you sure that's Steadicam? almost looks handheld.

those did not look "handheld" to me, none of them. :)

Nice to meet you here in the forum, Alex !!

And thanks again for helping me with the moviecam :-)

hi there!

glad to hear everything worked out fine!

see you at the VoO premiere :D

check out the fantastic.. errr... umm.. ...

hi there

we used a very similar setup also, using baerbel's "sushi server" low mode cage.

i think robert eder who did steadicam on this show posted them already here some time ago...

(i'm just an aspiring cinematographer who likes to lurk around steadicam forums)

What can I say? I haven't seen anything this cool in a long time. I know there are a lot of gadget freaks amongst us & I know how much we all like our PDAs. I'm positively drooling.....

Too bad I have a year left on my contract (had to renew for two years to get two Treo 650s - one for me; one for the wife). And my wife just gave me a 80G video i-Pod for Christmas. Oh well.

i honestly don't know anything about this.

but it highly disturbs me how much shorter the hand model's thumb nail is compared to the others.

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
