Sadly i have had two shoots where i did steadicam and did not even reveive a credit at all. At least i got the footage after the job so i used it in my showreel.

Hey Guys. Please could you give me advice on what transmitter receiver I can buy for my Rig. There is so many on the market I just have no clue what to buy.. Please could you help Kind regards Jurgen Badenhorst

Hey All Just wanted to express my thanks to all the operators out there who write on this Forum. I worked on my first feature Film as a steadicam operator about a week ago. the Movie is called "Gallowwalker" with Wesley Snipes as the lead. We where shooting Panavision i think it was Q2 or D2 that shoots 2 perv Which made framing a nightmare and on top of that we where in the desert in Namibia and it was SO hot. I just wanna say to all the young and upcoming operators, that does steadicam is a art and I thank the operators that have started these websites and also Afton Grant's website for us to be able to read about operating and ask YOU guys Q when need be... This must have been the most difficult thing i have done in a long time, Do i wanna be a operator "ANYDAY" will i do a feature again "HELL YEAH" keep writing guys you help us start our own careers Thanks...

is there a website i can check out... Thanks..

hey Guys... I bought a GB vest from Walter last year December and have been working with it for about a year now..I must say I have only worked on the GB vest so it is hard to give input on the diffrent vest BUT one thing i can say is that after doing a 2 hour Idols "live" show without docking once i was really impressed. I have use the front mount only once but 80% of the time i am on the back mount... Still the best thing I bought this year... Stay safe..

Could anyone tell me who shot this video "Sandi Thom - I Wish I was a Punk Rocker" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr9rMqkG9h0 kind regards Jurgen Badenhorst

Hey Rob & Thomas I just returned from the live show now...Sadly I could not go on the internet before the show otherwise I would have tried some of the advice before we started the production. I still have two shows left so I will pratice this week to see if I cannot get this right. It is hard going to a steadicam course not knowing all these small problems that can jump up on productions, thanks for guys like you who have done this a lifetime i can only pop a e-mail and fix the problems... Thanks again for all the advice I will keep you guys posted on how it went.. Did my first 16mm shoot this week had to pull of a 3min shot...talk about STRES!!!! Oh Thomas I actually downloaded your showreel last week how weird is that....Luv you work>>>Rob is there a place I can see some of your stuff... From a hot South-Africa later.... B)

Hey evrybody.. I have been on this forum only for a few months now I am still a very fresh operator. Overnight my work load jumped from about 5 days a month to 5 days a week..I need to ask you guys a Q: how can i get my rig not to do small pendulum "sorry for the spelling" effects I am doing "Pop Idols" at the moment and when I look back at the stuff I shot it looks like the rig is making small movements left and right it is like my waist moves the rig when I walk...I have a Pro arm and rig...Do i need to shorten my Rig or do I need to adjust the arm more....i have less problems on Film rigs due to weight but I sometimes see it as well... What can you guys suggest I do.. Regards

Hey all you guys. i just have to take a min to thank the guys in Germany who sold me the Zoe handle zoom and for all you guys who helped me with websites ext... I am working on the South African "Idols" and today for the first time took the Zoe for a spin, my Director was so impressed that he wants to drop the dolly because i can do the same shot from the steadicam using the Zoe.. Thanks again to all you guys for the help..I am new in the game been operating from January 2006 and the help on this site has made me be very professional as a operator, thanks to you all...

Hey There Matt, thanks for the replay. I did do a course in Munich in January but it was a bit of a rush we had to learn a lot in a small amount of time...I still learned a lot though. I am trying to spend about an hour a day on my Rig. But I will just keep on Praticing....Thanks Bro JB...
