Hi,

I'm working on building a device that's a combination of old-school geared head and inertia wheels. The idea is for it to have both RW and virtual functionality that can be used together, or separately. I love the feel of the old devices, and building it as actual gears is core. 

My collaborator is young enough not to have ever used a geared head (and not from production anyway), and I'm trying to find a place with one in-house where we could beg a session for him to try one out. -To see the feel for which we're aiming. None of the local shops seem to have a geared head listed for rental. Does anyone know who has one around here?

Thanks,
Nathan
btw: I'm always asking questions here and getting useful answers; please do let me know if I can ever be helpful to anyone in virtual production or related matters.

I don't see it on their web site, but I'm pretty sure I rented a geared head from Lliberty Camera a couple of years ago and they've been super helpful in the past in letting people try out equipment like that.

The Philadelphia Area Production Association (PAPA)is a place where video production professionals can ask questions, get answers and generally become more awesome. Dues are zero, there are no mandatory meetings and we don't even have a secret handshake. Have a question? Ask your PAPA!
