Premium Members Mike Braaten Posted October 15, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hello Everyone~ I've been lurking for a couple months; thought I'd introduce myself. Three weeks ago I dropped the bulk of my savings built over five years as a camera utility/gaffer on reality shows into a brand-new Steadicam Archer. It's a great rig. It's been slow going from simply conditioning myself to the weight of the rig, finding the best vest configuration and learning dynamic balance. That last one was a big stumbling block and I'm so grateful to the experienced ops on here for their guidance, to which I turned time and again in my quest for a usable pan! I just shot my first student short as DP/Steadi Op and I'm pleased with the results. Still a ways to go before I'm making the big shows (not to mention making back the money I dropped on the rig!), but as long as I know where to find the answers to my problems I feel confident in my future as a steadi guy! Thank you all! ~m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
