anyone, but I pers...I dont know if I risk offending anyone, but I personally like the fisher 10 best. Although the last few times I rented one (from Arri Media in Munich, Germany)the jib had no "feather" on the stop or start. Is there a way to adjust this on location? It makes for a very stressful time. Especially when you have complex dancefloor moves with 12 different colors of Gaffer tape on the floor and 5 different boom positions to hit.The Grip Workshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17783591591087155415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-51652433826384474302008-03-29T15:37:00.000-07:002008-03-29T15:37:00.000-07:00Hi Azurgrip.
