on monday i'll have a imagevideo-shoot (canon xl2) i'm going to dp and operate,
and was just informed that there'l be this thing too:
i've spent half the day today trying to gain control over this thing using a sony
pd170 on it....
now, i would definately not dare to call myself anything near a steadycam operator,
but the extremely unpleasing result do lead me to the conclusion that the basic
construction of this thing might not be perfect...
i spent an hour balancing it out, but whenever i try to pan the camera it starts
oscillating...
sorry for this question, which might seem extremely dumb for most or even all of
you, but as i said before, my experience with operating camera stabilizer systems
is zero...
plus the results are even shakier and worse when i use this thing:
(but i assume this might be a bit better with the heavier xl2 .. ?)
i hope not to insult any of you pro's when i dare to ask: has anybody experience with this
system?
and? what am i doing wrong?
thanks in advance,
alex
