James DeRuvo: Then I went over to Tiffen's booth. And a couple months ago, they introduced the Steadicam Air. It's not a steady cam, it's a monopod. But the cool thing about it is it's gas controlled and it's got a foot pedal. You'd no longer have those clips or those screws to take out the different quadrants of your monopod. It's just a foot pedal. You just put it down, you press the button with your foot and you move it up and down and up and that's it.

Larry Jordan: Can you do on air moves? Is it smooth enough for on air?

JD: It's really smooth and it's really cool. I want one, because I hate my monopod because I just don't like the clips, because they get loose and you got to tighten them. This is all gas controlled. It's really nifty 499. A little pricey for a monopod but it's well-built and it's really super nice.

LJ: Steadicam has always built good stuff.
