Premium Members JobScholtze Posted April 2, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Why do you need a gimbal, thats so 1972 :unsure: Better get yourself a A200 superduper turbo auto level keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Olszewski Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Ok Here it is I do not have a lot of money however I am interested in steadicam, and since I can not afford to buy a whole rig I was thinking of making one so that I can get practice and possibly get good enough to be hired as a steadicam operator someday.......... However I think that making the gimbal and handle are going to be the hardest part so I thought maybe I could get some advice on what kind to affordably buy or make. I apologize if my vague question was inappropriate. I hope that this helps out. Edmund O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Charles King Posted April 3, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 AH, now i get it. Well, i would like to suggest to take a look at THIS link. Its the homebuilders website and you will find lots of info about building your stuff. I think charles will jump in here. Very cool site btw Thanks Job for the PR. I was thinking about it Job but I personally don't make it a habit of PR'ing the HBS site or forum on this board. If someone else does, then it's okay. :) Once I'm here I tend to stick to what this board is catered towards. I think it's more professional that way. Also, I think it gives HBS more respect from a sideline perspective. Don't you think? :) I've had operators, including Garrett ;)(sorry I couldn't resist) tell me that, they liked the HBS site and forum and more. I don't think it gives anyone a sense of false info. At least I hope not. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Olszewski Posted April 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Thank you everyone, I think I may be able to get the job done now, though it may be a bit longer before that time. However I will continue to let you know how it goes. Edmund O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
