  1. Hi I was wondering, not quite about steadicam but you certainly have the answer. Why do they often if not always cover the back of operators/cameras with scrims or flags outdoor. Can't figure out for what it is since it's used in totally different setups, I would guess it's to block the shadow or something but I see it no matter the sun direction so It confuses me ^^ Cheers,
  2. Yes I'm totally sure, I would like to become a steadicam operator that's why I would like to get one to be able to practice a lot with it. We are currently using gimbals for our music videos, but my team is supporting me to get a steadicam and they also think it will be a + for our production to get steadicam shots when I'll be trained in a market where everything is done with gimbals ! :)
  3. Hi, Please pardon my english :3 Excuse for the boring life talk but I think I need to give a little bit of a context. I'm currently looking for an entry level steadicam, with a student budget to get me started in this world. I bought years ago those small 50€ gimbals and played around a lot with it. I currently work as a DP for small music videos. Since I want to pursue learning the steadicam, I would like to get a little bigger rig to operate in those music videos. The camera to fly would mostly be DSLRs (rigged with cage, wireless focus etc.) and for lovely occasions small camcorders like Fs7, Ursa Mini Pro (pray for me to get to work with the alexa mini). My production company is investing around 2 thousand bucks in video equipement, that we will have to pay in multiple times (we're just begining our 2nd year running don't laugh :p). SO It has to be bought on Amazon (for the multiple payment). So this budget includes around 700€ for a steadicam. (I said don't laugh) And with the amazon obligation, I can't get my hands on a second hand unit on ebay or else. I'm looking at those 2 models, but since there is close to 0 reviews on them I would like to have your advices, I'm sure some experienced people around here can tell if it is garbage or not just looking at it. "The Movo x100 ultimate steadycam" the tilte is not reassuring at all x) https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07GRCD66X/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A2TL1YPR21P6VT&psc=1 There is also this one cheaper on wich I would mount a monitor, but I could not get the HDMI to go through the sled like with the movo https://www.amazon.fr/Flycam-Stabilisateur-Flcm-glxy-rk-stabilisation-professionnel/dp/B01H1JQOKM/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=2ZMZAS55F1HUD&keywords=flycam+galaxy&qid=1577727094&s=electronics&sprefix=flycam+gala%2Celectronics%2C149&sr=1-2 What do you think of these ?Wich one looks best ? Be honest, tell me if you think this is wasted money and I should be patient to gather enough money to buy a bigger rig. Or would it work and get me the possibility to keep improving. Thank you so much for taking your time to read and answer, Sincerly yours Antoine Dorseuil latribuproduction.fr
  4. Hi, I'm from france and currently in last year of cinema school, so not only I'm new to steadicam but also new to cinema in general ^^. As you guessed I want to learn steadicam so I would like to have your opinion on my plan: For a first rig I'm thinking about getting something ultralow budget like this. https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjqpfLwiJrlAhXEiNUKHeqKAmoYABAKGgJ3cw&ae=1&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESQeD2NoDhByvPgRbXshJGeoS3Rdlk7TybJAilL3tyu203lSetpv5Mzm7Kww3uyI9MZ4OuPJtbkIdK5AnXkdTXiKO4&sig=AOD64_1SZTeJEOwfkMRycuJQAAGyahJNKQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwitjerwiJrlAhUDhxoKHQM5BcwQwg96BAgKEBQ&adurl=https://www.proaim.be/products/flycam-galaxy-arm-vest-with-redking-video-camera-stabilizer%3Fvariant%3D22668859637841%26gclid%3DCjwKCAjwlovtBRBrEiwAG3XJ-zxiimvxEk-Zl3XSebDgY3nC6Ev_IG3aAlAhwxZ7OXzaTE-ns9Y6whoCoeIQAvD_BwE Basically a glidecam with arm and vest around 500-600$ Actually for me it's not ultralow budget at all but I guess it is compared to steadicam budgets. I currently work on lowbudget music videos so the cameras I'll need to fly are DSLR like the sony A7III mostly. I would take a glidecam that can fit small cinema camera setups like Devin Supertramp's one. Is it good to get a foot into the world of steadicam and improving myself with this. Or should I just wait to be able to follow a formation and get my hands on a professionnal rig, because I wouldn't learn correctly with this ultralow budget setup. What are you opinions and advice. I'm waiting for your kind help ^^.
