Hi, could you please send some images? If it is not possible sending them here you can send them to my e-mail: ginuz@ginuz.it thanks, ginuz.

hi, thanks to everybody for your precious advices. I don't know if I will follow a workshop soon but sooner or later I'll do. I don't whant to become a professional steadi-operator, I prefer the director's chair :D But I am sure I will collect some money to get my own steadicam. Probably I will rent some to try and do experiments. If I will decide to buy one I will do the workshop. It's my child's dream... thanks, ginuz.

Hi, I am new here. I'd like to have a STEADICAM rig sooner or later. I work on video since many years. I began editing with AVID systems, then passed on post with After Effects, and finally I found my ground in directing and filming. Little things, of course, but I'ts time to improve myself and do the professional step :D I'd really like to buy a STEADICAM or something like that (please, don't panic!). I am documenting myself thru the internet and some books, but I need to know something that I can easily find here: 1) I'd like to know how I could interchange parts on STEADICAM models. If, for example, I will buy a sk2 for my XL1 and then I will move to a bigger camera, like a BetacamSP or something else (a s16mm), could I change only the arm and take the rest of the rig? Should I have to change everything, from the vest to the arm or could I mix parts of different models? 2) How is different the single action arm of the sk2 from the double action of the pro vid? 3) Is it good, for you, to buy an economic steadicam system to learn and then pass to the STEADICAM? or you suggest me to buy directly the sk2 and then move to pro vid or higher if it will be necessary? (hey! I am not so rich!!! ;) ) 3) what can do a sk2? is it a full functioning STEADICAM with the only limit of weith? Do you think I would charge the XL1s with mini35digital adapter and lenses? 4) How different are the other non original steadicam rigs? Is there something good but chaper than the original that is worth the money? (Basson, Baer-Bel, Hollywood Lite, MK-V, Glidecam, Sachtler, Flycam, ecc...) I read bad things on most of them but, putting aside the prejudgements (exist? :rolleyes: ), is there something else good? thank you very much! hope to get one of those sublime-STEADI-thing soon. :D ginuz.
