Hi there. Becoming a steadicam operator is not something that happens over night. It is a very specialized field to be in, and you have to establish yourself as an operator amongst your peers to get known and get the jobs. Wanting to start out is not easy without your own rig, and the price tag of a complete rig can be quite intimidating for someone who is wanting to pursue a career in steadicam. So this is a plea to all you established operators, to please share your stories of how you got interested into operating steadicam, how did you finance your first rig, how did you operate before owning your own rig, and apart from maybe doing a workshop, did you have a senior operator mentoring you? I think that other newbies, including myself, will happily receive your war stories, which will give us hope that if there is a will, there is a way. Kind regards Michal Wozniak

you`re welcome. small rigs as flyer are great to train the operating hand. there is less inertia which makes operating a bit harder but also trains your hand to do controlled moves over the gimbal. but be aware of the lightness of the rig itself! bad posture or crazy moves that you shouldn`t attempt with bigger rigs becomes doable as you dont get penalized on spot. dont get bad habits because the rig doesnt punish you. your first big rig will. yesterday i saw buch of very heavily modified model 3s on the forums marketplace. most of them are already sold, but you should check it from time to time. model3 is very a good rig to start out and the prices are very reasonable. i wish you best of luck
