I watched this behind the scenes video from a movie called Merantau showing the steadicam operator using a very awkward operating technique.
He has the arm mounted for left side operating but he holds the sled to his right side using his right hand to hold the center post, touching the gimbal handle only a bit with the side of his palm and with his left hand he is grabbing the center post just above his monitor. Crazy.. :blink:
Watch at 4:18. I believe he 's going to get a real problem with his back if he continues operating like this.
I don't know how his shots look like. I haven't seen the film. There are only some on the trailer It has some great fight sequences.
