Really? Damn, I remember he definitely offered you the use of his studio camera (don't ask me what it is, I'm a technotard when it comes to cameras). He surely would have offered his Steadicam, too, he usually does. I don't know what he offered you, but I remember that he did. Ah well. Maybe it was lost in your overflowing inbox! :-) It was months back. He might have put it in an email from me as we sometimes do, I really don't know.

My mate Andy certainly has some of the other stuff you listed, and he's a pretty easy-going guy when it comes to lending it, etc. He's got a little crane which has come in very handy over the years.
