Doesn't mean anything directed towards you guys, just the industry as a whole. There's plenty of people out their either using, or not using, gear that they're being paid to promote when they don't really believe in it. No different than anything else, pro sports, etc. There's a plethora of shows sponsored by companies where you never even see the people using the products, but when they're asked about them they'll all tell you how great they are.

As for your arm, I have in fact heard a lot of good stuff about it. In the latest issue of North American Whitetail it was mentioned that they're using it for their show. You've gotta love free press! However, as I said, the pricetag is a bit much for me right now. Plus I'm only shooting a GL2, so the arm may be a bit overkill. If I ever step up to an XL1 or similar camera I'll be forced to upgrade and most likely go with the HB arm. I looks like it's rock solid.
