Taken not as advertising, a demo. This "honest" video - for yourself, to test the idea and its concrete implementation, not really trying, without fine-tuning the device, without training, without a special gait, without a wide-angle lens. Temporarily posted this viderolik to show friends inaccessible to traditional methods of capture devices with one hand in the apartment with a creative mess. But then he decided to leave, for those "who understands" ...

Such a panorama is not easy to remove the traditional stedikamom even with his left hand. My new stedikamom complex combined panoramic lift with one hand is much easier than keeping the "naked" camera with two hands without stedikama! You simply point the camera in the right direction with the required speed without thinking about the static and dynamic balance ...

 

An analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of industrial and recreational development of manual stabilization systems obtained an unexpected result - all the developers are not quite correct to set themselves the task! Therefore, instead of some other issues were.

 

The design of manual systems stabilization instead of eliminating the effect of only low-amplitude involuntary oscillation of the hand of the operator to virtually eliminating the possibility of pan and tilt the camera without the assistance of the second hand of the operator.

 

Almost zero friction in the suspension led to a host of high-slow (and medlennozatuhayuschim) fluctuations arising due to the effects of acceleration during the motion of the operator or vehicle, as well as from vozdeytviya air flow! (Note: under normal handheld such oscillations do not occur).

 

All manual stabilization systems does not provide protection system of low-frequency vibrations. No there is also a damping system that have already arisen hesitation.

 

As an axiom, it is proposed instead of these systems use ... left (right) hand of the operator.

 

But the intervention of his left hand (in a very sensitive system) to stop the vibration, rotation and tilt the camera (especially lung cells) significantly reduces the result of efforts to create Precision Devices suspension and fine-tuning of static and dynamic balance of the stabilization system.

 

The design of virtually all handheld devices stabilize fine-tune the static and dynamic balance in only one camera position - horizontal. Shooting with the camera angle above or below the horizon line is not possible without the intervention of second hand with the consequences.

 

Another result of the analysis - in all designs of hand stabilizatrov inherently at least 2 factors (solutions) that contribute to the emergence of low-frequency hand-held stabilization systems for dynamic changes in the angle of inclination of the hand of the operator!

 

January 13, 2010 at about three o'clock, (as a result of eighteen months of creative suffering) author of this site have been practically solve the main problem of manual stabilization systems - most eliminate the influence of involuntary oscillations of the hand of the operator to position the camera to provide a meaningful and fully operate the camera with one hand!

 

The new device allows you to get a steady picture when changing the direction of movement of the camera at any angle with any (reasonable) speed.

After reviewing thousands of pages I have not been able to find a stabilizing system for camcorders such as Steadicam, which for one-hand operation ensures smooth pan and tilt camera with any speed, can get a stable image in the presence of acceleration of the vehicle or in windy weather.

 

Perhaps this information will inspire you to new solutions.

Stabilization system for cameras such as Steadicam - "SteadiKit RADAR" - a basic set of components for assembling one or more hand-held mechanical accessories (devices) for video recording devices (cameras, cameras, mobile phones, etc. ranging from 1 gramm!! to 5 kg ), providing stable (nedergayuscheesya) image during the motion of the operator (hand, wrist of the operator). An extra set of parts allows you to collect the stabilization system (stedikamy) special purpose - shooting with a height of 3 - 4m, shooting multiple cameras, panoramic video, etc.

 

Steadikit - it is also a collection of new and practical schemes, descriptions of specific designs, technical innovations, ideas and practical tips for building stabilization systems for cameras with unique features, capabilities, and the practical results of video.

 

Steadikit - it surpassed all expectations of the result of eighteen months of the author's website.

 

This site - thought in the electronic form of the stabilization systems in order to draw attention to the results of my work, as well as unresolved issues in industrial and recreational developments stabilization systems for cameras.
