thanks i just contacted tiffin for help and they will advise me how to balance it it seems that without the docking you can't balance it by your own. to bad it cost 80$

i was looking for similar clamp on amazon but could not see something that is durable enough to hold the staedicam and the camera and btw i contacted robert hope to see if he can help or advise thanks

Las Vegas, NV

And yet i am in the same position i found myself more then 20 times by now, just can't do it. Every small tweak i do, is just going the other way, now it orbits, left right forward backwards can't figure it out

thank because they made the handle in a shape you can't mount it on a light stand. would save me tones of time, I will try your suggestions and keep you update thanks for the support

here is a link to a video, this was the best i can do, and sorry my hands are shaking after doing this for the last hour or so http://we.tl/x4eJmTktvA

Lawrence I have done it all, step by step. its going 360 back to the same spot

Like i said i will try again and try to send pictures or video. Stephen what does it show? it does not show anything beside i need more help If i would tell every forum member (dpreview and d-spot and much more) to get a course to master the first basic step i think i could open my own academy. i will try again and keep you posted, like i said, i tried to play with balancing the steadicam over several hours, moving everything i am just missing something p.s Robert Starling is an operator and renting equipment i didn't see any workshop that he does.

Hey Lawrence Why Arrogant, I am helping people in forums since 12 years now, did some of them took my clients i guess, did some of them cut me in prizes, i am sure, but this is helping people when you can and getting help when you need it. I got the Steadicam to add value of 10% for my photography, i have not intention to be steadicam operator, just thought someone cal explain me what i am doing wrong when i try to balance it after i read the manual, online tutorials and much more. Sorry if it's a closed forum for professional only, but i could not get a simple answer just how to balance the steadicam, i am not looking for a short course online to summarize what all of you learned with sweat just few minutes to help me stable the damn thing. Wish all of you great year i will try again what you have wrote me

Stephan What is your problem, if you don't want to help don't You know how many people like me i help start there way in photography, flash, setup, editing, hundreds for years, Just asked 10 minutes help to stable the steadicam, you just spent 2 minutes basically about nothing. 1. i don't know workshops where i live 2. does it make sense to take full day course just to stable a steadicam, millions can do this by themselves for some reason i can't

Hey i got the manual, i just need the help to stabilize it, nothing more,

Hey guys Thomas is really busy and i REALLY need help, this thing is getting dust because i can't balance it. Does anyone has few minutes to Skype with me and help me set this thing up?

Hey Guys Thanks First of all i want to be able to stable it without even talking about workshops from tiffen Thanks Sustaining i will private msg you, i appreciate the help I really tried to flow up the manual, tutorials i am missing something for sure

Hey guys, i bought for my studio a steadicam 2 years ago, to be honest we never used it because we could never balance it again now i moved to the US and wanted to go back to video , i just got the Steadicam Solo from Tiffen, after watching 20 videos and 3 days i could not figure out how to balance this steadicam, is there anyone who could help me via Skype? i really don't know what to do anymore i was trying to work on the weights, gimbal, extend the pool, getting crazy and can't feel my hands anymore Please advise
