I recently took a steadicam course. I had done some operating with the pilot before, and the pilot was mounted left side.
When I started the course, I was pretty sure that the left side mounting was the way to go for me, however since we were three operators at the course, and only one rig, I had to train with the right side. A few hours into the course I started complaining about this being kinda wrong, and that I wanted to try the left side. I changed it. And tried the left side which I had been craving for. But sadly this did not satisfy me at all. So I went straight back to the right side mount.
So what is the moral of the story?? I dont really know. I guess it is at least smart to really test both sides thoroughly before choosing something for certain. I have been doing a few liveTV shows now, and I am pretty confident that the right side is best for me.
