So I got a email this morning from a guy named Mike, in the body of his email was the tracking number for my Seb Coaxial front rest..........now the count down begins......I hope customs just slides it through with no hold ups....

Is that the 61 lb monster?

Post some pictures when you get it, ok?

ordered it just a couple months ago........not the big boy but the 22 pounder

leaves me thinking now that maybe someone backed out and I was next on the list, wasn't expecting to see it until Christmas to tell you the truth..........

So did it show up yet? I am interested in one as well so do you mind me asking where you got if from and ball park cost of it?

Got it today in the mail, the box was covered in yellow customs tape so they obviously opened it up and had a look, it came in a plywood box lined in styrofoam, well above your standard shipping practices. I got the counter weight option with both the rubber o-ring and plastic bumper front stops, and one piece bag, took 5 minutes to assemble and I can't lie......this thing is a major piece of artwork, the quality of the pieces and assembly are second to none, the movement of the joystick is on par with the finest of swiss clock works, the second one will be here middle of next week. I think I may have to upgrade my rear bags now to something more upper class, all I can say is wow.........

That's quite the piece of artwork. Almost looks like it should come with batteries and remote control.

Congrats!
Seb seems to do really nice work and good designs.
Most guys seem to set them up with the handle on the other end so its not in the way of that leg, but you probably knew that.
I kind of enjoyed shooting with the coax I made a couple years ago, but its a fairly different style/technique of shooting and you do need the right rear bag for it, the one I was using wasn't ideal for it.

The machining looks spectacular.. congrats

I read the next model will come with a 600cc motor so you can drive it into position. Wonderful piece of equipment.
