Dmitry Burenok Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I think I would like to do a side-by-side: the same shot done handheld, Steadicam, Dolly, and Movi. That might be interesting. Dolly wins for sure :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted May 16, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I don't know if winning is the point... Try getting a dolly up a spiral staircase, for example. It would be a fun and educational way to put these devices through their paces to see their limits and strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members William Demeritt Posted May 16, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I swear to god, the way some people have indicated certain individuals posting here has made them reluctant to contribute or sign in to this forum... that's how I'm feeling as the conversation about this ONE piece of equipment spirals into the 7th level of hell. We get it. Amateurs and fakers LOVE it. DSLR shooters think it's the thing that will FINALLY make them legitimate. Veterans hate it, and professionals give an enthusiastic "Meh...". Aside from the potluck of filmmaking equipment embarrassments, is there really any usefulness to this thread anymore? This thread has become the Westboro Baptist Church of ALL SteadicamForum threads: while I defend the thread's rights, I kinda want to see it hit with a brick or disappear.

Premium Members flemming laybourn Posted May 16, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Well I disagree... the title of this thread is "interesting new" rig.. thats what I relate to.. my original answer to the video above was to post a 8 minutes "one shot" I did a few years ago, just to say: "this is how its supposed to be done.." I regretted it and changed my post to " much better" because this is not a pissing contest. I could also have written..: well this is not really that slow, framing is quite random and headroom is going up and down like the early morning waves at my local beach.. But this would be aimed at the operator, and the topic here was gear..cheap gear.. and to be honest.. the picture was floating and could have been done by an inexperienced operator with expensive gear.

Premium Members David M. Aronson Posted July 1, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Well, there's some apparently been some advances in the Movi. After a month of brainstorming, careful planing, and R&D; they've stuck it on the end of a Steadicam Arm and Vest. Link to original post Edit: Damn, didn't read the far enough back. Well, better picture of it and they're publicizing it a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members William Demeritt Posted July 1, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Yo dawg, I heard you like camera stabilizers... so we put a camera stabilizer on yo camera stabilizer so you can stabilize while you stabilize (and get underpaid). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted July 1, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 What about, sticking that right handle on the arm itself and holding the left one in the hand? doesn't work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members David M. Aronson Posted July 1, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Looking more closely at how it's set up, I'm kind of curious what happens when the DP calls for a shot at eye level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
