Hey there, thought I should drop a line too.
I just bought my Pilot today. I have the HPX170 and after spending the whole afternoon putting it on and everything, I THINK I have dynamic balance. I spin it, push it hard forward and back, up and down, left and right, the camera doesn't really wobble. It just rotates ever so slowly a bit. That is a pretty good proof that I have dynamic balance, right?
The problem starts when I put my left hand on the post. It then starts to wobble and stuff. It seems like the more I try to control it with my left hand the worse it gets, but I have to use my left hand to actually frame my shot.
Is it a matter of practice? Should I get that EFP DVD or are there other GOOD options right there for in home training?
Thanks alot.
This Steadicam thing is fun!
