Did you ever get any luck balancing this setup? I have the exact same camera, lens and steadicam and I am having the same difficulties.
Thanks
Yeah, me too. I have spent about 2 hours working on it. I can get it to balance sort of but when i start moving it goes everywhere. Nothing like what i see in the video. Why is the cookbook not updated with more cameras? This is one of the most popular cameras for people to get started with in digital video. I think the lens is simply too heavy. I have thought about getting a few prime lenses but i have not yet. This is really frustrating. The video makes it look so easy.
