Q: 5. Pre-sale question: I'm currently running a Sony FS5 with heavy lenses, an Atomos Inferno and sometimes a a MixPre recorder. I usually load up with lots of power (AB Gold) and may want to set up for a recoil rig operation in the future. Would I be better served by the FSB6 or an Ace XL on the Flowtech sticks?

A: The FSB6 has a load capacity between 3.3 to 17.6 pounds while the Ace XL goes between 4.4 to 17.6. Both will handle a larger load well, however if you run the set up a bit lighter the FSB6 with a lower capacity gives you the room to do so.
