those did not look "handheld" to me, none of them. :) hi there! glad to hear everything worked out fine! see you at the VoO premiere :D

check out the fantastic.. errr... umm.. ...

hi there we used a very similar setup also, using baerbel's "sushi server" low mode cage. i think robert eder who did steadicam on this show posted them already here some time ago... (i'm just an aspiring cinematographer who likes to lurk around steadicam forums)

i honestly don't know anything about this. but it highly disturbs me how much shorter the hand model's thumb nail is compared to the others.

on monday i'll have a imagevideo-shoot (canon xl2) i'm going to dp and operate, and was just informed that there'l be this thing too: i've spent half the day today trying to gain control over this thing using a sony pd170 on it.... now, i would definately not dare to call myself anything near a steadycam operator, but the extremely unpleasing result do lead me to the conclusion that the basic construction of this thing might not be perfect... i spent an hour balancing it out, but whenever i try to pan the camera it starts oscillating... sorry for this question, which might seem extremely dumb for most or even all of you, but as i said before, my experience with operating camera stabilizer systems is zero... plus the results are even shakier and worse when i use this thing: (but i assume this might be a bit better with the heavier xl2 .. ?) i hope not to insult any of you pro's when i dare to ask: has anybody experience with this system? and? what am i doing wrong? thanks in advance, alex
