Congrats to NBC Steadicam Operator John Montalbano on a fantastically operated single shot today on "The Today Show". This Today Show Link shows behind the scenes as well as a feature on the college video that went viral, inspiring this network version.

 

You made our Steadicam Ultra look good !

 

Great job to you John and your able crew of utilities and assistants. Fun to watch and no doubt fun to operate.

 

Best to you and your colleagues.

Great job and especially when dealing with non-professional actors for the most part. :D

 

A shame they didn't bring him in with the rig show the folks at home and give him a much better show of appreciation than just a "Thanks to the Steadicam crew"

 

Definitely a One'r to remember!

Well, would be nice indeed to see John again in the 'live' picture with the rig strapped on. But he got some nice coverage at approx 03:00 / 03:05 where you can see John in the face with the rig strapped on..

The part of the clip outside is supercool, all that crowd..

 

A GREAT one'er to remember for sure!
