Kessler Crane motion control vs competition

[RealJasonBourne]

I was going to buy a kessler revolution head and shuttlepod motion control, but then I came across this kickstarter project which basically does the exact same thing for way cheaper. Do you think the kessler gear is overpriced now?

If i wanted to buy the kessler gear it would be around $5000. this kickstarter project you can get it for under $2000

I can't believe these guys made $666k on their kickstarter project. What do you need this $2000-$5000 revolution head for? How many seconds of your 10 minute short film is going to be devoted to these stunning shots? Why is it so central to your storytelling?

I think you're obsessing over gear. Good gear is great, but at our indie film level, some things are overkill, given our limited resources.

Good advice from trueindie.

But damn that gear is nice.
