You should meet my cousin Haywood Jablomey

Speak for yourself. I can't wait to see a Steadicam with a Movi on it.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Oh, man that's funny

"Application of the term troll is subjective. Some readers may characterize a post as trolling, while others may regard the same post as a legitimate contribution to the discussion, even if controversial" I got that from Google. Troll or not, an interesting point was raised that no one has addressed: Put a Movi in top of a Steadicam sled and take some footage. Is anybody going to do it?

As insulting as he is, at least it got me thinking about this Steadicam/Movi combination. I never even thought of it until I read his post. Now I can't get it out of my head. Good God! I've been infected with the Steadicam/Movi virus! Please somebody help me! Put a Movi on a Steadicam and show us the footage! Quicklyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Could I be so bold as to ask the nearest Steadicam operator with access to a Movi to give this one a try? Seriously, I can't be the only one who wants to see what it does.

Actually, you haven't. To be accurate, the closest you came to describing a Movi/Steadicam combo was to put it on a Steadicam arm. You also suggested having an experienced Steadicam operator/dolly grip run the Movi, and at one point you mentioned there are situations that a two-man setup will work better. But you never suggested putting the Movi on top of a sled with a second operator for pan and tilt. If anything got the impression you were against this. I'm not suggesting you're wrong. You might have good reasons for avoiding this combination. I don't know. The problem is that if we refuse to experiment, we won't learn anything beyond what we already know.

You may not like this, but... After reading his prediction I'm curious to see what happens with Movi on a Steadicam.

Did somebody bend over and blow you a hot one?
