I also want to join the party by offering inexpensive stablizer. :) I know it is hard.

Hi Mark, Tell me what do you think of this video. Is it steady? My camera is JVC GY-DV5000, with lense and battery weighs around 7kg. It took me around four months, around one hour per day to get that level. My exercise video divx format(You may need to get free divx decoder from www.divx.com) file size around 50mb http://www.salenz.com/movie/88.avi I look forward to your comments. Regards Leigh

Dear Paul, You are really nice guy.:) Regards Leigh

Hi Meg, I am sorry that what I said hurt you. Regards Leigh

Hi Paul, Someone said that operating Steadicam needs years of practise and the skill is not easily learned. It is not just simply pay the money and buy the rig and shooting perfect steady footage tomorrow. Why are you worried that some inexperienced guy from your neighbour dragging your business? :D Regards Leigh

Same video but for real player. http://www.salenz.com/movie/go.rmvb Regards Leigh

Here is a divx video. The file size is around 18mb. http://www.salenz.com/movie/go.avi You may get divx decoder from www.divx.com Regards Leigh

I found learn to operate stablizer is just like learn to ride bicycle. Now gets better and better. :P

Now I found to get excellent steady footage needs lots of hard work. I will do my 128mm focal lense trainning exercise every day for an hour and wish in next 30 days everything will be fine. :D

Hi Alec, That is a good idea. Do you mean this laser pointer? I will go buy this one for my training. Regards Leigh

Dear Mitch, Thanks for the link. Is the following parameter right for that link? First Format: Video 1/2" TV 4:3 4:3 CCD Sensor 6.4x4.8mm Format: Panavision Std 35mm Widscreen 1.85 Projected 0.825x0.446" Choose Dimension to use in the Calculation: Diagonal Enter the Starting focal length for the Left Column:6.4 Enter the Increments to list in the Left Column:2 Enter the Highest focal length for the Left Column:128 Do you know what formula the website use to get that table? Thanks Regards Leigh

Hi Rob, That is just for my training exercise. My camera is 1/2" camera. And the camera model is JVC gy-dv5000u. May I ask what is equivalent to on 35mm film? What formula you use to get that number 300mm on 35mm film? TIA Leigh

Hello everyone, I set a target which is a window and the distance from the camera to the window is around 20 to 30 meters. I set my fujinon lense focal length to be 128mm. I got a cross on my lcd screen which is in the center of the screen. I walk towards the window and I saw the image displayed on the screen turn left and right and is very hard to center on the window. May I ask in this situation what is an acceptable ship away distance? Less than 50cm left or right of the window? The ideal situation is always in the center of the window of course. TIA Leigh

You mean stablizer? DIY one and in the process of patent application and hope to go commercial later. Regards Leigh

Dear Nikk, Thanks for the suggestion. I only has around two or three months experience using the stablizer. I just touched my video camera since Apr, 2004. It is quite challenge to be a professional cameraman and I love challenge. I have around ten years professional software development experience. 8 ) And I am a software engineer. Regards Leigh

Dear Kareem, Nice work. You mentioned about "a lot of green paint", do you mean the video use green screen technology? Was the background texture composed later by two different video? How did you do the lightting? I thought that it is very hard to do lighting by green screen with steadicam. TIA Regards Leigh

Dear Nicolas, I agree with you. Regards Leigh

Nope I can't access steadicam.com either, in the New Zealand. Regards Leigh

Dear Michael, Thank you very much. Regards Leigh

Hello everyone, I just browse the following website. http://www.steadicam-ops.com/database/soaL...rdID=New%20York Can anyone tell me why rate is based on 10hr a day. I thought normal working hours is 8 hours a day, five days a week. Do you have to work 10 hour full? What about lunch time and coffe break etc? Will it cover balance the rig time and prepare the rig time? I think that I can't hold 20kg for 10 hours all the time. 8 ( Just curious. Thank you for your time to read my message and I look forward to hearing from you. TIA Leigh

Dear Julian, THX Leigh
