I got an email from a gentleman named Nathan Seim. He is an engineer at ATOMIC FEATHER. This team makes lightweight rigs and dollies for independent filmmakers. I think they are fantastic! They have a kickstarter going on for some of the newer equipment they are developing. Only ten days left on that kickstarter so give them a look – really talented team!
